It’s about a 10 minute drive from the airport. We paid for an extra night to ensure we could go straight to the B&B and get into our room.

I couldn’t stay for the cooked breakfast, but the cold offerings and toast and tea were great
I’ll be sure to book there again, perhaps making it my home base.
- Eoghan (10/5): - This is one of the nicest spots you could possibly stay. The owner Joe is onsite and just about the most welcoming person you can imagine. He’s cooking breakfast every morning and sat down with me for an hour helping to map out the best route for my family’s travels around western Ireland. The rooms are great. We had the family suite which was perfect with a separate bedroom and bathroom for my daughter. Bunratty is great little town to base a trip around western Ireland from. Especially as first time travelers there no place could have been better to stay at than here.

- Jesica (10/5): 10 out of 10!!! - This B&B was one of our favorite stays during our whole week in Ireland! I wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Joe was an absolutely fantastic host. We arrived a little later than expected and he was very kind and inviting! The next morning he cooked us a lovely made to order breakfast (oats with cinnamon & honey and a pick and choose Irish breakfast). He was very hospitable and told us all about the property. There were three of us so we got the family room which is two adjoining rooms with 2 twins and one queen and two bathrooms. It was very spacious and we loved having separate rooms / bathrooms. It was also a very short walk to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park and Durty Nelly's, which are both also highly recommended. Overall we really really enjoyed our stay here. Absolutely nothing negative to say! If we ever find ourselves back in Bunratty, we would absolutely stay here again!
