Aurora House Bed And Breakfast

Really liked this B&B. The hosts were great - cheery, chatty and informative. The breakfast was top-notch with a lovely presentation making it a pleasure to relax and chat with other guests (Electric Picnic was on, great conversations). The house and garden are both very well looked after and we were fed with their own produce where possible. Highly recommended, it's about 16km from EP. if you've already bought your 2026 tickets! For dinner,we walked the 600m on a lovely quiet road to the Clanard Court Hotel for a really superb meal at a very reasonable price. We were there, not for EP but to cycle the Barrow River and Royal Canal. We rented bikes in Vicarstown at the Vicarstown Cafe (great service, very good bikes and a nice little café too!). Our advice is to cycle towards Monasterevin as the surface in that direction is superb. We cycled both and the route in the other direction (Carlow) is fine for the first 11km to Athy. From Athy, the surface is grass which might be fun but we got tired of it after 6km and moved to the adjacent road to Carlow - not too busy. After food in Carlow, we returned to Athy on a really nice back road, R429, via Knockbeg, - lovely, quiet, almost carless route.

We had an amazing stay Host Theresa was so helpful gave us an excellent freshly cooked very tasty breakfast Room was very comfortable clean thank you from Mary & John

The breakfast food was freshly cooked. Bed comfortable. It did what it said on the TIN Bed & Breakfast !!!!!!!

No refreshment facilities in bed room Had to go looking for it. No sitting room Had to request night cup of tea There was no menu so didnt know what breakfast choice was on offer. Toilet in ensuite needs proper cleaning. Bleach & toilet brush down duct. Would do the job. It was a bit brownish.

Well situated, comfortable, lovely breakfast, excellent host
