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.

Wonderful stay in Bunratty

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard B&B. Despite having the place to ourselves, the friendly staff went out of their way to make sure we were fully taken care of with a huge breakfast spread. The beds were very comfortable but most of all, the friendly staff made it a memorable experience we will never forget.

We loved our stay at The Courtyard. It was a rejuvenating stay for us - light and airy, beautiful artwork. Very clean and comfortable. The sitting room was a beautiful room with a high trussed ceiling and a large fireplace (no fire). We enjoyed one of the best nights of our vacation there. Last but not least, the breakfast was made to order and delicious!
