We had an excellent dinner at Valley House. Afterward we sat in the sitting room to listen to the Irish music being played in the pub. The manager engaged us in conversation about places to hike on the island that were within our capabilities.

Just had a four night stay, such a comfortable, friendly, fantastic place to stay. We loved it from the minute we arrived. So relaxed, staff super friendly and a great little bar with wonderful entertainment. Definitely had the best pint of Guinness ever. Well done to all the staff doing such a great job. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommend.

Had a most comfortable and happy stay at the Valley House. The occasion - my daughter's 40th. We stayed in the main house, a gem of Victorian times which wears its great age with grace. We were warmly greeted by our host who wasn't a bit perturbed that we wanted to hit the bar for a breather after a long journey from Dublin before we went to our rooms. The bar in the Valley House is special. A turf fire and very friendly barman helped us down from the 5 hours drive. (We stopped for lunch. Our rooms were fine, adequate for our needs. The Valley House is special. It's not the first time I have been there but the first time I have stayed. The house, being gently ushered into the 21st century, by Pat and Alice, is a small treasure. It has some very fine features,.large reception rooms, huge fireplaces and some original flooring. It's like no other 'hostel' I have ever known. We had a ball. I think it's safe to say we all had a ball. Great place for a party. Warm and welcoming hosts, lovely bar staff, great music sessions, and yes .. there's a fairy trail in the ground. We didn't venture this time. Next time

Very friendly place for a drink, but I can't recommend staying here if you need darkness to sleep. Room has a window to the hall light and a bright green light from the smoke alarm. Shower doesn't drain, so is dirty and overflowing. Could be a great place to stay, but I was unable to sleep with all the lights.
