Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the aesthetic. I was quite surprised our bed was in the form of a boat. It was a bit strange. Overall the accommodations were nice and clean

This was a great place to stay. It is located just beside the Birr Castle Estate on a nice quiet street. The hosts were warm and welcoming. They gave us tips on where to eat and places to see. The accomodation was comfortable with outdoor seating in the garden. I would highly reccomend it for a lovely place to stay in Birr.
Food is absolutely amazing! So fresh and so tasty. Sauna lovely and hot. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Right beside birr castle..definitely worth a visit there.

We stayed two nights while attending a wedding in Birr Castle.
It was perfectly located just outside the gates.
It was a lovely hotel, very comfortable and the staff were wonderful.
They were very accommodating and had no problem with my small dog staying.
Lovely cafe and shop also
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.
From the friendly welcome, good food , lovely outdoor spaces to the relaxing pool , everything was very good.
The hotel is ideally situated to explore Birr and it's environs . There are some nice walking trails about 40 min drive away and Birr castle is worth a visit.
The breakfast was good with a plentiful choice and great service.
The location, Birr is a lovely place to stay, so peaceful to walk around in.
Went to visit Birr Castle, paid for the tickets only to be told that the castle is closed, however lovely walks in the grounds.
