Very accomodating and comfortable stay. :)
We came at the last minute for a funeral, and was delighted to have found this place nearby. The owner accomodated our early arrival so that we had time to change and go to the funeral mass. The location is amazing, the service and attention was amazing, and we would definitely stay there again. :)

Very nice place to stay. Overlooking the river and very quiet. Breakfast was cooked just like my wife likes. Not many good places to sit and have dinner. Plenty of things to do in the area.

Property was great, however we were under the impression that on-site restaurant and bar were open, they weren’t. Not much of anything in the area was open. I understand that things can affect business hours, but please indicate that on your website.

A relaxing place to stay.
Our hosts were excellent. They were friendly and helpful. Location was tranquil and secluded by the small harbour, with ample parking. My small dog was permitted to come to the bedroom with us and to stay in the bar area at breakfast, making life much easier. The surrounding area was stunning, with incredible sandy beaches with very few people. We spent a splendid time at Bunbeg House and enjoyed using it as a base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. The highlight for my friend - almost - was hearing a cuckoo early one morning!

Other hotels offer neorealism variety.
It is a located at lovely little harbor. After exploring the area we found other pub hotels that offered more things to do. We were one of the few guests at Bunbeg House and there was no pub or night activity. The owners were very nice and breakfast was good.

Forget about Bunbeg House
I arrived at Bunbeg House to be told they had double booked and had no room available for us even though we had booked over 2 months ago. I feel they preferred to give priority to cash paying customers rather than ones that book through Expedia. Very disappointing. Will not use your site again!

A lovely guest house set on Ireland’s smallest fishing harbour. Superb location. The evening bistro menu is a little limited but the food was tasty. Breakfast was excellent and overall a splendid place to stay.

Quaint hotel in a picturesque setting
We enjoyed our stay as it was very different to the bigger hotels we had stayed in around Ireland. It was in a lovely setting right on the tiny harbour in Bunbeg, but unfortunately there were no evening meals served as it was out of season, and we had to travel quite a distance to get something to eat. We were on the top floor - lovely view but a lot of stairs to negotiate with heavy cases! Bed was a bit hard for us, and the shower was small, and rather mouldy, but water pressure was good. The proprietors were lovely, and very friendly.

Bunbeg House a disappointment
There were so many little things that were wrong here. It was quite chilly when we were there, but no heat in the room. There were lightbulbs burnt out and a reading light over the bed completely broken. When I tried to call the desk for assistance with getting the TV to work, the phone was not working. Turns out, the owners had it discontinued to save money, which meant I had to walk down two flights of stairs and ring a bell to get assistance. The TV was extremely small (maybe 19" screen) hung high on the wall where you could barely watch it. Not that it really mattered that much, becuase the channel selection was rather pitiful. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. And one complaint I have, which was one I had everywhere we went, was the use of a heavy comforter/duvet cover on the beds with no top sheet. I have to question how many times those get laundered, as it would be extremely less convenient than changing and laundering a top sheet. But it also meant sleeping under a heavy cover or no cover at all, which can get rather warm.

The bed configuration does not match the description on the hotels.com website. The family room consists of one double bed and one single bed and they then add a portable single bed for a 4th person. It's a bit tight. The evening meal in their restaurant was very nice and was good value. The bar is very cosy. The location is very pictoresque, right on the harbour.
