On a main road, so not really child friendly.

The hosts Gerry and Sadie were very welcoming and were contactable if any issues arose. Lots of parking space and a pleasant patio area to sit out when the sun comes out. Belleek is only short distance away and has some lovely pubs and restaurants of you want to dine out as well as The Jolly Farmer just down the road. Co Would recommend.
