We booked here because of all the wildly positive reviews on Trip Advisor, but our experience was a bit different. We were met by a surly gentleman, who remained reluctant every time we dealt with him. We found the proprietress very full-on, so it was difficult to relax around her. The shared breakfasts were also a bit of an ordeal: 8 strangers sitting around a small table in a small room in the morning can be stressful.
Our room was very clean, and smelling strongly of bleach from the bathroom. The small view of Bantry Bay was obscured by a series of 4 x 4 vehicles parked right outside the window.
If you don't mind a very dominant hostess, and lots of interaction with other guests, then choose this place, but if you are looking for somewhere relaxing, this may not be the place for you.
