Mary was a wonderful hostess! Her hospitality was unmatched and her cooking was delicious. Our room was clean and comfortable. We cut our visit short by a day, only because it was off the beaten path and quite far from where we had plans booked. If I had things to do specifically in the area I would definitely stay again.

Joe was really such a great host, also offering helpful tips on traveling in Ireland. Breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable. I travel a lot and stay in many places but the hospitality, facilities and friendliness were amazing. The Courtyard is a short walk from the downtown area, which is very quaint with pubs, restaurants and the Bunratty Castle.

Nice, clean room and Joe is a super welcoming host. We arrived about 7 in the morning after getting off our overnight flight to Shannon. It’s about a 10 minute drive from the airport. We paid for an extra night to ensure we could go straight to the B&B and get into our room. Joe greeted us at the door and offered breakfast when we arrived. We will definitely stay again if we ever come back through Shannon.

Rooms were good size and clean but could use a decor refresh. Blackout curtains and new bed pillows would be a good start. Breakfast was great and it was conveniently located to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and several restaurants all within walking distance. I would stay here again if I’m back in this area. If
