"Stunning views, lovely host and breakfast, quaint, quirky and very cosy and comfortable."

9.0

Stunning location just out of town on big grounds. Quite old and quaint with a lovely friendly host very responsive to requests and helpful. Host even got up early to make us breakfast. We actually had a wild deer in the garden!

It is across the bridge over the other side of the lake and town, but the views are lovely. We chose it as we had a car and parking was convenient and secure.

Such a lovely stay. Hannah makes you feel so at home and welcome, like you are family. Such a good contrast to staying in a generic hotel.

"Comfortable stay with friendly hosts."

9.0

lovely property with a great view. A good breakfast, lovely room, great toiletries and friendly staff.

Even though we knew it was a bit of a walk into town it felt further when the rain pelted down. Personally I prefer being able to see the cereals, fruit and yogurt and dishing that up myself. The cooked breakfast was delicious.

"A beautiful charming comfortable friendly place to stay"

10.0

Absolutely magnificent house and welcoming family. Superbly preserved history throughout yet we still had high speed strong wifi. The grounds were stunning and it felt very rural with deer at night eating fallen apples. The location and views are second to none. Hannah and Nina were perfect hosts going out of their way to make our stay really lovely. The breakfast was beautiful with a large range of delicious options, excellent irish bread and brack, fresh fruit, smoked salon, scrambled eggs and much more. A perfect stay and we plan to come here again, Thank you!

That we couldn't stay longer :)

"Wonderful hostesses and comfy home-like B&B - wish we could stay longer."

10.0

Best place we’ve stayed on our trip yet. Hannah, her daughter, Nina, and her granddaughter are the sweetest hosts - we felt so welcome and when we left, it felt like I was saying goodbye to my own Grandmother. The breakfast was delicious with Hannah’s homemade bread and jam. She doted on us and ensured we were comfortable. Her grandson Luca wrote out the history of the home (see attached photos). The home is decorated with historical timepieces but all the modern amenities were available. A large shower and separate shower- plenty of hot water as I had my first bubble bath on this trip. Big windows and the ability to open were a treat. Well loved furniture in the living room with a large TV if you care to tune into a show. The bed was firm but comfortable, a short walk into town but enough distance to be a quiet relaxing space (leaving your windows open at night without the blaring noise of the roadway). There was another couple staying (clearly in another wing) and we didn’t even know it until we met them at breakfast. There is such a spacious location. A sweet treat was the tiny black kitten that welcomed us outside - perhaps a neighbour’s cat, we didn’t see her again but she was a sweet welcoming party when we arrived.

Not related to the property - We couldn’t source an uber to head into the pub to the night.

"Lovely host and home, but everything needed a fresh update."

6.0

Our host was lovely.

Beautiful home but it appears that it hasn’t been updated since the Bed and Breakfast began. Our bedroom door did not lock the first night although the situation was taken care of by the second night. The lamps at the bedside did not work. The mattress also felt like it was original to the start of the business.
