I had flash backs to Fawlty Towers. When we went to check in we were informed in no uncertain terms that we didn’t have a reservation. In fact, the landlord rattled off all of the names of the other guests of which mine was not on that list. I then showed the proprietor my confirmed reservation to be told “well that’s why, AirB&B, everyone else uses booking dot com.” Another guest began to make small talk with me at which time the landlord shouted to the other guest “what do you think this is a pub, leave them check in.”
The bed was fine and the room harmless enough. The shower, in need of a clean, had a sign asking for patience and 3-4 minutes before the hot water would appear. The shower was eco friendly before it’s time, very little water is wasted because very little comes from the shower head.
If you want a glimpse of state of the art accommodation in Ireland circa 1985 with a touch of Basil Fawlty then this is your spot.
All was not a loss though as the breakfast service and quality could not be faulted…regardless of other guests declaring that a Full Irish doesn’t exist, only a Full English.
