The owner is helpful and kind. This is not the place to come if you expect luxury and a grand abbey or manor. The home is well kept, the food... read more is good, and the home is in a convenient location. We stayed one night.
Pros:
Price
Location
Comfortable sleep
Food
Cons:
She's a stickler for 4:00 arrival, sent us away at 3:42 pm, and told us to return at 4:00 pm. We had been traveling for 4 hours at that point. So, arrive after 4:00 to be sure.
Bathrooms and showers are small
No hot water upon arrival, then we had no water during the husband's shower the next day

The choice of breakfast was great and Chris, our host, couldn't have been anymore accommodating. At 6’4 the rooms and facilities were brilliant and after a long day walking on the trail it was fantastic to come back and relax in this beautifully restored home.
We had two lovely pubs less than 2 minutes walk plus a beautiful little coffee shop that sold hot food.
I would recommend Ardmore House to anyone looking to enjoy a great breakaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Chris also helped us arrange transfers to the various drop off locations along the Slieve Bloom Trail which was one less thing for us to worry about.
Chris is an absolute lady, friendly and kind and always willing to help. It was a privilege to stay at her beautiful home and I look forward to returning in the future.
Christina is happy to offer suggestions of activities and sights around the area as well - including out of ordinary places to see and explore.
We give 5 stars to this lovely accommodation and would gladly return.
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
The lovely gardens and rooms made our stay very enjoyable, Chris couldn't do enough for us... read more and made us feel very comfortable, giving us advise on walks and cooking up a fantastic breakfast . I couldn't recommend this place enough .
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.
A highlight was tea and scones served on the lawn on arrival and a warm welcome from Chris. Home-cooked breakfast was delicious especially the homemade brown bread - all much better than mass-produced hotel fare.
Probably the best B&B we've stayed in so we will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time..
This is a perfect location to go hiking, biking and drives around the mountains. Birr is just a short 15 min drive away. I'd highly recommend the Riverside restaurant for dinner.
