good breakfast

Kate our host was fantastic. Very upbeat and full of"the oldchat".

Possibly a little closer in to Carrick but it is really a short, easy drive.

There was NOTHING that I didn not like

Everything was excellent. From the amazing breakfast, which would have put many 4 star hotels to shame, to the beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable rooms. The location was excellent, only 5 minutes drive from the vibrant town of Carrick upon Shannon, and yet set in a very peaceful and scenic location with plenty of space for parking. There is plenty to see and do in the local area, and some spectacular views to admire, such as during the scenic drive around Lough Allen, which starts from Drumshanbo, around 15 km away. Also a number of good restaurants to eat at in Carrick, such as the Oarsman, and Vitto's, and we also liked the Blue Way Lodge in Leitrim village. Finally, the landlady Kate was so helpful and informative, including recommending where to eat. She just could not do enough for us and it was just like staying with family, or possibly better. She was always making sure that we had what we wanted, even leaving a tea tray out for when we came home late at night. She really made our holiday something special, and we would certainly want to stay there again if we decided to visit the area another time.

The weather! It did actually rain a bit from time to time, and then quite a lot during the last couple of days, but it was actually much better than the forecasts we were looking at beforehand, so it was not really a problem, and it is Ireland after all. Even if you did decide not to venture out, Kate's lounge is a really nice comfortable room to relax in as we did most nights when we came in, just to unwind a little bit before bed.

Kate is absolutely the perfect hostess. She welcomed us warmly and was only concerned that we had everything we needed. She was also knowledgeable and helped us go in the right direction on my ancestor search.

Nothing! The B & B is beautiful and tastefully decorated. We felt very much at home.

A warm welcome by the owner of an outstanding property. Super accommodation in a carefully restored Georgian home with a fabulous breakfast!

Absolutely nothing

Outstanding Breakfast, location 20 minute walk from town, which we didn’t need to do as the super host dropped up there.

beautiful B&B. very interesting and beautiful old house with lots of character. the breakfast was absolutely delicious! the bed was very comfortable. our room had a very nice en suite bathroom. the host was very friendly and helpful.

you need a car or taxi to get out to this location from Carrick- on-Shannon
