Margaret and her staff were very welcoming and helpful for our stay and for activities and local information. The House was great and breakfast is wonderful. Rooms were clean and comfortable, too. Remodeling was going on in part of the dining room, but that never bothered our stay and we look forward to returning to see how it looks finished.... more

A group of us stayed at the Old Cable House in May for a wedding. We found Margaret and Alan (the owners) to be very friendly, even going out of their way to drive all of us to the wedding reception so we didn't have to order cabs, and serving us tea and biscuits in the afternoon. It was a... more

We were looking forward to staying in this historic building and were confident of a warm welcome as the email correspondence was very good and helpful. On arrival however there were some problems finding someone to help us and the reception we got was not overly enthusiastic and no coffee tray was offered as advertised. The room we were given... more

We came to Ireland to visite our daughter working in Waterville at this time. On her advice we booked a 3 night stay at the Waterville Old Cable House and experienced a great warm and friendly welcome there. During our stay everybody, staff and especially the owners were very helpful, making our stay comfortable. We also had the chance to... more

The Old Cable House has established itself in our hearts as the ultimate base for our Irish holidays. On both previous visits, the welcome has been outstanding, a meal for 4 being served at 11PM when we were delayed unavoidably on our first arrival. This was tyical of the many kindnesses extended to us during our visits. There is a... more

This is without doubt one of the very best B&Bs I have stayed in. Very welcoming, lovely light, spotlessly clean room. Excellent dinner & breakfast of scrambled egg & locally smoked salmon - perfect! The history of the telegraphic cable is fascinating & there are many pieces of memorabilia around including a huge scale model of the ship that laid... more

My husband and I have traveled extensively for 27 years and have found Ireland to be our favorite "Home Away from Home". This year we discovered a B -n-B, The Old Cable House, that became our true home for eight nights. It's centrally located to many of the sightseeing attractions & rooms, ensuite or not, are inviting, comforatable, well-kept and... more

We were most disappointed by the Old Cable House. The building looked lovely in the web photograph and it sounded a charming place and it was with high hopes that we arrived. However, the entrance was cramped and rather gloomy. The reception from the owner was unenthusiastic (in sharp contrast to every other place we stayed in Ireland). The room... more

What a lovely place to stay. Margaret will look after you so well. The rooms are clean and bright. Comfortable beds. Wonderful food. What more can I say. A great place to base yourself while visiting this lovely part of Ireland. We also took our dog with us and she was welcome to stay in our room. more
