The Waters Country House
We happened to find this gem and we will definitely be back. We were only there for one night, which was definitely not long enough. Gorgeous views, cozy rooms and delicious breakfast!

The Galmount hotel is fab. The spa is something else. Staff so lovely. Super brekkie. Excellent food in bar and restaurant. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Couldn’t get better location. Staff so accommodating too. Can’t fault it.
