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. 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.
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.
Great location. Beautiful Georgian guest house around the corner from a heritage Georgian Mall leading to Birr Castle and 5 minutes walk from the town centre. Fabulous gardens. All staff and owners Lorraine and Martin extremely friendly. For people who prefer the guest house experience this is ticks all the boxes
We were given a very quiet room at the end of a long corridor which I always really appreciate. It was spotless clean and the beds were comfy, we had a nice restful sleep. Furniture etc is quite outdated but I understand they're in the process of renovating the rooms. Overall, it's a really nice countryside hotel
It's a lovely hotel, with a friendly staff, in a very nice location. Gym & swimming pool, steam from, sauna & jacuzzi. Food was good & breakfast was good & varied. Family room had double & single bed, & a very decent size couch/ pull out bed. Really lovely lobby to sit in & take drink or tea & scones.
Great location close to the Castle with ample on street parking. The room was clean and comfortable with all modern facilities. Breakfast was outstanding and the decor in the cafe/dining room was great. Would happily recommend and if we're back in Birr again, we will return to The Stables.
This felt more like a boutique hotel than a B&B. The room was quaint and comfortable, the shared spaces on the ground floor were charming and the breakfast was delicious. The location is great - just opposite the castle and convenient if attending a wedding at a local hotel.
Fantastic guesthouse located right beside Birr Castle within walking distance of the main street. Fabulous throughout, room very clean and comfortable and really well appointed. Breakfast was excellent. Great attention to detail throughout our stay. Excellent value.
Lovely quiet location easy to walk to from Birr. Comfortable bed and the room was nice and clean. Carmel makes a sensational breakfast! Sausages were just the best and I loved her homemade scones too. Excellent value too, recommended.
very quaint, beautiful hotel, very close to being a B&B. The owners are very hardworking, nice, helpful and accommodating— which included insisting on taking our luggage up the stairs to our room. The Irish breakfast was delicious!
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.
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 😊
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,
