The Old Bank

Out of all the B&B’s we stayed at during our holiday, the Old Bank was by far the best place we stayed at. The hostess was warm and very sociable. Had a great sense of humor as well. We really loved the parlor with the warm fire, and found it hard to want to go back up to our rooms for the evening. I would stay here again in a heart beat if I’m in the neighborhood again🥰

Friendly, clean, huge breakfast options and a warm fire at reception. This former bank, renovated into a B&B, gives a guest a bit extra as does the lady in charge. Parking was right out front, we slept well, enjoyed the pub down the street, hope to come back. TY Miriam....

A very nice B&B and also a very nice host. We always had a good time with Miriam. She helped us with detailed plans for hiking tours and gave tips for places to visit. The room was excellent and quiet. For breakfast we were offered a variety of (for example) different pancakes and also did Miriam provide us with different sorts of coffee. For those who complain about the size of the TV in the rooms: well, you did not come to Ireland for watching television, did you? We were pleased with the size of the TV and needn´t really one. All in all we can recommend The Old Bank to every visitor. If you are not pleased, it is your fault, not that of the host.

I would hope after upgrading the Tvs to 32 inch flat screens with Netflix and youtube that no one else will give out about their size.. ha ha Till next time, our fondest farwells Miriam & Family xx

I can’t say enough great things about our recent stay at The Old Bank in Bruff. Miriam emailed me immediately after our reservation was made to inquire about room preferences (double or twin) so that rooms could be allocated correctly prior to our arrival. (This was most helpful as my 75+ year old mother and my 27 y/o son did not want to share a double bed… 😊). Miriam also referred me to their website which listed many suggestions on area attractions to help us plan our itinerary. I emailed Miriam again the week prior to our trip to re-confirm our reservation and provide an approximate arrival time. As we were traveling and planned to arrive close to 9p, she let us know what local options were available for dining that evening. The Old Bank was conveniently located downtown in Bruff, a lovely little village in County Limerick. We easily found a spot in the private parking area behind the B&B. On arrival, Miriam greeted my family and provided a thorough overview of our accommodations. She inquired about our itinerary for the next few days, offered recommendations, and provided several brochures with a map. We were shown to our pretty rooms upstairs where a carafe of chilled water, cookies, and chocolate mints awaited. There were ample pillows, blankets, and towels provided. There was a jacuzzi tub in our en-suite bathroom and a small, wall-mounted TV in our bedroom as well as Wi-Fi and a computer available on the landing outside for our use. Freshly baked goodies were waiting downstairs at our designated dining time each morning. Miriam’s homemade muffins were the most scrumptious we’ve ever eaten... I’m still craving her chocolate chip muffins while my Mom loved the blueberry ones! Tea, coffee, juices, and cereals were also available while we waited for our freshly cooked hot breakfast items at our private dining table. Miriam gladly accommodated all of our dining requests (I’m such a picky eater!); the serving sizes were plentiful, and the food was delicious. One evening, we arrived after the security gate to the private parking area was closed, but had no problem finding available parking directly in front of the B&B. The Euro Spar next door was very convenient for picking up extra snacks and water for our daily excursions. There were 3 or 4 local pubs as well as several dining options within walking distance. The area was clean and well-lit, and felt very safe to us. All the people we encountered were pleasant and friendly. I would heartily recommend The Old Bank B&B to anyone seeking accommodations in the Limerick area and would gladly book another stay there.
