Anvershiel House

The good bits: - Adequate off road car parking Comfy bed Large room The less good bits:- No hot water for a shower in the morning, not even lukewarm - unforgiveable for a B&B not to have hot water Poor food hygiene - opened milk came out like runny yoghurt, food hygiene and quality control is the responsibility of Anvershiel House, not the guests. I replied to their invitation to write a review and mentioned the hot water and that I expected a partial refund.......nothing. As others have said, it's a glorified student hostel.

I booked this B&B because of the reviews. It seemed to be a quintessential Irish bed and breakfast. Not the case. They must have made recent changes. Pros: *Comfortable bed *Queen bed room was big *Nice furnishings and decor *Walking distance to the beach Cons: *Room smelled of smoke *My father's room felt like it was 85 degrees Fahrenheit upon arrival; had to problem solve ourselves because no one works on site. *No interaction with the hosts *The breakfast was grab and go items. One reviewer mentioned omelets. No, that's not the case. I visited Ireland in 2016 with my husband, and one of the best parts of the trip were the B&Bs. Yes, the attractions are fun, but it's places like these that define the Irish experience for travelers. I typically don't leave negative reviews, but I work hard for my money. We won't be back.

Spacious room and very clean. Our host gave us any information regarding the area we needed. Breakfast was lovely with a few different choices to standard breakfast. The omelettes were amazing and compliments to "The Omelette Lady" in the kitchen. All the staff were friendly and the house also has on site parking. A little further from the centre than we thought but a pleasant walk or taxis are reasonable.
