Where do we begin. Everything was just wonderful! From the quiet and beautiful surroundings to the comfortable and spacious accommodations. Our rooms were very clean and inviting. Our breakfasts were delicious and customized to each one us. And don't get me started on the homemade bread, scones, jams, very yummy! And finally Pearl, what a gem. There was not enough she could do for our group. Pearl is very knowledgeable and recommended several things for us, to see and do during our stay. We really appreciated her sitting and chatting with us. The four of us enjoyed our four nights with Pearl and Wilson in their lovely home. We would certainly stay here again if we ever have the privilege of visiting Ireland again. We even got in a game of crazy golf with another lovely couple staying at The Arches.

What a fantastic place for a family gathering! We were so lucky to find Pearl and Wilson's B&B and they made our week's stay home from home - par excellence ! We were so warmly welcomed and the accommodation ideal - could not have been bettered. Nothing was too much trouble and Pearl's Irish breakfasts superb with fresh produce from the farm and home made scones, bread, jams etc. Wonderful and unique hosts who made our stay so memorable. From the Reilly (USA/Ireland) and Marriott families (UK) -thanks a million. We will be back!

Thank you so much for taking time to write a review . It was a pleasure having the whole family stay and getting to know you all. Unfortunately the Irish weather was not very kind to you , our summer sunshine had disappeared . Looking forward to meeting you again and hopefully the sun will be shining . Regards Pearl Kells

We enjoyed our stay very much. A beautiful and quiet place to spend your vacation. Peark Kells is the perfect host with a lot of advice and recommendations. The room was very clean and the breakfast was great. For places like these I always use the cliche: a home far away from home.

We had a very enjoyable 3 day stay with Pearl & Wilson. Pearl's homemade bread and preserves were wonderful. Pearl went our of her way for us making us a special breakfast that we hadn't had before. Talking with Wilson about the differences between Irish farming and the Wyoming ranches made my stay very enjoyable. Thank you Pearl & Wilson for the hospitality and great memories.
