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

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..

  With 4 friends we stayed 4 nights while walking the Slieve Blooom Way. Even before we arrived Chris ensured our stay would be trouble-free, giving us information... read more to arrange a local taxi to bring & collect us from trail-heads each day as well as places to book to eat in evenings. Rooms were spotlessly clean, roomy, quiet & very comfortable. On arrival Chris made time to greet us with a welcome cuppa & Brownie, even though this coincided with the final exciting minutes of Limerick v Kilkenny final hurling match. Everything was perfectChris even made space to store our picnic supply boxes in her fridge.

  House was lovely. Very clean and beautifully restored. However, the host was a bit cranky. From our first interaction with unnecessary comments about the luggage to knocking on our door... read more in the morning and scolding us for being 2 minutes late to breakfast, interactions with the host were disappointing. Breakfast times were dictated to our group rather than offered. For being a hospitality professional, the warmth and welcome was lacking.

  This place is magic! Chris is amazing, knowledgeable and fun. We were only here for one night and wish we had stayed for more. It was clean,... read more cozy and perfect. We compared every other stay to this one and Ardmore Country House was our favorite. Rooms were clean, super comfy and well equipped. Breakfast was delish and great brown bread!! We went to the local pub and had an super fun night - Thanks Chris for joining us and for the laughs and for all the recommendations that we used on the rest of our trip.

  I think like a lot of people in Ireland we had forgotten about the charm of bed and breakfasts for breaks in Ireland. After a very disappointing stay in a... read more notable nearby hotel we decamped to this wonderful guesthouse. What we had probably forgotten was the human touch, from the scones and coffee and tea on our early arrival to the local knowledge and directions that saved us many a detour. It’s a beautiful setting apparently the house was built by the former Lords of what is now called Kinnitty Castle for their GP. Beautiful gardens, beautiful view and a wonderful tasty breakfast in a room with a view. Chris was an excellent hostess, book with confidence. More
