Very friendly woman & fam run the place and have for yrs so always nice to support a small business. Very cozy, comfy room - small as expected from description. Just there one night but would have been happy there several nights. Easy walk into town to explore, go to pubs, restaurants, shops and very near the water. Very relaxing, short stay. One caveat if unfamiliar with the area, was much farther from airport/Belfast than I realized. Maybe 30 min by uber (easily gotten). Breakfast there very well regarded - I'd believe it but I missed it.
