The accomodation was perfect, large enough for all to have space and children to enjoy themselves. I would certainly recommend this to friends and family and as it looks like I will be returning for a other run around the island in next year's Ring of Fire race... We will be looking to book this again.

We enjoyed the close by walks and local village for drinks. Rooms were comfortable however the only downside was no blinds in the bedrooms, most mornings woke up around sunrise and couldn't get back to sleep. All in all, a very enjoyable break and would definitely return to Minerva again.
