- Tom & Cathy (8/5): Good stay, good value - The food is very good. Ate at the B&B lunch and dinner - our server was excellent. Beef stew, so good at lunch for one, the other ordered for dinner! Large menu gor breakfast. Has parking off street. We found parking on the street.
Walkable around town and castle. No AC, which is not unusual. Stayed late May 2026 temperature cooler than usual, but I got warm during night. Had fan on & window open.
- Sarah (9/5): -
- michael (10/5): Felt welcomed from the first minute we walked in - We were greeted by a very friendly staff
Food was good live music on the weekend! All was good!!
- Tuba (4/5): Leider nicht dass was wir erwartet haben - Personal sehr freundlich Das Thermostat der Heizung war kaputt, so dass wir die ganze Nacht eine Hitze im Zimmer hatten. Das abschalten ging laut Personal nicht, da wir nachgefragt hatten ob sie es bitte abschalten können.
Das Fenster war sehr klein zum Lüften. Es gab keine Möglichkeit zum abdunkeln vom Dachfenster
- Kate (8/5): -
- William (10/5): Nice rooms and good value in Blarney. - The rooms are spacious, modern and very clean. It was handy being above a pub if you wanted to grab a beer or dinner. Very generous breakfasts came with the room. The pub was busy afternoons and evenings, but I didn’t hear any noise the from my room. Can’t think of anything.
- Brian (9/5): -
- Adrian (10/5): - Everything , food. Staff excellent and the entire place spotless , highly recommended 👌
- Stacey (10/5): - Jerome and his staff are amazing. Nothing
- Frank (10/5): Friendly comfy hotel - excellent food - Reception by Grace from bar staff3- exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room comfortable and quiet. Food excellent.
- Teresa (5/5): - Good location. Nice restaurant and bar. Hard to carry heavy luggage up stairs. Beds were too soft and small.

- stephenenglishby (10/5): -
- Lara (10/5): Highly recommend this beautiful welcoming pub :) - The welcoming we recieved was amazing, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub itself was cosy with good food and live music! We stayed upstairs and the room was nice, the live music didn’t keep us up. The only recommendation would be to add a shower chair into the accessible walk-in shower. Whether that be upon request or a fold down shower chair attached to the wall.
- Nelly (10/5): Wonderful - Beautiful building, just cross street from the Castle, 2’ walk. Food at restaurant was excellent, also the cocktails. Breakfast was very good as well. There is a next door supermarket for last minute staff you might need. We had a lovely stay.
- Melissa (8/5): - Friendly staff and locals
- neil (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): - Very friendly staff Very helpful
- Bourgeois (8/5): - Location to Blarney Castle is excellent. Easy walk. Band late at night downstairs and road nose since we were in front room.
- Peter (8/5): - Schöne Atmosphäre im Haus, freundliche Mitarbeiter, tolles Frühstück Die Heizung konnte nicht ausgestellt werden, deshalb war es nachts zu warm im Zimmer, trotz geöffneter Fenster
- Michael (10/5): Nostalgisch - Prachtig. Het hotel lijkt op een grote cottage. Het is een vakwerkhuis en ligt vlak bij Blarney Castle, dat je te voet kunt bereiken. Het eten in het restaurant beneden is verrukkelijk. Inclusief ontbijt.
- Angela (10/5): - Great location and perfect for us to visit Blarney Castle and Gardens. Sandra was superb looking after us from the minute we arrived. Exceptionally helpful hints and tips to navigate the building and car park. Highly recommended.
- Donna (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay here. - Convenient location, large room, good bathroom, cleanliness and friendly staff. Street noise early in the morning
- Vignati (5/5): Great place if you avoid a holiday and room 11. - The staff were wonderful, hospitable, eager to please and helpful both in the pub, restaurant and management.
The location was perfect (walking distance) for our visit to the Blarney Castle and Stone. We did not realize May 1st is a National Holiday in Ireland, so our visit's timing was poor. Having said that, the pub was packed the night of our stay and our room 11 was the last one available and on the front side of the accommodations (i.e. right above the pub entrance and at street level). The room had only heat and no air conditioning but front windows that opened to a nice view but right above the above problems (street level, and at the pub entrance). So the noise level and level of heat in the room were distracting from an otherwise great stay. Our sleep was interrupted repeatedly by the music, and besotted drinkers as they left the pub around 12-12:30am. The gentleman who carried our big suitcases up to the 3rd floor was splendid and happy to help. A big plus for we 80+ year olds.

- Riccardo (10/5): Soggiorno in un pub, cosa chiedere di più? - La stanza si trova letteralmente sopra un pub, ne senso che si passa dal pub per il check-in e questo è per me un bonus. La stanza è comunque silenziosa, il pub serve da bere fino alle 23.30. Se si vuole rientrare più tardi dell'una si può chiedere una chiave per la porta esterna.
La camera è molto spaziosa e pulita.
La colazione si può fare al pub alla carta, ed è una comodità.
Il parcheggio per la notte si trova nel retro del pub appena poco distante, altra cosa comoda. Si possono scaricare i bagli davanti e poi andare a parcheggiare.
Il castello è molto vicino, oltre il parco pubblico, due minuti a piedi. Abbiamo avuto un problema con la televisione la prima sera ma l'hanno risolto il giorno seguente.
- Richard (10/5): Excellent one night stay - Close to castle and gardens food was good and breakfast good choices Nothing

- Ann (10/5): Absolutely brilliant, thank you Gary and your band of happy workers and Hilary you will be remember - Excellent…. The staff the ambience the overall attention from everyone made it such a pleasurable stay. The dinner menu and breakfast choices were really good and cooked very well. Should have stayed another night.

- Mike Gorman (6/5): Excellent authentic Irish pub. Check-in process & hotel staff availability needs improvement - The location...adjacent to the Blarney Castle. The pub environment and breakfast were excellent! Check-in process. There was no signage of where to go to check-in...we just had to ask around at the bar. Rooms are right above the pub, so the noise from the music and bar patrons was loud. No face cloths were available.
- Robin (7/5): Irish type stay with pub - Great location with breakfast Delicious breakfast
- Odhrán (10/5): - Very central and was kept clean! They serve a gorgeous breakfast too which helps!

- Alana (9/5): -
- brenda (10/5): We are coming back - Exactly what on thpught So good
- Stephen (10/5): -
- Sebastiano (10/5): - Posto molto accogliente sopra il pub.
Il nostro volo in ritardo ci ha fatto arrivare la sera oltre le 21 30.
Fatto il check in molto velocemente direttamente nel pub, la cucina era chiusa ma il titolare gentilissimo ci ha tenuto il tavolo al pub e fatto mangiare il cibo da asporto dentro.
Camere pulite accoglienti tutto perfetto. Se avete il sonno leggero le.camere.non sono molto insonorizzate.
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Kimberley (10/5): Exceptional - The location is unmatched with a short walk to Blarney castle and a supermarket and restaurants all in walking distance. There is a car park for customers too. The service was exceptional and super friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean tidy and quiet. The shower pressure was excellent and the room was spacious. Breakfast was delicious and I would certainly stay here again in a heartbeat! Couldn’t fault a single thing
