"Very comfortable stay. Beds very soft memory foam and with the windows cracked, temperature was perfect. Just put a sock under the shade to keep it from swaying with the breeze. Tight space as pictured. I used the seats to put my luggage on at night. Water pressure was amazing. Kitchen well equipped and had an air fryer. Fridge has a freezer so I could freeze my cold packs for the road. Perfect location for peace and quiet yet close to Kenmare. Check out the nearby stone circles."
