Welcome to the County Arms, located in the heart of Ireland, in the beautiful heritage town of Birr, the perfect location to discover all the Midlands has to offer.

Hotel was beautiful. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We arrived early and asked was the room ready. We were told that it could be at a charge of €25. On payment of the money we were handed the keys and were told the room was ready. One suggestion I would make is to put some water in the room. There was a jug and two glasses a fridge but no water.

Offering a garden and garden view, Lily's Place - up to 4 persons is set in Birr, 37 km from Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre and 40 km from Dun na Si Heritage & Genealogical Centre.

Host was quick to respond . Check in was made very easy for us. Host was very helpful. Appreciated all of the small touches. The host really thought of everything- coffee/ tea/ breakfast options/ condiments and even wine. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was spotless also. Very close to the town of Birr. We were within walking distance to the centre. Will definitely stay again and would highly recommend. Good value for money too.

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Townsend House Guest House is a guest house situated in a historic building in Birr, 34 km from Cross of the Scriptures.

What really made my stay so good was the fact that the Guest House also had a restaurant . The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and accommodating . I also was very pleased that Mark, the owner, was able to provide a packed lunch and filled my flask with coffee ! Breakfast at hotels can be hit or miss but here the breakfast, an Irish fry, was obviously just cooked to order and had not been lying around drying out !

Dating back to 1209, this impressive Gothic castle is set within a stunning 650 acres of parkland and forests.

The setting of Kinnitty Castle is truly out of this world — a dramatic and enchanting location that instantly transports you back in time. Nestled in stunning surroundings, the castle exterior and grounds are picture-perfect.

    Birr is a lovely town - we visited family and friends and spent some time exploring the town. We visited Birr Castle and gardens, which are spectacular. We were however disappointed that we could not visit the castle itself as it is a private residence. The town is very tidy and people are friendly.

    We visited the castle grounds which were excellent and much better than we expected. Town centre has everything and reasonable cafes. Lots of pubs but then it was Ireland! Restaurants a little harder to find. Walks and good quiet cycling on your doorstep or a short drive.

    Visit the castle. You could around the grounds for hours. Lovely science museum in the castle. Lots of shops. Park and walk around it’s busy for driving. Pay your parking ticket wardens around all the time. Didn’t have time to investigate it further. We had all our food a Dooley’s it was fabulous.

    Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history.

    Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history. The period houses all around are stunning. Castle tour is highly recommended. Lot's to see and do there. Nolan's pub was very welcoming and a great pint to be had. Kelly's bar is great for food and old fashioned Irish atmosphere and pint of Guinness.
