“The Narrows occupies a prime spot overlooking the lough, with many rooms taking full advantage of the views. I appreciated the little extras like the in-room fridge, alongside consistently comfortable beds and the superb breakfasts. While a bathroom upgrade wouldn't go amiss, the overall value, coupled with the genuinely warm service, makes it a winner.”
