Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the easy parking and find the location convenient for trips to Waterford and nearby attractions. The freshly cooked Irish breakfast is a highlight, with some specifically praising the scrambled eggs. The rooms are generally considered spacious, and the availability of a kitchenette and the use of a fridge are frequently mentioned as pluses, though some guests have noted that the shower facilities could use some updating. A nice local pub, "The Miler Pub", is just a short walk away.
