When we arrived, Adam came outside to greet us. He gave us a tour of our room and explained some features that were different than what we would expect in the USA. The room was comfortable, the breakfast items easy and delicious, and they were accommodating to our requests. The bed was comfortable, the room was a great temperature, and the privacy of the separate entrance was wonderful. We really loved our stay here.

Location seemed to be okay but I didn't spend a lot of time there. I was grateful that a market was nearby so that I could grab some food to eat in the room. Having a kettle in the room was nice.

    Great pit stop with welcoming hosts. Haven’t stayed in a proper BnB in years and made me remember why they are so good. Room was spacious and comfy bed, easy parking and close to the village with pubs and the castle. Nice to stay outside of the city centre as was very quiet. Great breakfast in the morning too.

    A great location in what felt like a traditional Irish night! Only a literal stones throw from the actual Blarney Stone - a perfect location to stay overnight. We walked a minute or so before we entered the castles. Though it’s above a pub it’s incredibly quiet in the rooms! Didn’t even hear our neighbouring rooms! We had a beautiful dinner, and even better breakfast, well worth the stay!

    we really enjoyed our stay and our hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. rooms were clean and comfortable, the house was in a great location close to Blarney village and castle and an easy drive to Cork, Kinsale and Cobh. Breakfast was generous, fresh and varied. We would definitely recommend. Thanks again for making us so welcome and for all the extra details especially over the New Year.
