Windway House

The inn-keeper is a very congenial host. This is a guest house, and not a hotel. Do not expect staff on site. The rooms are very comfortable, quiet, and clean. The location is but a small walk from the tourist center. The inn has a nice communal dining area with fridge (and freezer), microwave. And the common rooms are very elegant. I am returning and am very pleased with my bookings.

First of all, there's no way this place deserves a 4 star rating. The rooms are small and the bathroom tinier. You have to work your way past the little sink to use the toilet but that's not what really set me off and motivated me to write this review. When we arrived, Frank greeted us and showed us to the room. It wasn't great but I figured that's what you get from a little guest house. Then he showed us a clear reuseable bottle with a stopper in it and said...'this is your drinking water'. My ears perked up and I asked if we could drink the tap water and he said no because it was water from the house reservoir. But he assured us it was fine for showers and tooth brushing and hand washing. Umm...no it's not. And the bottles of water were unacceptable, too. I wonder if they do health inspections in Ireland like they do in the states. This would not pass. Anyway, we stayed for the two nights. BTW, Frank has a 3 hour check-in window, 4 to 7. We made it but only by about 20 minutes. Our bus from Limerick was late which pushed back another activity we had planned and paid for. Sorry, Frank. You're a good guy but I can't recommend your B&B without some serious upgrades.

We are the pleasure of staying in Windway House for two nights. The hosts Frank& Mary couldn’t be more hospitable and welcoming. It fitted our every need. It’s a comfortable home away from home. We look forward to making a return visit.

Located on a quiet school street approx 10 mins walk from the centre of town, Frank was very welcoming when we arrived and when we saw him in the corridor. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was snug but workable! Access offered to microwave, fridge etc but we didn’t use these. Good if you were wanting to have your breakfast there (breakfast not provided). Would recommend Frank’s place.
