Room 3 provides views over the church and town, while the Deluxe King Room features a small ensuite and communal bathroom. The scenic gardens have camellia bushes and a variety of flowering shrubs, with a sun terrace and picnic area for outdoor stays.
Breakfast & Dining
The B&B provides a high-quality, locally-focused breakfast with options including vegan, gluten-free, and full English/Irish choices. Engaging communal dining uses local products and fresh pastries, with tomatoes served stalk-free as part of the attention to detail.

Sustainability & Unique Touches
The garden is used to grow flowers and vegetables for breakfast, supporting an eco-friendly theme with cultural immersion in local products.
