This is a quaint bed and breakfast (although we did not realize breakfast was not included with our Expedia reservation until we arrived). Super convenient to Ballymaloe Cookery School and we enjoyed a short drive to the beach as well. There are very few dining options in the area and everything closed very early so keep that in mind when planning your visit. We drove 30 minutes to find a open restaurant/bar to eat dinner. Wonderful coastal drive back to Dublin through Waterford.

We did not have breakfast but regarding the stay, it was excellent. Due to the time of year (just after Christmas), there were very few other guests at the place, but I would expect it would be much more active in the Summer. No complaints.

Hillary was so helpful and accommodating. She found us taxis and a place to have dinner. She was also very patient and kind to us, even though we were a tried and hungry group of six. The house was beautiful and just what we wanted to see in the Irish countryside. The rooms were large and the beds were very comfortable. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Stayed 'room only' so not much to say about service. Quaint nicely furnished room but severe damp smell which I couldn't decide wasn't cat's pee! Everything else appeared clean and the bed was comfortable. Quiet.

Gorgeous converted farmhouse in beautiful settings

Beautiful classic old farmhouse property nicely renovated and updated into a wedding destination and B&B. Our large room was spectacular with vaulted ceilings and an antique poster bed. Wonderful antique furniture and decor, but with a modern bathroom. Lovely farmhouse setting with donkeys in a paddock and fruit trees in the backyard. Although we had to leave early, we saw the spectacular breakfast spread. Woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful.

The room and property were beautiful. The sat nav in the vehicle didnt take me to where the house was (thats the vehicle though, phone GPS got me there after turning on data) friendly staff, but be aware it is a country home, fellow arachnaphobics, i sadly discovered a rather imposing false widow in my room upon my return at 1am. Otherwise, it was lovely, i wish i couldve stayed longer to enjoy it but that sent me packing.

Reception was inadequate. When addressing our concerns the owner (?) did not introduce herself, got both my christian and surname completely wrong, was not interested in addressing our concerns so clearly the lack of customer focus came from the top. Breakfast not until 9 was clearly for their convenience not customers.
The bathroom had no window or exact fan

Lots of unrealized potential

The place is in a lovely area and looked promising as we arrived. I soon started expecting to find Gordon Ramsey and his Hotel Hell crew was filming. Minimal things one would expect were missing. For example, someone walked into our room without knocking, said, “Oh, I didn’t know anyone was in here” and walked out. She served our breakfast the next morning, so she wasn’t another guest.

The room was charming, but the dead bugs and old cobwebs in the skylights made it feel dirty. The bathroom was odd with no place for shampoo or soap in the shower and torn upholstery in a damp room. It added to the dirty feeling.

We had afternoon tea one day and breakfast the next. The food was not bad, but not good. There are certainly many nearby places that are better options. The service was friendly, but disorganized.

I wouldn’t return or recommend to visitors.

The property was set in the country and had a nice outward appearance. The staff did contact us a couple of times for our estimated arrival time and we told her both times the same thing. When we arrived there had been torrential rains and we were frozen. The room was cold and the woman at reception told us that the room would have heat but she wasn’t exactly sure when. There was a small electric heater we could control but the hot water radiators were out of our control. We closed the windows and went to dinner to wait for the heat. When we came back it had begun to warm up.
The room was large. The rug and couch were stained and worn. The bed and pillows were hard and lumpy. The sheets were not very good quality. There was a kettle, tea, and coffee. The room smelled a bit of hay and reminded me a bit of a barn. Since we couldn’t control the heat the room got stifling hot, then chilly again in the early morning hours and then stifling again. I cannot recommend this property for a hotel stay.

The location is great. Parking not near rooms and cars driving past my room woke me late and early.
It would be good if you could get some soup at night when the weather is bleak. Otherwise the places recommended to drive to were great.
First pub on list is permanently closed though.
Fleet of young Ladies serving were lovely. Breakfast was good. As was lunch. Thank you, I loved the decor.

Lovely hotel and grounds. It was a bit remote, you can't really walk to food - it's around 2 kms I guess which is fine, but that road is narrow and people drive fast on it. Easy to miss the turn into it - lots of \"Barnabow\" places on the road nearby. The goats and donkeys are fun. Room was a bit small.

Rapport qualité/prix bon, dans un lieu charmant

Séjour d'une nuit à Barnabrow House en revenant vers Cork. Le rapport qualité/prix est bon. Les lieux sont charmants et pittoresques. La chambre était immense avec une salle d'eau très qualitative. Literie excellente, très confortable. J'ai eu un peu de mal à trouver la Barnabrow House, mais en réalité c'est très bien indiqué avec de grands panneaux à l'entrée (il ne faut pas toujours suivre son GPS...). Les horaires de la réception sont, au moins sur le papier, un peu limités (arrivée avant 17h), mais cela convenait à mon programme. Je n'ai pas testé le petit-déjeuner qui n'était pas inclus dans le prix de la nuit.
