The hosts Terry and Avril were sweet and very welcoming. We arrived and Terry immediately showed us around and the next morning we had a fantastic breakfast and Avril told us about local sights.

Host Avril and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean with lovely extras and small additional touches in the room, fresh flowers and deodorants. Marvellous home cooked breakfast of the highest quality

Very warm welcome and yet professional host. Breakfast 1st class.
Close to beautiful scenery Neendrum, Castle Espie bird sanctuary. Close to nearby towns. Very authentic Irish hospitality.
Can strongly recommend at less a weekend stay.
Can't think of anything.
