Guest Testimonial:
“Very comfortable and welcoming property, only 30 minutes from Shannon airport. Room was large and very clean. Excellent, and inexpensive, dinner in the bar. Great breakfast in the morning. And, don’t miss the golf club: challenging course with long fairway and fast greens. We played the afternoon we arrived. Will stay here again!”
