Quiet country retreat near Adare
Lovely hosts, everything clean and tidy in house and room; great breakfast. Location is a tad remote, but that makes it a tranquil place with minimal road noise. Recommend arriving before dark.

Lovely place. Not the best location
Very nice room and breakfast was amazing. You need to drive there which we did not know so it was not the best location if you don’t have a car.

Hi Alana, Thank you so much for your kind comments, much appreciated. I know you enjoyed your trip out to the countryside, but without public transport it is difficult, We were pleased to be available to drive you back to the Village to make your next journey. I sincerely hope you had a great time and will one day return to Ireland. Jennie and Michael.

Absolutely loved our stay here!
We were passing through on a whirlwind trip of Ireland so we only got to stay one night. Jennie and Michael greeted us with coffee and homemade baked goods and took the time to sit down and chat with us. They made us feel very welcome and at home. The room was clean and comfortable. It was explained to us that water pressure could sometimes be a little low if multiple people were using it since they are on a well. Our showers were fine with plenty of hot water and pressure. We were staying in the room furthest from the wifi router so our signal was very weak but wifi did work in the public area. This was just a little inconvenience which was out weighed by all the positives of staying here. We also liked having a safe easy place to park our rental car. In some small towns the overnight parking can be difficult.

Robert & Robin. We were so pleased to have you stay with us on your whirlwind tour of Ireland. We felt so relaxed in your company and appreciate your courtesy and friendliness. It is always a bit anxious when people are coming to stay in our home, particularly, as it is our family home, not purpose built , therefore, when we receive kind and relevant comments, it makes it all the more rewarding to welcome people from all over the world to our rural environs. We wish you both every happiness in the future and sincerely hope you have a wonderful time down in West Cork and wherever your travels may take you. Please call us if you are in this area again and a CUPAN TAE will be ready for you. Take good care. Kindest regards. Mike and Jennie

An overnight stay on the way from the west coast to Dublin, the accommodation was clean and comfortable with a tasty breakfast. A quiet rural location yet having easy access to a range of food sources in Adare. Jennie and Mike were welcoming and understanding of our needs. It is an ideal location to explore the Irish Midlands.

Comfortable room and welcoming hosts
This B & B is really nice. Jeanny and Michael are wonderful hosts and the rooms are very comfortable. The only thing that could be a bit annoying to some people is the low water pressure for showers but this is because of their location in the country side (water from a well). Still, in my opinion, everything else (warm welcome, comfortable room, delicious breakfast and beautiful location) largely makes up for this very minor inconvenient. I definitely recommend this B & B and wish to go back in the future.

Quaint Getaway
Jennie and her husband were very friendly. Stay was good, however, didn't realize that the room wasn't paid for as I had provided my credit card information. I would recommend staying here just be prepared to pay in full at the end of your stay, with cash only.

Nice and warm welcome by Jennie
Jennie welcome us with utmost warmth and lovely smile amid the pouring rain... it was so sweet. She greeted us with tea and home-made cakes (which we took away as snacks on the trip - reminded us the sweet smile of Jennie!) Very tasty and fresh breakfast, made whole-heartedly. The location is a bit remote. But only that allows us to feel the real country house in Ireland. We saw cows milking in the morning! Beautiful knitting and bedding. Toilet is a bit small but that does not bother us. All in all a nice and warm BNB!!! thanks Jennie !

Fiona & Family, Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was a delightful experience to meet you and family. We too enjoyed sharing our home with you and only hope that you will return to Ireland and to Hillcrest, where a "CUPAN TAE" will be waiting for you. We are enjoying a very nice spring, with all the cows grazing the surrounding fields, with their new born calves and everything in full bloom. Kind regards, Jennie and Michael.
