The folks there were just awesome! We were greeted with a handwritten note by Isabella along with a homemade treat! The location was great. The room was enormous and the bed comfy. Breakfast was a real treat! We loved being so close to the water and would definitely stay there again. It was a perfect location for our day trip to Kylemore Abbey!
