Thanks Fabiano.
Hardest part of Euro-vacation: arriving at 10am local time, and it's 4am your time, and you've been up all night watching movies, changing planes, and going thru customs. The host waived the 2pm checkin so l could have a shower and crash for a few hours. Bless his Brazilian-Irish heart.

Absolutely fantastic! Myself and two friends booked in for a night here and it was nothing but fantastic. Staff were amazing, rooms were spotless. Tv worked fine. We were surprised by the mugs and the supplies of teas and coffees. Room was perfect for all 3 of us. Toilet was a little noisy though after flushing but that was overlooked due to how immaculate everything else was. Locals were really friendly too. Made us feel right at home.

Nice peopled
We enjoyed our stay at Shipwright. The folks there were very helpful and suggested good places to eat and how to take a nice walk along a nearby beach. I wish I could remember her name, but she is from Poland, speaks good English and was very nice. We appreciate her help and the suggestions by the persn who seemed to be the manager.

A local experience
The hotel is run down and not especially clean, at least not from what one can tell with the dim lighting. The toilet emits a fog horn sound when flushed and the shower leaks. All those things would have been forgivable, however, we did not enjoy 3 hours of Elvis on the jukebox at night! I liked the location, it is away from the tourist crowd, yet walkable to the sights. There is a nice neighborhood pub across the street for supper and cafe next to it for an Irish breakfast, complete with Irish workman eating their breakfast.

The bathroom lock was partially disassembled and came off when I tried to unlock the door, trapping me inside -- I was fortunate to have my phone. After a few days, sewage smells came out from the shower drain and persisted. Windows felt awkwardly low and couldn't be locked in a partly-open position, leading to security issues. Bed was comfortable, and staff was usually available to resolve issues.

Reception is an off licence. Owner is a domineering chauvanistic pig, ignorant to staff, invading privacy, too much of a dictator to them, yet blames them for issues. Tv in bedroom wasn't working, he didn't care. Room to small, very claustrophobic, unable to sleep, awakened at 2am. The worst guesthouse we have ever stayed in. A rubbish place. A terrible kip
