    Thank you, Olwen, for your wonderful hospitality! We loved our stay in the spacious family room, charmingly decorated with hats and dancing-themed touches. It was peaceful and quiet, and the beautiful hall and staircase leading to the second floor are truly stunning. The house is full of character and history — a real treasure!

    Nothing to improve on.. Perfect as it is.

    Beautiful house and garden. House is a mansion by most standards. Paintings and decorations look like they belong in a museum. Breakfast was top notch, plenty of choices. Beautiful property, very quiet, but close to Blarney castle

    Full of Character and Warm Hospitality

    I was honestly so charmed by the property that I didn’t even focus on any flaws. Everything about the stay felt special and full of character. One small thing I noticed was that the kettle had a very short lead, so I had to place it on the floor to boil water. But really, that was just a minor detail and didn’t take away from the overall experience at all.

    I arrived after 10pm due to late hours at work, and the kind gentleman Douglas was there waiting for me. He warmly welcomed me and showed me to the beautiful room. I have to say, the whole experience was an amazing surprise. The rate was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the stay. The decor is kept in a well-preserved Victorian style, full of charm and character—it’s always a real treat to stay in a property like this. The service and staff were exceptionally nice—so kind and thoughtful. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They anticipated my needs before I even had to ask. For example, they refilled my water bottle for me without me saying a word, even though I was happy to do it myself. It’s just a pity I couldn’t stay longer and explore more of the house and garden. I’ll definitely be back!

    Everything was great, no issues.

    Exceptional hosts and great location, with Blarney Castle just up the road, and Cork a short drive away. The breakfast was exceptional with a great assortment of delicacies. Definitely the best B&B breakfast we experienced in Ireland.

    As we were leaving, we were invited to select from some pamphlets. On inspection, it was evident that they had a religious slant. It's not a major, and some people may even embrace it, but personally, I would prefer not to be asked to do this.

    It is a country manor that has been providing B&B for about 40 years. We were greeted by our hostess and showed where we would be having breakfast before showing us our room. The room was spacious and opened to a large deck. The rooms are themed and we were in the Rose room. It is in keeping with the style of the house and was clean and well presented. The breakfast was both a selection of cereals with fruit and yogurt as well as hot food, eggs, bacon, and sausages. The location is just a couple of minutes from Blarney Castle.

    We don't like a shower - over - bath, but are preferable to a bath only.

    We were lucky enough to be given an upgrade to the biggest room - what a treat!
