I called Shandon Bells directly three weeks ahead of my trip to book two nights. I was quoted a good price on the phone. When it came time to leave, I was told I owed 30 Euro more than the price I had been told over the phone. The woman argued with me and would not accept the rate I... more

My friend and I stayed at the Shandon Bells in May. We were there for three nights. Prior to booking we had a giggle at some of the more advesre comments about this place.

Hilary and her team were excellent and very friendly. The town centre is only a few minutes walk away and yet Western Road is not too busy. We would definitely stay again. more

Our room was clean and comfortable and the full Irish breakfasts each morning were delicious! The house is a beautiful old house which they... more

The room was tiny with the double bed jammed against one wall. To get out to the bathroom, involved somersaults over your partner the like of which I... more
