“A warm and wonderful home!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

The Ardmore House was our favorite B&B experience in all of Ireland. The proprietor was most gracious, friendly and made us feel a part of the household. Breakfast was wonderful, the accomodations extremely clean and comfortable. A highlight was the birds that nest along the eaves and in the trees of the beautifully groomed, blooming property. Yummy scones and tea were enjoyed after a long day's hike in the Slieve Bloom Mountains. The Ardmore House is a very special gem in the center of Ireland!

“Pretty good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

This was a nice B&B and Chris was a nice hostess. She was friendly and helpful but not always available.

The bed was comfortable and the room clean. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. We enjoyed our stay.

“A delightful place to spend my 35th birthday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

We came across Ardmore House on a whim when the places closer to Dublin were booked for Saturday night. We are so thankful that we did. We pulled into the iron gates and saw a picturesque home dating back to 1840. The gardens surrounding the home are incredible with beautiful flowers at every turn. Our hostess Christina, greeted us warmly, and had prepared fresh tea and scones to eat in the front room with a fire, for our arrival. She was very kind and offered us lots of suggestions of places to eat and visit as we traveled around her town. The rooms were spacious and clean with timeless furniture pieces - I felt like I stepped back in time, but had all the modern conveniences of today. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, yogurt, brown break, and anything else that you could ask for. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to stay in the heart of Ireland.
We ate in the next town over called Birr, and I have to say that I highly recommend Dooly's if you are looking for a nice pub environment for dinner.

Room Tip: call Christina in advance.

“Very comfortable, like I was staying with my Aunt.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2011

The area itself was just beautiful. The building was lovely & the owner has been outting a lot of work into renovating it. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and I felt very comfortable and at home.
