The Haffner family have been at this delightful place for over 25 years, and the complex - which began as a holiday hostel and is now styled ‘country house’ - has been extensively upgraded.

Now, in addition to self-catering accommodation with character and the popular restaurant and wine bar, all of their guest rooms are en-suite.

Although not a country house in the conventional sense, it certainly has a great deal to offer, including a lovely garden terrace with a sea view, which is available for fine weather.

The café is open during the day and serves an à la carte lunch, with a more extensive dinner menu offered in the Restaurant ‘Café Art’, which has a dedicated local following and delights visitors with its great food and atmosphere.

Euro-Toques chef-owner Johannes Haffner uses as much home-grown, organic and local produce as possible - and, refreshingly, alongside popular specialities like loin of Slaney Valley lamb and free range supreme of chicken, his wide-ranging menus include quite a few classics and retro dishes (beef stroganoff made with vodka is a speciality), and all baked goods and desserts are home-made.

A well-chosen wine list includes a range of champagne cocktails and aperitifs, and many treats among the main listing including an unusually good choice of half bottles - and many wines not listed are available by the glass in the Wine Bar.

Accommodation: Rooms 14 (all en-suite, all shower only, all no smoking); children welcome (cot available free of charge); B&B €40-50 pps; ss €10-20. Pets permitted by arrangement; garden; walking. Restaurant: Seats 60 (also outdoor 40). Toilets wheelchair accessible. B 8.30-11, L 12-2.30, D 6-9.30 (to 9 off-season). A la carte. House wine from €20. Open all week. Reservations advised.
