I will start with the negatives and end with the positives. We checked in at 9pm that night after having dinner at The Thatch (very good restaurant!) in town and when we get there the own lady started yelling at us saying that we were checking in too late. She said we had been waiting for us since 4pm and... More

I had the pleasure of staying in Emmet House recently and felt I had to post a review. This guest house scores highly for both the outstanding standard of accommodation as well as the wonderful welcome and level of service on offer. The room was extremely well appointed with a very comfortable double. Crisp linen, flat screen tv, tea and... More

We chose to stay in Birr as our travel plans had us getting in late to Dublin, and we wanted to see Clonmacnoise. Evelyn was so warm and accommodating, and our room with the gorgeous four poster bed overlooking the square was the perfect way to end our day. Our favorite part was the hot water bottle tucked in the... More

Just one example of the caring help guests are treated to: we were road tired and ready to collapse upon arrival. Evelyn saw that and went on her own initiative to speak to the local traffic cop to make sure he wouldn't give us a ticket tho the free parking hadn't begun yet. ;) It looks like a palace, tea...

If you stay here you will see why all the revues are so good. The house has been decorated beautifully. Our room had a super view overlooking the town square in Birr. The room TV had more channels than I can remember anywhere in Ireland. Birr is a scenic midlands town. If you go during the Vintage week there will... More
