My wife and I had the most lovely time here. I wish we had been able to stay more than one night and experience the farm more. The landscaping is meticulous and Pearl was the most gracious and lovely host. We'd love to come back to this BandB in the future as, due to rain, we did not get to play mini golf or tennis.

Pearl was the consummate hostess and ensured that we were comfortable in the room and well-fed at breakfast during our 2-night stay. The amenities were wonderful, and the views were spectacular! It was our first time in Ireland and Arva, but we would definitely go back if we are in Ireland again.

I had stayed in Arva at my cousins' home back in 1970 and wasn't sure what to expect--had it changed? Would I even recognize the place? I needn't have worried. Pearl's amazing hospitality (and equally amazing breakfast choices) and the tranquility of the setting itself reassured me that there are still places in Ireland that haven't been overtaken by the high-tech, fast pace of modern life. Watching the cows from our window in the morning (they know where the food comes from!) and the sheep on the front lawn in the afternoons, and wandering through the lovely gardens, added to the uniqueness of this wonderful spot. It's magical.

The Arches B&B was absolutely amazing and our best accommodations in Ireland. The house is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The kids had fun playing on the tennis court and seeing the cows so close up. If we had more time we would have enjoyed the lake and playing mini-golf or pool. The location in the countryside is stunning, along with the immaculate landscaping at the house itself. The nearby town is quaint and Pearl gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner in town. She also provided wonderful suggestions on what we could do as a day trip. Last but not least is Pearl herself & the delicious breakfasts. She is lovely, very helpful and provides a breakfast full of options and clearly made with love. Her freshly baked bread & scones, jams, farm fresh eggs, everything was perfect. I hope to make it back someday!

This was my husbands FAVORITE B & B we visited. Upon arrival we were astonished by the beautiful setting of this home. Not only was the scenery amazing, the landscaping surrounding this home is fabulous! Enjoyed wine and games on the picnic table outside surrounded by blooming roses and breathtaking views!! The rooms were very comfortable with ample space to stretch out and relax. My husband took a late night walk to the lake and thoroughly loved the waterside with the swans and breathtaking views. Pearl made the most amazing homemade scones and bread for breakfast! Everything was truly on point! Hope we get to visit here again one day!
