We were greeted with a toasty warm wood stove going, and Els right away brought out some tea and cookies, which we enjoyed by the fire while reading their many books about Ireland and the local area. The lodge is very tastefully decorated, without all of that stuffy Victorian pink lace and doily decoration you can typically find in a... More

I booked here for our family of five following the good reviews on tripadvisor in two rooms at the end of August beginning of September for three nights. Good Points Peter the guest house owner was very friendly, informative and helpful ie: spending time with our son showing him how to improve his guitar playing. The rooms and communal areas... More

Hello and thanks for taking the time to write the review. I'm truly sorry that Els wasn't in good form when you arrived. We had had an incredibly busy couple of months and as Els need a new hip and has other problems - well she can sometimes get a bit down. Judging by the other reviews she does manage... More

Many thanks for taking time and effort to write a review. I find it especially heartening that you work in tourism and remain so positive about Glenribbeen - That's really great to be judged by a peer - and brill that we 'scored well'. As for the breakfast - that really is where we believe we can shine. I'm always... More

Peter and Els are wonderful people and right from the moment we met them, I knew we made the right choice of a place in Lismore. Their home is in a beautiful setting a short distance from the town of Lismore and quite an experience with gardens, hens, two wonderfully friendly dogs and within an easy walk to a river... More

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to write. I'm again very happy you highlighted the breakfasts - Els will be thrilled. She feels she's the 'below the stairs' and doesn't get the limelight. But of course she's the power behind the throne. Happy too that you mentioned the BBQ - so few people make use of it though we... More

Thanks Peter and Els for a most memorable stay at your wonderful home. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Peter, I really enjoyed all your insights about the local history and of course giving us a concert of your family's music... Next time, I want to hear YOU play! Els, your wonderful cooking spoiled us. It was all... More

Situated just off the main road between Cappoquin and Lismore but well sign posted. Very convenient for visit to Lismore (Castle). The room was "rustic" but quite comfortable.The highlight was the house special breakfast recommended by Geet and apparently a recipe developed by Peter (our hospitable hosts). A baked egg concoction with the balance of spices to deliver a delightful... More

Very nice and lovely place near the blackwater river (walking distance). Els' breakfast is the best we ever had in Ireland. You have to try Peter's scones. They are wonderful. We can recommend the twin room. It has a very large and beautyful bath room. You have to visit Ballyn garden in Lismore. It is a very old and beautyful... More

Great (quiet) spot for a bit of laid-back relaxation. We (a mate and I) came for the last day of the salmon fishing on the Blackwater but ended up staying for a few days extra. The breakfasts are THAT good. + we got to borrow (free) the Canadian canoe for a trip on the river this morning. Fan-tastic. Els runs... More
