“Bit disappointing and more remote than expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2007

We stayed in this B&B recently and while our stay was ok overall, we were slightly disappointed with this establishment. We'd read from other reviewers that it was a bit out of town, but we didn't expect it to be as remote as it was. It was a good 20 mins from Cashel and at least half of the route was on very narrow country roads. On our arrival we were shown to our room, which was neat and tidy and nicely decorated albeit a bit old-fashioned. The downside to the room was that as the weather was appalling, we had to spend more time in the room than envisaged and as the TV in the room was only about 14inches and in the far end of the room, it made for near impossible viewing of the only 4 channels available. We were looking forward to a nice homemade breakfast the next day, but the breakfast wasn't nice. The fruit bowl had a lot of over-ripe fruit in it and the "irish fry" was lukewarm and some of it was inedible. There also seemed to be "mouse droppings" in the corner of the breakfast room which was very off-putting. For a B&B, there was a few "do's and dont's" on the bedroom door i.e. take shoes off at main door, breakfast between 8.30 am - 9am and no hot water before 7am, which made it feel a bit regimental and restrictive.

“Nice farm house”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2007

Beautiful home on a farm. A bit out of town, but not too far. Excellent breakfast and very nice room.

“Lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2006

people found this review helpful

Absolutely grand. This place could be a museum. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The rooms are beautiful and the setting is great. The owner is very kind and helpful, giving us suggestions on places to eat, where to go and when, etc.
The house does not accept children. Although we do not have any, I was still originally put off by this, I just don't like places that don't accept children. However, after staying there I would agree with the decision. You wouldn't take children to a posh restaurant either--and if you did they wouldn't enjoy it.
Breakfast was very good, fresh eggs and toast along with homemade brown bread.
The location is out in the country, so don't plan on walking to it, but if you have a car, and want to see the area, I would recommend this.
Also, it is worth spending the night here to get up early and the Rock because it gets very crowded. There is lots of stuff to do in the nearby towns also.

“The most tranquil setting for a B&B imaginable”

The Carron House just a few short miles outside of Cashel is just a bit of heaven. It is located on a working dairy farm and the grounds are groomed to garden status. The beautifully decorated interior could serve for a photo spread in any magazine. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I can't say enough about our wonderful hostess Mrs. Mary Hally; she was very sweet and welcoming. I will definately stay there again.
