This b&b is simply excellent! Large room, large bathroom, clean, beautiful view, excellent breakfast and extremely nice people. The only thing we regreted was that we have not booked for a longer period. Hope we shall repeat this experience in the next years! Bentry is also a very pleasant town with excellent restaurants. Would highly recommend Edencrest to anybody!

My wife and I have a good bit of traveling under our belt and have stayed at various B&B's that are happy to take your money but, fall short on one feature or another.

Thankyou both for your kindness and general feel good thoughts of our B & B and the service we provide, even though we are in fact in business since 1995 it does indeed seem like it's 27 years !!!!! - You will also enjoy the experience of the Rock of Cashel on your travels - Especially the wall paintings!!!

Great great experience! This house has great views of bantry bay and a short carride or leisurely walk near the town of bantry (which has excellent food- try brick oven!) Great central are for exploring Bantry. We loved Josephine and she is just the sweetest lady. The house takes full advantage of the views with picnic tables and sky windows.... More

Thankyou for your compliments which are very much appreciated. Also the views of 'Whiddy Island' are amazing from here, a small island, approximately 3 miles long x 1.5 miles wide & nestling in the sheltered heart of Bantry Bay, Its inhabitants, mostly devoted to fishing and farming, are warm natured people who welcome both day-trippers and holiday makers alike.

My wife and I chose Eden Crest because of it's proximity to Bantry bay. When we met Josephine and Barry, the owners, we felt as if we had met friends. The room, ensuite, was large, comfortable, and perfect for us. The breakfasts were wonderful, I recommend to salmon, and Barry and Josephine's hints about Bantry Bay were right on. We... More

Myself & my son stayed at Edencrest in July 2011. Since then, I have been planning a return trip - knowing that once I would return to the area, I would only consider staying with Josephine & Barry Walsh.

A fantastic B&B. We had a lovely room with a very spacious bathroom. Breakfast was excellent with a breakfast menu to better any cafe/restaurant. The hostess Josephine was very welcoming and helpful. I couldn't recommend Edencrest highly enough!

2 of us on motorbikes. Stayed one night, Sept 2012. The house and surroundings were absolutely immaculate. The traditional irish breakfast was the best I've ever had. If this was a hotel, it would definitely be 5 star. B & B's don't get better than this!
