Superbly clean and comfortable accommodation. Conor and family are very welcoming host and tap into Conor for the local knowledge he’s also an eloquent conversationalist. Breakfast was good, choice of cereals, toast etc. modern and spotlessly clean shower room and toilet. There’s adequate parking for all comers and the property feels very safe and secure. The location on the hill is brilliant, and it’s a 7 minute walk down to the fort and nearest watering hole. But beware it’s a good old hill on return - but to be fair it’s easily managed by evenly the moderately fit.
I ate (on different nights 😀) in the The Bulman (nearest) and The Spaniard (2nd nearest), both were okay,. The Spaniard came easy tops for food quality/preparation great beer and super welcoming staff. But the Bulman has a certain style to it which shouldn’t be missed even if only for a drink. There’s a vast amount of restaurants/cafes and bars with entertainment a little further down the hill from The Spaniard (but remember that return hill after your 3rd Guinness, consider a cab after your fifth 😀). I was non plussed initially about visiting the nearby Charles Fort, but now I’ve been, I would highly recommend it, it’s scale and history and the guide are amazing.
