Very peaceful, it was lovely to lie and listen to the birds.
The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We had a good night's sleep!
Simon was very friendly and made us feel extremely welcome in his home.

Amazing unusual more then 200 years old house with lot of common space on the ground floor (dining area with bar, kitchen and two tea rooms). The host Ross was more than helpful and welcomed us with his dog. The house is located in the tidy heritage town with an great local pub "Morrisey's" just a 5 min by walk from house. I can fully recommend this accommodation.
Offering a restaurant, Ashbrook Arms Townhouse and Restaurant is located in the small town of Durrow.

Lovely heritage town, well kept with some nice eateries and pubs. Some nice walks to be had. Our stay wasn’t long enough to see everything so we will be back again. We had excellent coffee and scones in the Gallic Kitchen. Next time we look forward to sampling lunches
Beautiful large house, perfect for a group get together in the lovely town of Abbeyleix. Everything is provided for in the house, beds are super comfy, lots of hot water, warm and cosy rooms, open fire, great cooking facilities. Abbeyleix has a delious bakery, very welcoming bars, plenty of food choice and a glorious bog walk. Ross tye host is very welcoming and happy to help with any request. We loved it and will be back.
The rooms are clean, beautiful, comfortable and well designed. The owners of Blackhill Woods are super welcoming and you feel right at home immediately! The gardens are the perfect place to sit and read a book, and the local town of Abbeyleix is only a 5 minute drive away. Breakfast is served to your room, with fresh fruit and gorgeous bread and yoghurt. I would highly recommend Blackhill to anyone.
The staff at the front desk were wonderful. We had a hiccup with the B & B that we had booked, and booked the last 2 rooms at your hotel, and were tired and frustrated when we arrived. The front desk agent (sorry cannot remember her name) was helpful, and when we came back down to ask for fans, she went looking for them herself, and delivered them to our rooms.
A wonderful, small, cozy hotel with its own kitchen and outdoor area. Clean rooms and interior are pleasantly impressive. Special thanks for cleanliness and order in the kitchen! Friendly host and staff. We were in this hotel for the first time, but now we know that we will return there again. Thank you for the atmosphere and an amazing rest!
nice night away just prior to x mas
food lovely and desserts too compliments to Chloe who does the desserts.
bar staff waiting staff OK but maybe bit more interaction with customers as a recommendation...
cosy warm reception area and ideal from a night away with local bars near by also
Loved staying at Preston House. Preston House for me was the perfect refugee only a few blocks away from the beautiful center of Abbeyleix. Ross is an exceptional host, making his guests feel welcome
and at home. The building is stunning.
This is a gorgeous location and the bed, surroundings, and the proprietor are all incredibly inviting and very comfortable and relaxing! This may be the best place I've stayed in all of Ireland and certainly through Booking.com.
This hotel is a beautiful and quiet place surrounded by nature. The staff member that greeted us was very friendly. The room was very clean, and I loved the healthy breakfast. I woke up feeling refreshed after the stay.
Staff very friendly and helpful and the location being so near to Portlaoise was excellent. We ate in Papa Noni's the first night and were delighted that such a gem of a restaurant is located so close to the hotel.
The hotel was useful as it was near our family. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The ongoing renovations were kind of a put off (painting in front entry) but the stay was suitable.
Breakfast was delicious and warm when it arrived at the table. Staff very polite and friendly. Lovely hotel and great value for money. Evening bar staff very helpful, funny and very courteous
Lovely House in a beautiful quiet location but just down the road from Abbeyleix which has amazing places to eat. Only a short stay but definitely recommend. Simon was a lovely host also. 🙏🏼
Beautiful house, ideal for a night in abbeyleix. Bramley and Morrissey's are a must visit also.
Ross is a great host and laid everything out very well for us. Will return
