Guest Reviews
- Niall (10/5): Comfortable and friendly - Very handy for the town centre and Rianne and Gerry were very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast too.
- André Ledermann (9/5): - Es war toll.
Rianne hat uns sehr gute Informationen zum Aufenthalt in Baltimore gegeben.
Das Frühstück war sooo lecker.
- mark (8/5): -
- Eneko (9/5): - La anfitriona muy simpática y servicial. El desayuno exquisito y abundante. Una renovacion de la ducha no vendria mal.
- Siobhan (10/5): - Lovely b and b. Rianne and Jerry are great hosts. My room was really comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, including Rianne's homemade bread and yoghurt. Rianne was full of interesting information about the local area too. The Stone House is within walking distance of Baltimore. Would definitely stay again. Nothing
- Ferenc (10/5): - Késői érkezèsünk ellenére, kedves fogadtatàs. A szállàsadó hölgy, nagyon kedves és segítőkész. A reggeli nagyon finom és friss. Az elhelyezkedés tökèletes, könnyen megközelíthető. A szoba fürdőszobával pár napra tökéletes.
- Peter (10/5): -
- Johanna (9/5): Super gastvrij en welkom, ideaal voor een weekend Baltimore - Geweldige gastvrouw, superfijn ontvangen. Heel mooie locatie, vlakbij het centrum en een ideale uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen. Het ontbijt aan de lange eettafel was zeker in orde, heel verzorgd, veel keuze qua opties en gezellig om ook je medegasten te leren kennen. Het bed was wat aan de smalle kant, maar wij zijn dan ook twee grote (en iets bredere) mensen die veel ruimte gewoon zijn.
- Janine (8/5): -
- G Juyn (9/5): - What's not to like. It felt like home away from home. Rianne made sure we were very comfortable, well informed (do go eat at Jacobs Inn!), and she makes a killer breakfast. She has all the information you'll need in the area. Ferries, eating out, boat trips, you name it
It was a most enjoyable stay for us. Highly recommended.
- Teresa (1/5): - We saw the property and didn't stay due to mildew. The window over one of the beds had a curtain that was black with mildew. The shower floor had a rim of black. The room felt extremely damp and cold. Although our host was most friendly when we arrived she didn't address our concerns and why we couldn't stay. She hasn't compensated us despite our reasons for not being able to stay. We were upset by the experience.
- Stephen (10/5): Everything I wanted.
Everything I needed. - My stay was everything I needed
My host "Rianne: made me feel very much at home.
I loved the homemade breads and jams.
The breakfast was fresh and delicious and set me up for a big day travelling.
The bedroom was super well fitted out and comfortable
Highly recommended. Nothing.
Everything was very good

- Sabine (9/5): Zeer aangenaam verblijf waar je met heel veel info op uitstap vertrekt. - Super gastheer en gastvrouw met veel kennis en tips. We hadden beter wat meer overnachtingen geboekt… Onze kamer was een beetje gedateerd, maar dat is een detail want we hebben prima geslapen.
- Barbara (10/5): Perfect place for a short break - Location, helpful host, comfortable room Nothing, everything was great
- Emilie (10/5): Very comfortable, ideal location, fantastic breakfast and the nicest host ;) - The house is beautiful and in a quiet area, very close to the pier. The room was lovely, the bed very comfortable. Room and bathroom spotless clean. The breakfast was fantastic with a great choice of options, fresh and delicious homemade bread, yogurts, jams... The cake and the bathrobe in the bedroom were a really nice touch. Rianne is adorable and very helpful. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much.
- Noémie (10/5): - Accuei et convivialité l de Rianne, petit déjeuner très copieux, emplacement Rien
- Hanni (9/5): Die Besitzerin gibt sich sehr Mühe. Die Aussicht in den Garten vom Frühstücksraum ist sehr schön. Da - Die Besitzerin war sehr freundlich. Das Morgenessen mit allen an einem grossen Tisch war sehr persönlich und gut. Die Tipps der Besitzerin waren sehr hilfreich. Das Waschen unserer Wäsche hat leider nicht geklappt. Der Hafenmeister war nicht aufzufinden.

- Ganius (10/5): Great host, great location, definitely recommended - We stayed for two nights in the family room. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very delicious; everything was fresh and home-made. The property is at the center of the town; 5 minutes walk to the ferries. Rianne is an amazing host. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time in Baltimore. Nothing that we didn't like.
- JEAN PASCAL (9/5): -
- Andreina (10/5): Che gentilezza! - Che dire, una esperienza fantastica. La proprietaria di casa di una gentilezza sconcertante, ci ha aspettate e guidate in camera per le istruzioni. Aveva preparato anche un dolcetto di benvenuto buonissimo. Posizione centrale, per accedere ai ristoranti si deve fare una salitina ( in base alla direzione in andata o ritorno). Il bagno con la finestra, molto raro! Doccia piccola ma efficiente, Parcheggio nel cortile molto comodo. La colazione è stata eccezionale, tutto fatto in casa, marmellate davvero strepitose. Insomma una sensazione di famiglia perchè si fa colazione nel salone di casa , veramente accogliente. niente
- Rosa (10/5): - La amabilidad de la dueña.
El desayuno, todo casero y recién hecho.
Nos dejaron dulces caseros cada día en la habitación, además de agua.
Hay disponible café y té todo el día.
Todo muy limpio.
- Patrick (9/5): - Rianne est vraiment une hôtesse formidable,très accueillante, dynamique, donne de bons conseils .
Petits déjeuners parfaits, complets ( avec pains et confitures maison ) et de bonnes pâtisseries dans la journée. Rien
- Loren (10/5): - Superb!
- Deborah (10/5): A B&B that understands the meaning of hospitality. - The Stone House is a lovely B&B, situated a few minutes from the fantastic restaurants in Baltimore and the pier where you can catch a ferry to visit the islands.
The owner went over and above with hospitality.
Having stayed in many hotels I have grown tired of buffets. Eating at the Stone House was a delight. The food served each day was of a very high standard and the provision of a cake to have with tea or coffee was very appreciated. The fresh homemade bread and yogurt made the delicious breakfast special.
The owner took time to chat with everyone and offered tips and advice.
In today’s world information is easily found but getting a locals insight into trails around the area and what to order at the restaurant is always appreciated. I also went on a sea trip with the owners husband. Sadly the whales stayed away but the views were fantastic.
- Fran (7/5): Great place to stay - Rhianna was lovely. Very chatty with extensive local knowledge. Very helpful with planning day trips. Lots of breakfast options Host and food

- Ashley (10/5): Relaxing, good food, great welcome and service, and will definitely return. - Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the front garden, and the private shower was nice. The breakfast is exactly what’s needed for a long day’s hike around Baltimore or the islands. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

- Ethel (10/5): -
- Brendan (9/5): A great place to stay and very welcoming - The location was great for visiting Sherkin Island, Cape Clear and Fastnet. The breakfast, with its fresh homemade bread and local produce, was delicious. The homemade snack on arrival was a welcome touch, as were the coffee and tea making facilities.
- Deirbhile (10/5): Wonderful stay, just a stones throw from Baltimore harbour! - Central, clean, comfortable accommodation. Hospitable host & the most wonderful breakfast & homemade bakes. Thank you Rianne for a lovely stay. We will most definitely be back! Nothing to dislike. Everything was great!
- Frank (9/5): Wir würden beim nächsten Irland-Urlaub wiederkommen. - Rianne ist eine phantastische Gastgeberin, hat sich viel Zeit genommen und uns mit vielen guten Tipps versorgt.
Die Whalewatching-Tour war ok, leider "nur" Delphine gesehen ;-)
Ein nettes B&B mit allem, was man braucht und einem sehr gutem Frühstück mit großer Auswahl.
- Aisling (9/5): -
- Lucie Tae (9/5): For everyone who would like to have a great get-away from the hustle and bustle. - Wonderful experience in Baltimore, overall 10/10. Our host Rianne has been great, enthusiastic about her home and what to explore, and the B&B thriving and beautifully embedded in Baltimore. We had a lovely time, and even when travelling with a toddler can be slightly stressful at times, we enjoyed all recommendations, and especially the thoughtful breakfast Rianne prepared. Would send anyone who asks for recommendations to her :) Nothing to report.
- Trevor (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Aisling (8/5): - Rianne was the most wonderful host, a lovely clean warm and comfortable stay
The home baked cake was the loveliest touch and breakfast in the morning was delicious A tv in the room would have been lovely but there's nothing I didn't like
- Arjun (10/5): -
- morgane (10/5): Un B&B à retenir absolument ! - Super B&B. Rianne est très prévenante et gentille. La chambre est très confortable. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment délicieux. Je recommande vivement, vous serez très bien accueillis, tout a été réfléchi. RAS

- Phil (9/5): Comfortable and had a homely vibe. - Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice and all well prepared with local produce and home made.
Host Rianne was extremely friendly and was most helpful in suggesting places we should visit. The room we had was a little small. Because we are away for over 6 weeks we are carrying quite a bit of luggage. The room was too small to accommodate our luggage and ourselves.
- Guest (9/5): Great place, great staff . - Was not very well when I arrived but was very well looked after.
- DONATELLA (8/5): -
- leo (9/5): Exceptionnel - Tout était parfait : le petit déjeuner, l'endroit, le personnel, les équipements, les activités..
- Paul (9/5): -
- Nicolas (9/5): Très bien - Très bon logement, propre et confortable. Tout l'équipement nécessaire à votre disposition. Excellent petit-déjeuner au choix sur la carte en plus des fruits,yaourt frais et céréales. Situé à proximité du centre et en même temps au calme. Madame Rianne est très serviable. Monsieur aurait pu être un peu plus serviable et accueillant. Idem pour l'excursion en bateau. Il a passé la majeure partie de son temps sur son gsm au lieu de s'occuper des clients et de chercher les animaux.
- Lisardo (10/5): -
- Kieran (10/5): A wonderful stay in Baltimore - From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well looked after. It was the perfect base to explore the area.
Rianne, our host, was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. She has great knowledge of the area and full of recommendations. The thoughtful touches and warm hospitality made us feel at home.
Breakfast each morning, with homemade breads and jams, was delicious and set us up nicely for the day ahead.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, welcoming place to stay in beautiful West Cork. Nothing

- Cliona (9/5): -
- Sylvia (10/5): Grandioser Aufenthalt - Das war bis dato einer meiner besten Aufenthalte in Irland. Rianne ist eine echte Perle. Sie ist herzlich und überhäuft einen mit Tipps für Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung und bezieht dabei das Wetter und die individuellen Bedürfnisse ihrer Gäste mit ein. Man kann von ihr auch sehr gute Restauranttipps bekommen. Die Frühstück war großartig. Sie backt das Brot selbst und auch der Joghurt und die Marmeladen waren selbstgemacht. Selbstverständlich bekommt man auch Pancakes, Eier und Lachs oder ein echtes irisches Frühstück, mit allem, was dazu gehört. Sie erfragt ebenfalls Allergien und richtet sich darauf ein. Ich bin wirklich schon sehr viel gereist, habe aber noch nie jemanden getroffen, der mit so viel Herzblut dabei ist.
- Aven (9/5): - Breakfast was a dream, never had anything like it! I regret leaving the homemade breads and jams behind at the end of our visit. Owner is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and goes above and beyond out of a clear love for her job. My partner and I are deeply looking forward to our next stay!
- Carol (10/5): Perfect!! - Our experience was faultless with Rianne and Jerry at the Stonehouse b&b. They were the most generous of hosts, who beyond what would be expected! Absolutely beautiful breakfasts and snacks left in our room. Nothing was too much trouble. A delightful time!! Xx
- Abbie (10/5): Great host and amazing breakfast - Great host and a amazing breakfast. Close to restaurants and lovely walks! Thanks for a perfect stay!
- Karen (9/5): We spent a weekend in Baltimore - we were there to have dinner at De De. We stayed at Stone House which is walkable from - We really enjoyed our stay at the Stone House. Rianne looked after us so well! Highly recommended.

- Steven (10/5): Stone House - The owner was very welcoming and informative about the location. Prime location within easy walking of the amenities in the area.
- Chantal W (8/5): Gastvrij met behulpzame gastvrouw. - Rianne, een Brabantse warme vrouw die allerlei tips en tricks met ons deelde. Het bed was iets aan de kleine kant.
