Lovely space and comfy beds. Kevin was very friendly when we arrived and Brona responsive with my questions when I first booked.

Stunned that the bathroom window didn’t have any window covering to prevent being exposed to the outside. Used the washroom by the light of my phone light multiple times not feeling comfortable with the possible exposure. The window faces away from the main house, however still very uncomfortable and i believe unnecessary. There was a motion sensor in the room which also made the stay uncomfortable. It would catch us rolling over and a blue light would go on which was irritating as I was trying to fall asleep - I’m also unsure why a motion sensor would need to be inside the room catching guests every movement.

Brona and her family were exceptionally accommodating, kind and brilliant hosts. Brona gave us tea, coffee, milk, a night cap!, fresh water and fresh fruit as well as a delicious breakfast. The accommodation was so spacious, clean, stylish and had everything you need. The home and location are so peaceful and stunning. My mum and I were attending a family wedding in Gloster House and the accommodation was very close to Gloster house which was brilliant. I would highly recommend staying here, instead of booking with a hotel, as our stay was so peaceful and tranquil.

Nothing it was fabulous

Everything excellent, facilities wise, excellent host, very helpful and accommodating.

I was a little taken aback that there wasn't even a 'small Irish' option at breakfast, although the continental breakfast was superb, lovely bowl of fruit/muesli/yogurt, fresh orange juice and lovely coffee and a choice of breads, with butter, jams and marmelades, with eggs as you like them, very well presented. I just would have liked a slice of bacon, a sausage as an option. It may have said Continental breakfast somewhere on the blurb, I didn't see it-just 'breakfast included'

Beautifully decorated, self-contained accommodation in a peaceful area near Birr. The quality of the furnishings was exceptional and stylish. Brona was an incredibly gracious host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and provide advice and tips to help us find food, and see the attractions of Birr.

The only incredibly minor issue we had was the blue light at the bottom of the IR alarm sensor mounted over the door would trigger in the middle of the night every time one of us rolled over and that woke me up a few times. Otherwise it was outstanding.

Both my colleague and myself recently attended the National Ploughing Championship for work and were lucky enough to stay with Brona and her lovely family. Brona was so helpful in recommending nice local restaurants texting us links and pictures to review. We received a warm homely welcome on arrival which was very much appreciated and our room was warm, cozy modern and a delight to stay in. The ensuite bathroom featured a large shower unit with a powerful shower which was appreciated after a days hiking in the mud 😊 The bedroom contained a large comfortable bed, Tea/Coffee making facilities, ironing facilities, large wardrobes and flat screen TV. Brona couldn't do enough for us and I would highly recommend staying at her wonderful home. I am hoping to have an excuse to go and stay with her again in the near future....Thanks again Brona for a wonderful stay !! Liz and Samantha XX

There was nothing I didn't like about my stay with Brona.

The breakfast was good with a selection of pastries, cereal, fruit and yoghurt and eggs cooked as desired. Location was further out of Birr than I anticipated.

The bathroom wash basin was far too small and one better suited to a cloakroom. The bathroom was on the ground floor with no blinds and clear glass in the window.

Everything about Brona's accomodation is top class. From check-in until departure, Brona and Kevin were perfect hosts who could not have done more for us during our stay in Birr. We were immediately made welcome with offers of tea/coffee and suggestions for local dining and orientation. Our large bedroom and en-suite were hotel quality, beautiful interiors, spotlessly clean with high quality furnishings and lots of additional extras to add to our comfort. Brona's gourmet breakfast was delicious- a great start to our day! Location is perfect too- a country location but minutes from Birr town centre. Definitely on our list for a return visit to Offaly!

That we couldn't stay longer

The property is gorgeous, cozy and filled with great vibes. The host and their family were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They made a very positive impression on us. The cup of tea on our arrival was a sweet gesture. The rooms were very clean, tidy and pretty.

A cozy little town with hidden treasures including a beautiful castle with gardens and an historical telescope, and lovely shops. A great pit stop in the center of Ireland! I wish we had stayed here longer. The hostess prepared an amazing breakfast; the local Indian restaurant in town, she recommended, was amazing!

Nothing

We want to apologise to Brona for leaving without saying goodbye. I went to do that, but I didn't see her in the kitchen and we were mad late for our class, so sincere apologies for that. It was the nicest B&B I've ever been in. So beautifully decorated. Really lovely room. The beds were so comfy. And the breakfast outside in the sunshine was glorious. We could have sat there for hours.

A blind or some privacy film on the bathroom window would be appreciated.
