• Noreen (10/5): Our stay at the cottage and the B&B was exceptional - We loved the cottage. Mary was an absolute star in every way. We spent our last night in the B&B as I got my dates wrong and I was glad I did as the breakfast was amazing.

• Andrew (10/5): - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ballindrum Farm. My room was clean, nicely decorated, and had a beautiful view. Mary (the owner) was very welcoming and even drove me to town because I didn't have a car. To top it off, guests are allowed to watch the cows being milked every day from a viewing gallery (yes, Ballindrum is also a working dairy farm). I highly recommend it.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - We vacationed in Ireland for 10 days, and of all the b & b's we stayed at, this was our favorite. Mary was a sweet and welcoming host. We got to walk around their farm and watch the cows being milked. There was a large selection for breakfast with homemade baked goods and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Many places claimed to have homemade baked goods, but this was the real thing. I highly recommend Ballindrum Farm.
• Ann (10/5): Exceptional - We had a really lovely stay. The location was so quiet & peaceful but yet well connected to motorways etc. Very comfortable room with a big shower room. Breakfast was fantastic with a wonderful choice of fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts & home baked breads & scones, cheese & jams along with an extensive cooked breakfast menu which was delicious. Mary was very helpful & made us feel welcome. We will be back! Nothing at all to dislike. A great place to stay.
• Wolfgang (9/5): Excellent B&B in a very quiet location. Sight of cows, rabbits and chickens included. - Our host Mary was perfectly organized. We enjoyed the calm, and the breakfast with the specific choice of hot dishes.
• Loretta (10/5): First stop on holiday in Ireland. If rest of b and b's are half as good I will be happy. - Mary was very welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was excellent. Location was a bit isolated but not a problem with a car. Nothing.
• Marcus (10/5): Feels like home! - Nice rural location and great scones! -
• Deirdre (10/5): - Lovely peaceful setting
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leigh (10/5): Exceptional - We were a family of 8 adults and 5 children aged 11 9 6 5 and 2. The farm was great for children there was a room with toys and games that suited all ages which was a bonus to keep them amused. Breakfast was amazing and Mary couldn't do enough for us. She went above and beyond. The kids were disappointed that they didn't get to see any animals as we had thought with it being a working farm there would be cows, sheep etc.. and we didn't see any.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): Very nice home to stay in and Mary is an exceptional person to stay with. Highly recommend it. - When we arrived Mary offered us tea and coffee with home made scones. Her home is very welcoming. Nothing is no bother to her. Very very helpful person. Her home is very clean and tidy with good shower facilities. She is very accomodating with breakfast times and when we were leaving she printed us out a route planner for our next destination. The range of food she supplies for breakfast was excellent and you would definitely not leave her home hungry. She can cater for people with gluten free allergies as well. All in all it was an excellent house to stay in. I will call again. Its just like home from home.
