    Long Lost Traditional Irish Pub Stay

    Nothing to dislike. Nostalgic and exactly what it says it is - a historical pub and former home converted into rooms above. We found a wee bit of friendly noise and a shared bathroom added to its charm. (In case of emergency, multiple toilets were available downstairs).

    Thankful for the gracious hospitality, history lesson(s) and for accommodating our special circumstance (elderly dog) during Glin Castle Open Day. We also appreciated the private sitting room and close proximity to the river. Killarney is little more than an hour away.

    The family that owns this B&B are very gracious and welcoming. The rooms offer a great night sleep and breakfast is offered in the morning. Location is close to the ferry.

    We got here around 10:30pm and check in was easy. Walked into the bar and we were greeted by the host. We were taken to our room which was in a lovely house across the street. Once we dropped off our bags, we went back to the bar for some drinks. It was a great Irish pub experience. The next morning we walked a bit around town. The host were very friendly and helpful

    The room was right above a pub and hence was extremely loud even at late night. I enquired with the staff whether they had another room available and he rudely replied that I knew that the room was in a pub so what was I expecting from it. He said he would turn off at least the music but he actually turned it on again when I went back in the room. These rooms should not be rented or, if rented, it should be clearly stated that it is impossible to sleep at night.

    We met the owner at breakfast and was very kind and gave us nice tips on places to visit.

    The room wasn’t very clean, could do with replacing the bedding. Thursday night there was loud music and singing till 1/1:30ish, the room I was in you could have heard everything in the bar. Definitely no sea view.

    The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was grand.

    Breakfast was not excellent like reviews said. It was self serviced sandwich and tea making and we had an awful night's sleep due to the rooms being over a very busy and loud pub! And despite the smoking area out the back customers stood on street below our window at top of their voices. Continued to do so waiting for taxis until almost 4am!

    The bed was uncomfortable, and small (double) the mattress old and sloped at the sides, the bedding was old and faded, the towels were old, small and thin. The velux windows had blinds but there were other windows with no coverings so early morning light disrupted any sleep. ‘Bathroom’ was in need of a good clean No food available at the pub associated with property, arrived at supper time, only options in the town were a Kebab shop or Chinese takeaway. Breakfast offering was sliced loaf, packeted ham and packeted cheese with Instant coffee.

    We didn’t like anything about the property. It is advertised as having a ‘Private en-suite’ - the shower and loo were shared with another bedroom with no means of locking the door from the bathroom. The glass doors from loo to both bedrooms was a little unsettling.

    Rooms over the bar were noisy.

    Breakfast was adequate and the facility was not modernized. Advertised as a bed and breakfast but breakfast was continental, not an Irish breakfast. Reviews claimed to be a good family B&B but my family was separated as the facility had rooms across the street from each other.

    It was exactly what we were looking for.

    We chose to stay over a pub for 2 nights to experience local ambience. It was wonderful the host shared stories of the town of glin. The pub has been in the family for five generations. The patrons were awesome friendly . We saw our first hurling competition and singing and laughter throughout!
