Wish we had read previous reviews before we had booked. Only wanted one night luxury instead of sleeping in a horse lorry. How wrong...... Room cold, bed linen questionable whether clean or just old and grey instead of white. Landlady seemed pleasant......, however breakfast was despicable...., cereal was 2 months out-of-date - only noticed this on the cereal boxes when... More

I was on a fishing trip and stayed here for three nights, after a long days fishing all I needed was a hot shower, which I had, a quick change and into Kilkenny town which was less than a five minute walk. Can't understand some of the other reviews as nothing in my room was dirty nor was I Cold,... More

First of all, we thought we were getting an en suite room (with bathroom attached) but it turned out that what they really meant was that no one else was sharing the bathroom with us, even though it was down the hall! The rooms were like a 70s throwback. The hosts were nice but not overly friendly. It is also... More

What a disgrace this dirty, scruffy B&B was! The bed linen was mismatched and certainly was not clean, the furniture was mismatched and filthy - not a good place to be. No where for towels in the bathroom and the wash-basin cupboard smelt and was very dirty. There was also a small dog which had the run of the place... More

This B&B was a creepy 70's throwback with well worn and tired furnishings. We were greeted with a very warm welcome, but weren't thrilled with the accommodations. The sheets smelled nice and clean but the beds were lopsided and squeaky and there was no way to turn on the heat. The bathroom had shampoo left over from previous guests and... More

We did not care for this bed and breakfast. Fortunately it was the only bad experience we had while in Ireland. The room was dirty. There were cobwebs up in the corners and on the edge of the bathroom door. The room was freezing! The bathroom was dirty. There was hair and mold in places. The bed was uncomfortable and... More

This B&B is awful - don't stay here. Let me just list a few of the many reasons: 1. COLD. My hands were freezing, so I asked the owner to turn up the heat and she replied "it's summer it's not cold". 2. Dirty Sheets - the bedding did not smell clean. 3. Uncomfortable beds that squeeked every time you... More

We arrived on a cold an rainy Day and inside it was´nt even better (except the rain). It was cold and seemed a little dirty. The bedclothes were verry old and don´t match together. The breakfast wasn´t self-made, some pancakes from the supermarket and not even warm yet. The woman seemed scruffy. Her clothes were dirty. We leaved as fast... More

Stayed here this past weekend... our last B&B in Ireland. There were 3 of us in 2 rooms and we did not sleep one minute. It was cold, it was dark (no windows in our room except for a skylight) and the hosts were.... strange. Breakfast was something from a package... we ended up leaving early, just to get out... More

This B&B had a very good location as within 10 minutes walk you are in the city center. We arrived only at 9PM, however the lady waited for us patiently. after a smalltalk we have received our room as well. The size was OK, the bath was clean, the only problem is the structure of the house: it is unbelievable... More
