The breakfast here is top-notch, featuring locally sourced ingredients, including hearty vegetarian options and unique dishes like Baileys-infused oatmeal. Plus, the proximity to The South Pole Inn makes dining a breeze—no need for a car to reach a slice of local history.

Street-facing rooms can be noisy, disrupting sleep, and be prepared for the bathrooms—some are smaller and may have plumbing issues, which others have noticed too. Parking is a challenge, especially when the area gets busy, and you might find the entryway cluttered, which affects that initial welcoming vibe. Lastly, the Wi-Fi connection isn't the best, which can be a bit frustrating if you want to stay connected during your stay.

Here’s the bottom line

Expect a delightful stay with very comfortable rooms, great local breakfast options, and attentive hosts who provide invaluable tips for exploring nearby attractions. Enjoy some homemade pizzas too! Just be mindful of potential street noise from the front rooms and limited parking during peak times.

The breakfast was superb, especially the oatmeal with Baileys. And the quiet environment, with the lovely sounds of cows and sheep, added to the charm of the stay.

But the dining room could use some more decorative flair to match the excellent food.

Just an excellent fit for a city trip in Annascaul with fantastic value for money. The breakfast had great options and was quite tasty! Request a room away from the street to avoid noise.
