Birr is a lovely town - we visited family and friends and spent some time exploring the town. We visited Birr Castle and gardens, which are spectacular. We were however disappointed that we could not visit the castle itself as it is a private residence. The town is very tidy and people are friendly.

We visited the castle grounds which were excellent and much better than we expected.
Town centre has everything and reasonable cafes. Lots of pubs but then it was Ireland! Restaurants a little harder to find.
Walks and good quiet cycling on your doorstep or a short drive.

Visit the castle. You could around the grounds for hours. Lovely science museum in the castle. Lots of shops. Park and walk around it’s busy for driving. Pay your parking ticket wardens around all the time. Didn’t have time to investigate it further. We had all our food a Dooley’s it was fabulous.

Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history.
Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history. The period houses all around are stunning. Castle tour is highly recommended. Lot's to see and do there. Nolan's pub was very welcoming and a great pint to be had. Kelly's bar is great for food and old fashioned Irish atmosphere and pint of Guinness.

Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit.
Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit. We had dinner in a local bar/restaurant where the food was good and the staff were friendly. Birr is quite a small town and it can be visited over a two day period. It is also relatively close to the Slieve Blooms which is a good base for walking.

Birr is a nice small town with a lovely small park and river walk and a fabulous castle and grounds. Kinnity castle is a short drive away and the Slieve Bloom walking trails are worth a visit if you like hiking .
This B&B is in a great location in Birr center. It is a beautiful old town house, and has a very homely feel to it. We were welcomed by a lovely, friendly lady called Maureen. She very kindly drove us to the hotel where we were meeting friends. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was warm and clean. We didn,t have a cooked breakfast, but there was lovely fresh fruit and homemade muffins, cereal and yoghurts. I would return to this B&B and would recommend it.
The beds were really comfortable, and the room was perfect for our short stay
The hotel itself was clean, fresh, and tastefully decorated, and there was a really nice atmosphere there
The pool was amazing and so relaxing, a really welcome bonus
The young lady at reception was super, polite, and very helpful, as was the barman.
My only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer
I'm looking forward to staying there again
The Stables has a really great setting on a street with Birr castle gates on one end and church on the other 🙂 very welcoming staff and the service and breakfast were fantastic! The athmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable..would recommend for lunch in the courtyard or weekend stay🙂 Theres also a gorgeous crafts, clothing and homeware shop at the Stables too!
A Georgian guesthouse on a quiet avenue leading up to the entrance of Birr Castle. Good facilities with period charm and helpful staff. Great breakfasts and lunches. Location very central to Birr but quiet and away from the busy main street. Birr Castle is on your doorstep with lots of walks through the grounds and ornamental gardens.
Carmen is a wonderful hostess. She is kind and eager to share recommendations to travelers to experience her corner of the world, and she definitely elevated our stay in Birr. We learned about Hurling, the wonderful restaurant at which we at dinner, and an historic site on our way to our next stop. She is amazing.
The location is wonderful as you can walk around the corner to the castle and for food. The Main Street is walkable too. Our room was clean, beautiful and quiet. We loved the high quality teas and toiletries. Breakfast in the amazing dining room was a treat with excellent service and lot of choices.
Nice location off the main road in view of the Slieve Bloom mountains near Birr town. Welcomed by Carmel and offered fresh milk for the tea facilities in the room. Medium-sized room but good for the price. Warm and peaceful, very comfortable bed. Delicious healthy breakfast.
Brona was a wonderful host, and we had a very restful stay. The location is a short drive to Birr Castle and downtown, and Brona gave great lunch/dinner recommendations. Facilities were very clean, and the bed was so comfortable.
The room was spectacular!
Big and comfy, exactly as in the pictures and description.
We got a warm welcome, and had a tasty breakfast.
For those who tour around Birr - it is an excellent choice!
We will sure get back again.
lovely twin room, tastefully decorated, very centrally located just across from Birr castle, good choice for breakfast, lovely lounge area downstairs, and nice courtyard with outdoor seating.
Amazing stay at what I can only call a gem in Birr Town. Everything is just a walk away and the house is beautiful with everything needed. Host was also amazing 😊Will definitely return 😊
Very pleasant staff, Excellent breakfast. A very pleasant Georgian style building which is close to Birr Castle and many coffee shops in Birr and a short taxi ride from Leap Castle.
The room was very comfortable with an en suite bathroom and plenty of room. The accommodation was in a great location for the wedding that we attended and for easy access into Birr.
Location in town and the staff are second to none. The town is underrated as a destination as there are many golf courses nearby and a visit to the castle is a must when in town,
