Lovely receptionist who was very accommodating upon arrival. Room was well presented and clean. Large double bed was comfortable. Bar and restaurant seemed busy however we didn’t eat there. Lovely breakfast with plenty options and the staff were very attentive. Plentiful car parking nearby. Would definitely recommend as a base for exploring west cork
