Fodor's Review:

You never know who you'll share your breakfast with at this inn's large polished dining table -- famous authors and royal representatives have had their morning coffee here. Gaelic for "house of welcome," Tighnafeile (tyne-a-faylee) was built in 1911. The rooms exude warmth with their choice antiques, navy fleur-de-lis carpet, and honey-colored timbered fireplaces (mostly for show). The house, which has a large garden, is almost opposite the Aigantighe Art Gallery.
