Tynte House

John was the most wonderful host I could ever asked for!! He was super sweet and hearing his stories about his home and ancestors was just incredible. For those of you who are a big fan of vintage things/history etc, this place is for you! Located in the beautiful country side of Dunlavin, about 45 min or so from Dublin, is where you can get the real experience of Ireland. We stayed in a room called “wine room” it was gorgeous, huge! Takes you back in time, really! I must give a tip, its not just this place, but even other B&Bs including Scotland (we had visited before coming to Ireland) there are no outlets in bathrooms, so if you’re like me who likes to straighten your hair, I highly recommend bringing an extension cord! Ireland has won our hearts so we will definitely keep returning and this B&B will now be my go to place. Thank you John!!! We loved staying in your beautiful home!

John is an amazing host!! Very friendly and hospitable. Actually one of the friendliest of all the hosts I’ve experience while I was in Ireland! Spoke to him for half hour while he was baking fresh bread for breakfast the next morning. He recommendand a great place to eat at the Holiday Inn where the food and service was just as great! The room was very clean! The B&B is an hour away but when booking it should of been known and shouldn’t be taken away from Johns ratings. He gets 10 stars from me.

John was an excellent host, but I must agree that there's really no place to eat in town other than a fish & chips to go shop. The breakfast was excellent, but as also noted the Dublin airport is an hour away, but that's not a review of the inn. The room was clean and the in suite bathroom was actually one of the larger ones I encountered. I'll give my rating based on the conditions inside the inn and service provided.

I wish we had stayed here our first night instead of our last. We had not stopped for dinner before arriving and discovered there were no sit down restaurants in the town. We would have had to back track 20-30 minutes to find a restaurant. It was late and honestly we were beat after a week of site seeing. We did get carry out and took it to one of the local pubs. John was very pleasant and breakfast was great but we were an hour from the Dublin airport which meant a very early morning.

Tynte House was our first stay in Ireland and it was great. John was very inviting and welcoming. It sits in a little village which offers a great view of local Irish life. The house was full of history (which I love) and feels very lived in. It shows its age in places, but felt cozy and comfortable.
