David/Christine Stickrod 27 Jun 2022 Review Score: 10/10 This was one of our favorite B&Bs. The owners are very accommodating, informative, and friendly. We loved the property gardens and how the home was decorated. Rhe breakfast was one of the better ones we had. The location is absolutely perfect ... next to the Shannon River. The recommended pub was also great! Thanks for making our trip special
Michael Doherty 24 May 2022 Review Score: 10/10 Our host went out of his way to help take care of my wife when she became sick the day after we arrived. He made potato and leek soup for her to eat after she recovered and went to the grocery store to buy some 7-Up, an old Irish remedy for an exceptionally upset stomach. His full Irish breakfast was superb - beyond our expectations.
Dan Schwyn 24 Apr 2022 Review Score: 10/10 Great hosts in a charming location, we enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!
