• Jennifer (9/5): The perfect place to relax — full of character, warm, welcoming, and peaceful - The property had a very homely and welcoming feel, with lovely art and craft pieces that added a personal touch. The furniture was tasteful and complemented the cosy atmosphere. It was a very relaxing space overall, and the bedroom itself was a good size—comfortable and well laid out. The house was surrounded by a beautiful, spacious garden, which was especially lovely to sit in during the evening. You could hear the cows lowing in the distance, adding to the peaceful, rural charm. I’d definitely revisit in future, lovely host who was very attentive and engaging, highly recommend. No issues

We can’t thank you enough Vanessa & Rory

• Aileen (10/5): Exceptional -
• lsinnott (10/5): Do Not Miss a Chance To Stay Here - I hate to tell the rest of the world about this wonderful B&B Hotel. But Jo deserves to have her praises sung. We were greeted 1st by the loveliest dog who met us at the car and led us to Reception. Jo was so welcoming and helpful,even suggesting to change our room when she saw the stairs would be difficult. The rooms are spotless and roomy. Our beds, 2 queen beds, were super comfy with lots of pillows. The shower, instant hot water type, was wonderful with excellent water pressure. But the breakfast!!!!! Oh my! Cereals home made breads, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. It was all delicious. She even had gotten in Gluten-free bread and almond milk because of my allergies. We can't say enough good things about our stay and Jo. The only bad thing is that we don't know when we can get back for another stay. If you are anywhere near Gorey, this is THE best place to spend the night. 12/10
• 589shazq (10/5): Amazing Stay - If you are looking for an amazing stay experience with perfect location walking distance from the restaurants & shops look no further!The Railway house B&B,Jo & Jim friendliness, professionalism and helpfulness were truly exceptional.Delicious breakfasts was made up with lovely homemade jam's & bread, scrambled eggs & salmon,Gronola bowls was my favorite. Highly recommended stay. You will definitely not go wrong. Sharon & Pat
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leanne (8/5): Comfortable stay - Clean, comfortable beds, spacious room, owner able to recommend local restaurants But further out of Gorey than I would have liked
• Stephen (4/5): Very disappointing. Not luxury as advertised. Owner challenged and would not accept our feedback. - Nice house, nice grounds and nice dogs, ample parking, very clean. Location was good (car / taxi defo needed ). The interior bedrooms looked a lot better than the one we got. The bedroom was large but furnishings very basic and not luxury as advertised. Also, the room was detached from the main dwelling and had another room with wooden flooring above and the tenant above woke us at about 11.30pm, 4am and 7.30 am walking around. Unacceptable as impossible to properly sleep. View from the room shocking. See photos . Breakfast was disappointing and no Full Irish Breakfast offered. Owner not receptive to feedback and did not seem to understand or accept that we had a terrible nights sleep, or frankly non-sleep. The photos show the view from the bedroom. Other basics like no towel hooks in bathroom, no tray for soap/ shampoo in shower …again not luxury - but basic.
• Tom (9/5): Excellent - Warm reception Clean and comfortable
• THERESA (10/5): - Beautiful property. would definitely recommend and stay again. The owners were very accommodating.

Everything was lovely 🙃 Would highly recommend Railway Country House 👌

• Danny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (10/5): The best B&B in Gorey. Very comfortable at a fair price. - A beautiful country house in its own grounds. A very warm welcome by the team and super helpful. I loved the breakfast!
• Sharon (10/5): The owners Jo and Jim are amazing and made us feel very welcome and at home. - We liked that the property was set back from the main road in its own grounds. It was very peaceful and was well placed to visit other places in the area.
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
• S4870KFsuzannew (2/5): Disgraceful experience - never book here - Don't ever go to this place. They are the rudest people I have ever met in my life. I booked to stay on 17th July and had confirmed on the 11th July. When we got there after ringing the doorbell for 15 minutes with my 88 year old mother sitting on the step I finally called Jo on the phone to be told she was in Dublin at a hospital appointment with her son and that her husband had gone for a walk and should be back soon. When I asked her was she not expecting us she told me that she could not be all things to everybody and that I wasn't staying with her and to go and find somehwere else to stay. When her husband arrived back as we were trying to get all our stuff back into the car again, he was just as rude as her. Horrible people don't ever book to stay there.
• Anita (10/5): This experience should be how one should always feel, as humans we don’t say if our expectations are not met or we think - Everything, I drove through a railway bridge hence the name into a beautiful driveway reception area then up a beautiful driveway with the greenest lawn a cool little lawn mowing machine busy doing his thing,clear signage showing me where to park. I park and this lovely gentleman appears to help me with my luggage. He greats me and insists on taking my bags to my room. I’m upstairs in a large beautifully decorated room. I open up my bags get out what in need and scamper outside. The garden is large lovely outdoor area to sit. A sweet elderly dog who looks at me as if to say you can pat me. I sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. This place is perfect.
• Paddy (10/5): - Friendly staff, upgraded our room at no extra cost on arrival as a bigger one had come available. Everyone was friendly and chatty. The town is a 10 minute walk or taxis were available minutes after calling. Would definitely stay again.
• Tracy (10/5): - Great trip to Co. Wexford, lovely stay again!
• Noelle (10/5): Exceptional - We were shocked at how big the premises are. With fabulous drive and gardens. We had a lovely labrador meet us in the car park. Joe and her husband (the slave), as she calls him 😂 were just so welcoming and so friendly. We stayed in the superior room.. omg it was amazing..we, we can't wait to go back. We loved every part of our stay
• Char (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy, comfortable and lovely accommodation totally recommended , delicious breakfast too N/A
• Helen (10/5): Fab time here - Lovely time here. Beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds surrounding it. Ran by a lovely friendly couple . Nothing was a bother for them.
• MaureenE374 (8/5): Quiet setting in Gory - Beautiful home and well manicured garden. 2 lovely dogs make up the "welcoming committee" when you arrive. Our double room was very small & squashed & needs some attention, think it was the smallest backroom in the B&B. Maybe others were better? Fresh nice breakfast.
• Joel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gertrude (10/5): Excellent - Situation Breakfast could have been better.
• LAWRENCE (8/5): - Great Hosts. Room was inadequate.
• Laura (10/5): - Very cute place. Friendly folks.
• Christian (10/5): I would recommend anyone visiting Gorey stay here. - Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. My wife and I were going to get a taxi into Gorey town instead our host personally gave us a lift. Great value too Could not fault our stay.
