We enjoyed our stay at The Maltings in Birr because of the friendliness of the owner and the location. It was pleasant to find a message on check-in and the help we received throughout the stay. The breakfast was in a wonderful room that had a view of the small river that flows beside the inn. Walking distance to the... More

We agree with the previous reviewers, The Maltings is great, historic place. When we were there on September 21, 2011 they were remodeling the entrance area with very attractive stone work. The setting is wonderful- right on the river and almost in the shadow of the castle. We would definitle stay there again. More

We stayed in The Maltings for 2 nights, we really enjoyed our stay. The guest house is very central & only minutes from the Castle and town. The rooms were very spacious and clean and we got a fantastic nights sleep as it was really peaceful. The breakfast was served in a lovely room overlooking the river & there was... More

Stayed here with my entire family, plus cousins, covering 9 rooms in total. The rooms were very big and clean. The view of the river through the room was lovely. Service was very good, and I will definately be going back. More

Can only concur with most previous reviewers: The Maltings, more guesthouse or small hotel than classic B&B, offers good accommodation at a very reasonable price in a historical building in a quiet setting alongside a small river; the reception is friendly, rooms are spacious and clean, and the breakfasts ample. The castle grounds (chief sight) as well as the various... More

You can walk to restaurants, the town, the Castle gardens--all a few steps away. Birr itself is in the heart of Ireland and a great base for day trips to many sites. The... More

I've been coming here for years. It's quiet, clean and comfortable. Maeve is great and will help you with whatever you need. Breakfast by the stream is a terrific way to get the day started. Walk everywhere (except you'll need a car to get to Birr Golf Course or the Thatch.) The Maltings is a special unique place with atmosphere.... More

I stayed here in November with my sister and one of my friends. We wanted to go to Wicklow and spend the night there, but the weather and roads were awful, and so we didn't make it to Wicklow. We ended up in Birr because it was close to Dublin where we had to be by the next day and... More

The Maltings B&B/Guesthouse is located beside a little river, so you eat your breakfast to the sight of little ducks swimming past and to the sound of water rushing over the nearby weir. The room we stayed in was large, comfortable and immaculately clean. The breakfast was excellent with a full range of different options. The B&B is located beside... More
