We stayed at this Inn one night, before flying out of Shannon the next morning. Headley Court is a little hard to find and a good drive (5-10 minutes or so) from the center of Bunratty.
Our family room was nicely decorated, but we noticed early on that the walls were paper thin, as we could hear people walking upstairs and chatting in the hallway. In the bathroom, there was a huge jacuzzi tub, but a note from the innkeeper saying guests weren't allowed to use the tub as a bathtub because previous guests "had abused" it and they had to replace the wood floors. It seemed a little silly then to have this beautiful jacuzzi in the room and not be able to use it, but oh well.... (and why have wood floors in a bathroom?)
Breakfast the next morning was good, but Kathleen, the owner, seemed a little miffed when we interrupted her cooking to pay her for the room. (We really didn't have any option -- we had a flight to catch...)
Overall, the room and stay was fine, but I think next time we'd choose somewhere more centrally located and with a little more hospitality.

Our stay at the Headley Court B&B came at the end of our 10 days of traveling through the west of Ireland. There were 14 family members traveling and we took up the entire Headley Court B&B. Owner Kathleen Brown is wonderful! She is friendly, gracious, and provides wonderful accommodations in her impecable B&B. The rooms are spotlessly clean, roomy and our breakfast was delicious! We will definately stay here on our next trip to Ireland!

My husband and I were referred to Headley Crt by the owner of Ashgrove B&B. It was our last night in Ireland before flying out of Shannon airport, 10 minutes drive away. Who would expect to find such a pleasant place to stay so close to an airport? Of the 10 B&Bs/mid-rangehotels we stayed in during our trip this ranked tied at the top (with Daly House in Doolin). Young owner Katherine Browne was knowledgeable about the airport situation (recent bomb scares), and pointed out the short cut to the airport. She also prepared a nice fruit & bread plate since our early flight meant we would miss breakfast. The room was very quiet, with an excellent bed and a very good shower. Hair dryer too. And wash cloths (mostly absent everywhere else). We enjoyed our dinner at Durty Nellies Pub, which is a genuinely cool, unassuming old place (1600's) with sawdust strewn over the floor. This B&B would make a good place to arrive for your first night or two in Ireland: get over your jet lag and check out the Burren region while you're at it. Without a car, though, you will have to get a taxi from the airport.

Pr os Very Pretty, spacious room. Extremely comfortable beds Clean.A touch of heat to take the chill out of the room much appreciated.

Cons: terribly squeaky floors . Hostess Kathleen, behaved as though having guests was a terrible inconvenience to her. Most unpleasant host I have encountered in all my travels. I go abroad 2 or 3 times a year.and greet my fellow humans with good will Have been all over Europe and a bit of Asia, and never encountered any one with her attitude. Maybe I caught her at a bad moment.

P.S. Had a wonderful meal and fun time at Durty Nellie'sabout a mile from Headley house.
