Loved the underfloor heating really useful for our dog. 10 minute walk into the very friendly village of Kinvara. This has everything you need. Loved the little craft shop, cafes, pubs, and we had a beautiful fish meal at The Pier restaurant as a special treat. We loved this location, hope to return here next February.

Very clean. Walking distance to town, although walking on the narrow road is safer during the day. No wi-fi was rough. The thin, small and limited number of towels were pathetic. Getting the right temp for the showers was tricky. Loved saying good morning to the donkeys, goats, dog and cow. Decent place at a fair price.
