We stayed just one night at Bunratty Castle Mews. It was our last night in Ireland, so we decided to spring for one of the more expensive "themed" rooms--we chose the "Irish" room. It was nice, but not quite as nice as it looked online--the main problem was it felt smaller than it looked in the pictures. It really wasn't... more

From the beginning - way back in February when I booked with Dolores, she was perfect to work with - very quick to respond to my emails (and believe me ... I had a lot of questions!) I spoke to her a few times on the phone and couldn't wait to meet her - so very friendly! I called to... more

Nice B&B down the road from Bunratty Castle. Rooms were quite small once an extra bed was added but appreciated the family friendly atmosphere. Deloris helped us get a dinner reservation at the Castle where we had been waitlisted for 2 months so we thank her for that! My only problem was that apparently most people leave here for Shannon... more

I booked with Dolores a month in advance of my intention to stay with her. Upon arriving in Ireland, my companion became ill and we had to return to California. I emailed Dolores at the email address on her B&B's site, where I had originally made the reservation. The email to cancel was sent seven days prior to our reservation,... more

We are great supporters of the Tripadvisor concept as it helps us keep up our standards and service and you will have noticed that the last 2 reviewers have not even stayed with us due to their inability to contact us for some reason. The above reviewer was sent 2 confirmation E-mails and upon not showing up on the first...

Dolores does not return emails, even when you book online (wherein it says we'll get back to you "ASAP" to confirm your reservation). This presents a problem if you book online: You don't know if she has space for you or not, and you don't even know if she's still in business. Here's the good part: If you book online,... more

We always return E-mails and keep a record of all E-mails received and sent. I understand that if people have their spam filters set to high or do not monitor their spam box for legitimate mail or use different E-mail addresses you may miss legitimate messages. If you book on our secure site and have read the cancellation policy, even...

It's really close to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, barely 2-3 mins drive, v convenient. Not so near that the constant tourists flow can be heard. It has ample parking and is wonderfully decorated and really feels like a home, showing the character of the owner, who has lovingly collected stuff from all over and displays it proudly in an... more

We just got back from a quick 4 day trip to Ireland. Dolores was a wonderful host and her home is beautiful. Our room was nicely decorated and we had a decent amount of room. The bathroom was on the small side. It was probably the only negative thing I have to say about this place. It is quite large... more

This was our first stop after arriving at Shannon airport. We took a cab $25 euro and arrived very early. Dolores was gracious enough to find a room for us and fix breakfast upon our arrival at 6:00am. We were able to rest before taking in the Folk Park. Since we didn't have a car we walk the 1 mile... more

Just back home from staying at this B&B last night. I found Dolores to be extremely helpful and welcoming. Room was clean and serviceable, i.e., good enough - I don't expect great size or luxury in a B&B. My room (at back) had a nice view onto fields. Dolores went out of her way, e.g., getting up early enough to... more

Great host

We spend one night at this place. Dolores is a great host, warm and always want to help. The only reason I did not give a 5 star reveiw is because compare with the 3 family rooms we stayed previously, the family room tand he bath room here were small and plain. I did get to see several other double... more
