I had a wonderful stay here for a friend's wedding at nearby Kinnitty Castle. Chris made me feel very welcome and my room was super clean, comfortable and quiet. The... read more shower was absolutely amazing - as was the breakfast!

  Location was good for the event we were attending at the Castle; room was large and spacious. Water pressure in the shower is great!
However: cleanliness in parts was not... read more the best - shower flooded due to the amount of hair in the drain and the water bottle lid was covered in black mould.
The room was very good in terms of value, but (and I say this hesitantly given the rather cutting replies to any critical reviews), our welcome was not particularly warm. We had emailed the host prior to booking to confirm that we would be arriving half an hour later than the 7pm check in cutoff and were assured it was fine; however we received a phone call asking for our ETA (not sure if this email had been forgotten as sent several months prior). However upon arrival the host seemed quite hassled with us.
We were also pressured several times to pay in cash which we were not comfortable with. We were chastised as the card payment app “takes a percentage” and told to drive to Birr (a 30 minute round-trip) to get cash out. We refused and felt this put a dampener on the trip.
One more thing (which may be personal preference) but we locked our bedroom, and whilst we were out, someone came in to make the bed. I think it would be a nice touch to check before entering a locked bedroom (eg in hotels you can put a housekeeping request on the doorknob).
I’d say for the price paid the venue was fine, but I did not feel particularly welcome during my stay.

  Stayed for 2 nights. Chris was very welcoming and runs a beautiful B&B. The room was really lovely and breakfast was delicious. Kinnitty is a lovely quiet town and loads... read more to see with beautiful walks. We went to the Shannon, Birr and The rock of Cashel within the two days so it’s a great base for the surrounding areas too. Highly recommended 🙂

  Arrived here completely wet, but it was nice and well-organised. Nice breakfast, also very pleasant and decent lady. The building itself is quite well-maintained, with a beautiful virginia creeper all... read more over it. More

  This was our fourth and final B & B and by far the best! Chris is the definition of a hostess. She welcomes you into her home and offers you... read more tea or coffee. She shows you your room and tells you she will light a fire downstairs so you can drink your wine by it.
The bedroom was a giant hug! The fluffy bed smelled slightly of lavender Her breakfast is fresh off the farm or at least it tastes like it is. I could fan girl all day about this place.
Thank you, Chris!

  We stayed with Chris at this beautiful guest house . From the moment we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the hostess who was more than welcoming.
Chris is... read more no stranger to the adventures that surround Kinnity and filled us in on what was available . From horse riding to walking trails through the Sleeve Bloom mountains there is also a Bike trail with different levels to suit all ages and fitness levels. We were able to hire bikes right from the house . All of this and much more is so well organised that we were all at ease from the get go .
The lady of the house is a fantastic cook and I highly recommended her Homemade Brown bread !

Such a beautiful home with stunning gardens

We will be back !

Thank you More

  First of all, Chris our hostess was awesome!
She steered us in the right direction for sights we would be interested in and not too far away. The breakfasts are... read more HUGE and delicious!! The cheese scones are a must!
I highly recommend the B&B! We were there for 3 nights and had a wonderful visit.

She went above... read more and beyond for us on our trip. The room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was huge and very tasty! Chris has a wealth of knowledge about walks etc to do in the area. I'd highly recommend staying here and using it as a base to explore Kinnity and the many hikes and bike routes around here in the Slieve Bloom Mountains.

  Beautiful house with all the facilities required for a one-night stay. Christine was such a lovely host and provided great recommendations. Also provided us with tea and cake on arrival.... read more Breakfast of a full Irish, cereals and scones was delicious. Would definitely stay again!

  Recently stayed with Chris in her beautiful b&b while attending a nearby wedding. So friendly & accommodating. House and rooms were beautiful, bed very comfortable and water pressure in shower... read more was amazing. Excellent breakfast also.

  A few of us recently stayed in the Chris's wonderful B&B whilst we trekked the Slieve bloom way.

It was the perfect base for such an adventure and... read more a truly warm environment that one would require after a long day hiking.

The B&B is perfect for anyone's needs, from a lovely hot breakfast in the morning (THE SCONES!!!) to the incredibly comfortable beds. I've seen people complain about the shower size but all of my family are all over 6ft (apart from Stephen he's only 5'11" ) and we had zero problems with it. Some people just like a moan.

What sets this B&B apart from most was Chris. She is not only helpful with everything that a guest would need. But she is a warm and welcoming lady who makes you feel truley welcome in her home. We all had great chats with her and even shared a drink as she regaled us of her tales of travel. You'd be remiss not to spend a few hours in Chris's company.

I look forward to staying here again. And I know you will too once you've stayed. More

  We were so pleased that we selected Ardmore Country House for our three-night stay. Chris was super helpful during our stay and we found her very friendly, easy-going and a... read more great cook! Our room was lovely, nice and spacious and with a very comfy bed. The central location was brilliant - perfect for our day trips. Chris's local knowledge was great and we enjoyed the destinations she recommended. We were also lucky enough to enjoy a Wednesday evening at the pub across the road, where Chris played fiddle alongside other local musicians during a wonderful informal evening of music and singing. This was one of the highlights of our trip, along with the amazing Ardmore Country House Soda Bread made by Chris. We would gladly stay here again.

  My husband and I loved our stay at the Ardmore. Chris was an amazing hostess! She greeted us warmly and had a fire waiting for us in the sitting room.... read more She also helped us with our dinner plans. She even walked down to the local pubs and called the nearby castle on our behalf. Our room was clean and comfortable with a peaceful view. We enjoyed dinner at the castle and met wonderful people in the pub a short walk from the home. Chris made us a tasty breakfast the following morning that we enjoyed with a view of the garden. The Ardmore is a beautiful home! Our stay with Chris was by far our favorite during our time in Ireland. We will definitely be back! More
