Lovely location

Lovely location in Dunfanaghy. Easy check-in. Friendly helpful staff and good breakfast. Room was ok, but bathroom a bit tight and towels really need upgrading - perhaps I expected more for the price.

Very comfortable throughout. Good food. Great, friendly service. Shame about the derelict building opposite not within their control of course. Easy parking.
