Comfortable beds, friendly hosts, walking distance to The Rock and downtown Cashel (and the Buseirann stop to Cork or Dublin), but across the street from a cow field with placid bovines (stay on the concrete walkway or else!) with Hoar Abbey in the middle, which you wan wander through (free) as much as you'd like. The guests can use the... More

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids ages 10 & 13) stayed here. Great location. We had two rooms, next door to each other. A short walk to Hore Abbey and a short walk to The Rock of Cashel. Tom O'Brien, owner, was lovely. He was helpful and welcoming. This was a very family friendly place. More

My husband and I and our 4-year-old daughter stayed here for two nights. Big clean room, comfy beds, great shower, free Internet, two swings outside, friendly owners and sweet dog -- what more could a family want? No TV, so no option of early morning cartoons. Kitchen facilities helped us keep our food budget under control. Although the lodge isn't... More

We just got back from eight days in Ireland. Wanting to see the Rock of Cashel and visit an inland county, I looked for a cheap place to stay in the area. This turned out to be the highlight lodging of our trip. It's the off-season and we were one of two rooms occupied in the lodge. The rooms are... More

Great, Beautiful room. We got a private double with a nice shower. Best location of the whole trip. Right next to Hore Abbey, right in the backyard of the rock. Totally walkable to everything even in November. Cheap. Can pay them to do load of laundry. Best dog of the whole trip! More

I honestly cannot find anything wrong with this place. Great location just next to Hore Abbey and a 10 min walk to Rock of Cashel and downtown Cashel, cute dog, friendly owners, clean and warm and comfy dorm beds, clean and private shower stalls, nice kitchen, free Internet, just a really nice place to sleep in and admire, really!

The accomodations could not have been better. The rooms were spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. The proprietor, Brid O'Brien provided a wonderful breakfast. I would recommend this facility to anyone, especially great for families. Great location. More

We had been travelling for a week through Ireland and needing a place to relax. We did stay in the town of Cashel at a nice BandB below the rock, but while out for a walk we came accorss the most lovely lodge next to Hore Abby. This place is a hidden jem (maybe not so hidden) if you make... More

The "wow factor" here is amazing. I was traveling with in a group of 5 women (all family) with 4 being first-time visitors to Ireland. I organized the trip and found the reviews of O'Briens very helpful in choosing our first night's accomodations. We were certainly NOT disappointed and it set a great tone for the remainder of our holiday... More
