I had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B with Sinead and Shane as my hosts. The room was spacious and comfortable, just a short walk from Bunratty Castle, making it a great spot for sightseeing. The breakfast was fantastic, featuring high-quality ingredients and a variety of options. My only minor complaint would be the limited parking space, but it didn't detract from the overall great experience.
