This place had a fantastic bathroom. David was an excellent host, gave us great information and cooked probably our best breakfast on a three week holiday. As a golfer from Australia I would have loved to play Ballybunion but not sure if I could cope with that wind without many dozen golf balls and some sedatives. The guest house drying... More

This bed and breakfast was really special, the room was very clean and nice, with lots of space to spread out. It felt like home to us, we loved meeting David and family including Copper (the dog). David was very helpful with ideas of what to see in the area and gave us a tip to check out the Burren... More

We stayed here for 1 night and this is an excellent B&B. David greeted us on arrival and was really welcoming and made us real right at home. The room was huge with a really nice en-suite and all the mod cons. The breakfast was really nice also, we had the pancakes, top class. I would definitely stay here again. More

David greeted us warmly and exhuberantly, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. The room was huge, sparkling clean, lots of windows and well appointed. While the men left early for golf, the ladies were welcome to sit at breakfast for as long as we wanted -- a very relaxing and pleasant start... More

The Tides is easily one of the best B&Bs in Ireland - lovely accomodations, warm and friendly host and hostess in David and Doreen. I can heartily recommend it. More

David & Doreen are so hospitable, both excellent hosts. The outside grounds are impeccable, inside decor & cleanliness of the... More

I have talked with David on several occasions, planning to stay at The Tides. I made reservations, changed them and then had to cancel them. All the while David was very patient and understanding. I am sure it was inconvenient for him to have to juggle around my plans but he was most accommodating and kind. Very considerate of him... More

I was working up in Ballybunnion for a few days and the company booked me into the Tides. I was plesently surprised and delighted. The bedroom and ensuite was beautiful and would certainly stand up to any 5 star hotel. David and Doreen were excellent hosts. I had the front sittingroom all to myself and every evening when i got... More

This is the fourth time we have stayed at the Tides. Each stay gets better and better. In reading other reviews they are all correct. Perfect breakfasts, wonderful clean rooms with sheets that smell like a fresh Irish morning. David has many interesting tales to tell and Doreen is a very wonderful hostess. Next time you visit, have David tell... More
