I stayed at Kate's place for 2 nights for a course close by. I definitely had the better deal compared to my colleagues who stayed at the Meridian.
Kate is very warm and welcoming and did not mind that I arrived there quite late.
The room itself is big and self-contained. You can enter through the house or use a separate entrance. The room has a bar fridge and a kettle with tea, coffee and biscuits on the side. Kate also provides you with plenty of towels and hotel-style toiletries. Wi-Fi was also included which was very handy for my studies.
In the main house, there is a common room. They have a super friendly dog and a very cute cat.
I will definitely stay at Kate's place again when I am back in Old Bar.
