Been there on August, 6th, 2011 and what to say?. Excelent rooms, excelent location and very good breakfast. We arrived a little late (around 19:30) but there was Teresa waiting for us. We also visited Glasson Village Restaurant, very close to the B&B, and it was superb More

This B n B was conveniently located for us as we travelled across Ireland towards County Mayo. The rooms are good,everything you need in them, and the breakfast is good too. (I loved the scrambled egg with smoked salmon!) It is easy to walk into Glasson where there is plenty of choice of places to eat. More

We made reservations the night before, and specified what time we would be arriving the following day. When we arrived Teresa, our hostess, seemed a bit annoyed by our arrival. The house is clean and the bedrooms were nice. You have to ring a bell to speak with either host, and don't expect fresh tea or snacks. There is a... More

We were not sure where to eat the first night but Theresa recommended a couple of places and even rang and booked us a table. I... More

I traveled with my parent. It was our first time staying in a Irish B&B. It will not be our last. The house was spotless and we were looking after very good. The breakfasts were freshly cooked and had a good choice. The area has some fine bars and restaurants and a golf course 2Km away. We stayed 2 nights... More

The landlady insisted that I leave a family wedding dinner at 6pm to collect the keys. She would not let us collect the keys at 9pm as we had requested. Having paid €20 on a taxi to collect the keys I arrived and waited for 5 minutes for her to answer the door. When she arrived she was very gruff.... More

good location, good breakfast. a lot of attention to detail. however, uncomfrotable greeting from the owner, whose welcome seemed very forced, like we were disturbing her. a couple of little things made me feel like i was a nusisance rather than a valued customer. For example, she asked what time we want breakast. we asked what time it is served.... More

My husband and I had a one night stay with a friend at this lovely B&B. We arrived early but were shown to our comfortable clean rooms with a smile. The breakfast was superb and we couldn't fault the service. We ate in both of the local pubs which were both walking distance and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. We would... More

My girl friend and I had the pleasure of staying here in June this year. We were attending a wedding in the nearby Wineport Lodge hotel. We received a very warm welcome for the hostess, who accommodated us with an early check in so we could change and prepare for the wedding. The room was spotless and the bed very... More
