What more is there to add to the preceding reviews? The location is fabulous, the gardens lovely, and Brian is a most welcoming host. He provides a wide range of breakfast dishes - not the usual Full Irish fry-up - including locally smoked salmon and an unusual tasty vegetarian option. The location must be idyllic in good weather and is... more

We booked the Cairbre House having read other reviews and we were not disappointed. The location was beautiful and a pleasant 15 minute walk into the town centre. Brian was a wonderful host who greeted us with genuine warmth. He immediately made a lovely pot of tea with biscuits and provided them whilst we sat in his gorgeous Rose Garden.... more

We enjoyed our stay at Dungarvan! Brian was the first Irishman in Ireland we had chatted to at length and we learnt something about most Irishmen - they talk fast! But if you can listen fast you find out a lot about the area and your room and breakfast the next morning! (Irishmen walk fast too!) Brian was great and... more

My friend and I stayed at the Cairbre house our first night in Ireland. Brian was wonderful. From the minute we walked in he was lovely and willing to assist us in any way he could. We had a lovely room and I must say the attention to detail was phenomenal. Everything was beautiful and purple! Brian assisted us in... more

Brian gave us a complete run-down of where to eat in town, and offered up his collection of menus for our... more

Our stay was so great, that we've booked the first few nights of our honeymoon there! Brian and Catherine were amazing, we'd never really stayed in Bed and Breakfasts before, but this was home from Home!!! I couldn't recommend this place highly enough! You'll absolutely love this lovely old house and the excellent breakfast and atmosphere and bonhommie!!!!! more

My husband and I stayed here on a bicycle trip around the southern part of Ireland in June. We loved the house, the host, and the garden. The breakfast was very nice. Most of all, we felt welcomed and at home. Our bike gear was very wet and Brian and his work-mate (sorry, I've forgotten her name) were very helpful... more

My husband and I together with our two young children (Aged 4 & 2) stayed at Cairbre House for two nights. From the momemt we arrived Brian was welcoming, friendly, efficient and generous. He is a fantastic ambassador for Dungarvan and is very helpful in a practical no fuss kind of way. The house itself is warm comfortable and clean... more
