There were 12 of us traveling in our group and 10 of us stayed at this cute B&B. The other 2 were added later to our group so they stayed at another B&B, but Charlie and Carmel said there was room for them too, but plans were already made elsewhere. Charlie and Carmel were great hosts and so very friendly.... More

This little gem is a perfect place to stay and visit the cliff's of Moher. We traveled from Dublin and hit up the cliff's and than settled in for the night in this little place in Limerick. It was perfect. WE all were about done driving so we were happy it wasn't too far from the cliff's. We had a... More

Our stay at the "Pink House" B&B was magical. We were in search of family records in the area of Newcastle West. Carmel could not have been kinder, and because of her care and efforts we were able to find family. The accommodations were comfortable and the excellent breakfast was served in a lovely dining room. One of the nicest... More

My fiance stayed here 14 - 18 Sept, he works for Olehausens and was working at the Taste of Westfest. When he remarked how fabulously friendly Carmel & Charlie were I had to experience it myself and joined him on the Monday. Not only had they made him feel so welcome they were extremely generous & drove him to the... More

Coming from Newcastle Australia we just had to stay in Newcastle Ireland! Carmel & Charles were the perfect hosts. As Ballingowan House is a few miles out of the town Carmel not only suggested a good restrauant but drove us to it & the friendly waitress just happened to live down the road gave us a lift home. All together... More

We absolutely adored our stay at Ballingowan House. The lady of the house Carmel was lovely, helpful and kind. Great location, spacious rooms and bathrooms (largest in all of our stays in B&Bs while in Ireland), charming decor, and a delicious and generous breakfast. Would love to visit again, and would definitely recommend to first time visitors to Ireland. -Hannah... More

Carmel will instantly make you feel welcomed and at home. She is a wealth of information on the surrounding area and will gladly help you plan any trips. On arrival she helped us to our room and we happily chatted for another 20 minutes. The beds were the comfiest we slept in whilst in Ireland. Such a great price and... More

Staying the night at Ballingowan was an absolute treat. Carmel was a delight. She offered to drive my daughter and I to a local restaurant/hotel for dinner. Since it was Good Friday and there was no serving of alcohol in public establishments we couldn't order wine with our meal. Well wouldn't you know, when we returned to Ballingowan, Carmel had...

We stayed with Carmel and Charlie at Ballygowan House for two nights in February 2012. They were both frendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, a good start for a very active day. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly be happy to stay with them again.
