This is a super cute bed and breakfast. We stayed in the outer building in a family room. It was absolutely beautiful with a little balcony overlooking the cutest little garden. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. My only complaints were the Wi-Fi did not work great in the outer building and there was zero pressure in the shower head but we just took a bath instead and that was great.

There wasn’t much we liked about it. The welcome was lukewarm. The pictures are not a bit accurate; sooo outdated and the “gardens” have not been looked after for decades it seems. The shower was a trickle of lukewarm water. The food was not great. The so-called bar was not a welcoming gathering area. We were excited to leave.

John and his staff were excellent. We got just a wee bit of the story of how he’d been the owner for the past four decades. The place is charming to the hilt. Breakfast was wonderful and the staff fun and engaging as well. The area out front of the manor house is gorgeous. You are in the heart of the Irish countryside with sheep bleating in the distance. The drive from the road up to the house is charming too. A few cobwebs here and there and some big spiders are natural in a place that was built as long ago, and the gardens- while beautiful- are being seen about a bit slowly. That said, we absolutely loved our stay and greatly appreciated the hospitality. I don’t think it could be beat, and I’d highly recommend staying here. Great for couples and small families.

Quaint getaway
This charming B&B was an overnight stay but I wished I could have stayed longer. Everyone was extremely nice and it was very quiet tucked back in the trees.
