It might be above the bar/restaurant but very quiet in the room the only sounds came from the open windows. The owner was exceptional remembering my name and making sure our stay was the best. Enjoyed several hours in the beer garden and the dinner was wonderful! Blarney castle was just across the square perfect location. Highly recommend

We loved staying here! We wish we had more time here. We checked in late at night, and enjoyed the Friday night music until the pub closed (then just being able to walk upstairs to go to bed was great). All the staff were lovely, and the full Irish breakfast the next morning was a highlight too (definitely worth paying for).

This was a highlight stay for us in 3 months travelling. Lovely rooms above the pub with everything you need but most importantly, great great staff. Friendly, helpful, and caring. They couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good stay. Terrific atmosphere. Great location in beautiful Blarney. Parked the car (for free) and walked everywhere. The pub had live music every night we were there (over a weekend). A little street noise as people were leaving, but hey, we were only getting to bed ourselves (pub closes at 12). Food in the restaurant was really good too. Do yourself a favour and stay at least a night ( 2 or 3 would be better) 😀

Not a thing.

My room was situated at the front of the Muskerry Arms & overlooked the square in Blarney, it was very clean & had tea making facilities. The bed was both comfortable & spacious for two, the wardrobe & side cabin had sufficient space for both sharing & the room was advertised as suitable for a disabled user. The bathroom requires a little more thought with regards to disability usage, as the space near the toilet & shower would require better hand rails & support rails for those wishing to independently vacate a wheelchair, this would also require a shower chair as the splash screen is tight for a wheelchair to occupy & can lead to access water covering the tiled floor causing it to become slippery as the shower curtain is poorly fitted as gaps let water through. You may wish to ask the manager or premises where the chair lift is located before booking as the room is on the first floor.

The windows have double sound screens to avoid any noise entering from outside, but as the pub closes most nights at 1am & reopens again at 7.30am in the morning, make sure the screen is fully closed as sleep disruption can be caused if the external window is left slightly open for fresh air. A better air vent could be considered in the bathroom as after using the shower the room fills with condensation & makes the floor extremely wet & slippery.

The hotel/pub is located close to Blarney Castle and it has a Centro next door if you need anything. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything you need (except for a fridge). The food in the restaurant was excellent and if you want to listen to some music, there was live entertainment from 10pm to midnight. The staff were amazing and always willing to assist with any request. I enjoyed my stay here. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

Perhaps a fridge in the room but it wasn't an issue.

We were very happy with our decision to stay overnight in Blarney at Muskerry Arms. It offered an early check in, which allowed us to get settled before walking across the town square to the castle. We were able to explore the castle and gardens at our leisure in the late afternoon after the line to kiss the Blarney stone had died down, then returned to the inn for a leisurely dinner and a couple of pints at the pub. Unfortunately we had an early departure so did not get to have breakfast downstairs. The beds and pillows were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the staff was very accommodating. We would definitely do it again.

We were looking for the quintessential small town Irish pub and inn to stay at to complete our experience in Ireland and this is it. The staff is amazing, the room is comfortable (with the exception of the very small shower), the pub is perfect and the food is delicious. If you don't have a car, the bus stop is right outside. Just an FYI, it is an old building, so don't expect an elevator. You will have to walk up one or two flights of stairs to get to you room. But don't worry, the staff carries your luggage up for you. Also, you check in for your room at the bar! Have a pint while your at it! We highly recommend Muskerry Arms!

The small shower.

Basically everything. It's a very unique pub and B&B. The pub is downstairs and the rooms are upstairs. No music in that pub. I had a big room with double bed, 2 night tables, a desk with a mirror, a round table with mugs, kettle, milk,tea and instant coffee. The room had an humidifier, iron board ,tv. The bathroom was big., with all the new, fancy stuff. They changed the towels and they cleaned up the room daily. The breakfast was very good with big portions. All the employees were very helpful and polite. Check in/check out was very easy.. The bus stop is right outside the pub on the right. 10 seconds walk. The bus schedule is posted at the bottom of the bus route. Very quiet neighborhood.

N/A.

Location was excellent. The bar downstairs was very fun and charming, not to mention convenient! Just what you would expect from an Irish pub. The staff of young adults was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean and updated. Walkable to Blarney Castle, the Woolen Mills and other bars/restaurants. (Sika is a great breakfast place!)

The only drawback was that there was no air conditioning. We had an unusually warm day during our stay and we realize, especially at older inns in Ireland, there is no air conditioning. Fans were provided in the rooms, and we slept with the windows open.

Extremely clean and comfortable rooms that -- even though above a pub -- are very quiet and peaceful. There is little to zero pub noise heard upstairs in the rooms. The pub is large and has very good food, fairly decent prices. Servers ranged from good to excellent. No complaints Excellent location near Blarney Castle, as well as the Woolen Mills. Fully-stocked varity store right next to the Inn with "Off License" section -- you can buy anything you need/ want. Would definitely stay again.

Parking is somewhat awkward if you don't manage a spot on the street right in front of the Inn, and those spots are rare if the pub/ restaurant is open and operating. It's a bit of a walk up a steep hill towards the back of the property. Lots of parking there, but some may not be able to manage luggage etc. up and down the steep incline. This can be remedied by dropping bags and people off prior to parking. Not a huge issue but a bit of an annoyance.
