Paddy's place is next to the beach, five minute walk to town, clean, warm (I stayed in winter) central and really easy to find. It has everything you need in terms of beds, TV, cooking and hot showers. It is very quiet at night and helps you sleep very soundly. I recommend it as a retreat and it was a lovely environment. The wifi worked brilliantly as well - which was greatly appreciated as I was in Byron for work.
