Perfect in every way
I can’t imagine a better country house experience - gorgeous landscape all around, truly spacious, beautifully appointed rooms that are both elegant and comfortable, a fine parlor with a crackling fire, and the most thoughtful, warm and welcoming hosts you’ll ever meet. Stop searching about and book yourself a stay - you’ll not find better!

More signage would be helpful.
The location was difficult to find. It did not appear on the GPS and there were no signs until we were right T the location. We had to stop 3 times to ask people directions.once we arrived however, everything was excellent.

Hi Jane, Many thanks for your feedback and so sorry you had such difficultly finding us, unfortunately due to stringent planning restrictions around signage with our local council we are not allowed to erect any more signage without incurring huge expense and going for planning permission etc however it is something that we are going to have to invest in for the betterment of the business and we are hoping to apply for planning early in 2019. In the interim I will try to advise all our guests that book to use google maps to find us as for some bizarre reason some GPS systems do not pick us up. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay when you got here. Many thanks for choosing to stay at Coolanowle.

weekend break near carlow
Excellent short break. The house is great and the hosts terrific. The room was big and comfortable. Nice shower, nice breakfast, great location next to an organic farm and in the middle of the countryside. Highly recommend. Wouldn't spend too much time in Carlow though!

Nice pleasant hotel with attentive hosts.👍
Overall a really nice place to stay with welcoming hostess. Gorgeous open fire with tea and scones to greet us. Excellent size room but found due to extremely cold night outside room was a bit cool at times. Great location, close to amenities or nice place to just chill.

Many thanks for your kind comments Alan, My apologies the room was a bit cool, I forgot to show you the thermostat in the room outside the bathroom where you could have turned up the heating if required. I am annoyed with myself now because it really was a cold night Saturday. Anyhow many thanks for choosing to stay with us and we would be delighted to possibly see you again for a return visit sometime in the future! Warm Regards,

Perfect.
I don't give five stars easily. It has to be the quintessential experience. This was it. Spacious and clean room, very friendly host, Out of this world Irish breakfast. There wasn't a single thing I would change here. We even arrived quite a bit late, but there wasn't a hint of irritation on the part of the host. Extremely helpful. Pristine setting. Perfect B&B experience.

This is a family-run dairy farm. The welcome was warm, they were very accommodating to all our needs and wants. A delightful, relaxing setting and well appointed home.
