Great place to stay on Valentia Island to explore the region. Staff was outstanding. Breakfast and dinner the one night we ate there were delicious. It was a pleasant experience to stay in a hotel that has been in business for over 150 years.

Old hotel that needs some updating. Wi-Fi is spotty. Our room looked over a roof that had equipment on it. No view at all. We still liked the place for its ambiance and pub
