The host of this property, John Parker, helped to make my stay and visit to Ireland memorable. This gentleman is kind, caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated to hospitality beyond all my expectations. Not only did he offer me advice on things to do and places to visit, but he also extended himself by acting as a driver, guide, and helper to take me to places that I could not have easily reached by other means. This resulted in a magical and life-changing experience which filled my brief 5-day stay with lasting memories.
I also very much appreciated that he fetched me at the airport after a long flight, and then took me on a brief orientation ride so that I could be more familiar with the area in which I was staying. I also had my first taste and half-pint of Guinness to christen and bless my Irish visit.
I also want to point out the great value and amenities of this facility, which is located so close to Shannon Airport, local and long distance Bus Éireann pickup stops, a major shopping mall, the excellent Shannon Public Library, and lots of delicious and inexpensive eateries. Buying fresh "Grab and Go" prepared foods at the local markets, to store and enjoy at the B&B were easy and available. The free on-site Wi-Fi, and the free Internet availability and low-cost printing of maps and other information at the library are another plus, as are nearby ATM cash machines, and a friendly pub.
With the money that I saved by staying at this budget accommodation, I was able to buy a beautiful hand-knitted Aran Crafts sweater, which also fulfilled a life-long yearning.
To be sure, this is not a luxury lodging, and some may wish for more amenities. But overall, I could not have been more pleased or well served. For all these reasons, I can unequivocally give this property a 5-star rating, and hope that you will enjoy your stay here as much as I did.
