A very big note of appreciation to Ailéin who was very helpful and friendly, and took the trouble of letting us know about an amazing and easy to reach historic site Grianan of Aileach — we saw it and are so grateful! Everything else about our stay was easy and straight-forward and I’m glad to recommend.

We had an amazing stay at the hotel this week! The room was spotless a the staff were so kind. We were also provided with a free breakfast which had many options for hot and cold food. The location at the hotel is great so close to the local town meaning you don’t need to take public transport! I will hopefully be returning and recommending to all!
