Family of Three Loved our Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in the Bridgeview Farmhouse and Marian is a wonderful hostess. We traveled to the Farmhouse with our six-year-old daughter. Our room had two beds, so the space was tight, but it was very comfortable for a two-night stay. The house was clean and comfortable throughout. It's not a fancy place, but it's nice with basic amenities needed for a stay (including high-speed internet access). Imagine you had a kind Irish Aunt who invited you to stay at her house for a time (and cooked you wonderful Irish breakfasts every morning using locally sourced ingredients). That's what it was like staying at the Bridgeview Farmhouse. Some of Marian's family members live close by (including her two young granddaughters who were about the same age as our daughter) and they also helped out and were extremely nice. This home is in the country, so having access to a vehicle is a must. There is nothing within walking distance, but the views are really nice from the house. Be sure to ask Marian for tips on where to go (and how to get there). When we left, Marian gave us custom directions (ignoring Google Maps) to our next location and we enjoyed one of the nicest drives during our time in Ireland. Again, if you are looking for a high-end, fancy B&B, skip the Bridgeview Farmhouse. But if you are looking for an Irish experience in a clean, comfortable, and genuine Irish home (including decades of family pictures on the walls) this is your place! Thank you Marian!

We were lucky to spend two nights at this B&B. Marion is such a lovely and accommodating hostess! She brought us tea and homemade scones with homemade gooseberry jam on arrival. The room was very clean and peaceful. And her garden was absolutely lovely! The views across the water were stunning and we had such a peaceful time. Marion is a wonderful cook and took such great care of us! We even made a mistake and got lost trying to find the house (tip - use google maps, not Apple Maps!) and she was so patient and kind and guided us to the right spot. I can't say enough nice things about the house, the location, and Marion!

A truly welcoming stay at this B&B
Marian was lovely and welcomed us with a friendly greeting upon on our arrival. She provided tea and coffee and allowed us to get settled before showing us around. Each morning we were offered breakfast options and Marian even provided home made comforts that were delucious (scones, jam and marmalade). What she couldn't make herself she provided locally sourced (yogurts, cheese). The room was clean and comfy and the ensuite was a bath with a shower above it. Water was provided in the room and fresh towels each day. The views out of the window of our room and outside were stunning and its only a short drive to the local towns. We would highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely visit again.

Due to planning issues we arrived at 9:00 pm to the B&B. I had emailed Marion to let her know. She responded positively and had a key ready for us when we arrived. Although we didn't expect her to greet us at that time, she did and was very welcoming! She showed us to our room and offered us tea/coffee and a scone. The bed was comfortable and yhe room was quiet. In the morning she served us a delcious breakfast with cold and hot options all made by herself on a table by table basis so it was hot and fresh! The view from our room and the breakfast room was stunning! As it is a farmhouse it takes several backroads to get there, which one would expect, and is well worth the drive to get there! She was a delight to chat with even though she was busy and clearly loves to meet new people of different backgrounds! We would stay here again!

A Farmhouse to Remember
The stay at the farmhouse was amazing. I would highly recommend this to anybody. The innkeeper was remarkable and stayed in contact with me before we arrived to make sure that we were Aware of current conditions and making sure that if we needed assistance before hand. The room was an excellent condition. Very clean. And the view was amazing. Breakfast was served by the innkeeper in the morning and that was even more spectacular. I would highly recommend this place

This is a very cute little farm house run by a lovely woman who was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, including local produce and homemade scones. Dinner options and other local amenities are however limited as the farmhouse is off the beaten track. Spectacular views from the rooms though.

Great stay!
Had a lovely one night stay at Bridgeview Farmhouse. After welcoming us and getting us settled in our room, Marion made us some wonderful tea/coffee and scones that we enjoyed in the garden. She then called ahead to secure us a dinner reservation in Kinsale. We came back from dinner with some wine, and Marion quickly set us up with some wine glasses. The farmhouse is clean and the rooms are private. The view is beautiful! Our breakfast the next morning was made to order and delicious. Marion even offered to pack us some scones to to take with us when we were leaving. She went out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again, as well as direct friends and family to Bridgeview Farmhouse. Wish I was there right now!

Lovely area, very close to the sea. Very comfortable house and spotlessly clean. It's in a quiet locality with shops a short drive away. Lovely restaurant within a 4 minute drive. Breakfast was excellent and cooked freshly to order each morning. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Overall I am happy to recommend it and would stay there again.

As other guests have commented on, the choice at breakfast was very good. However, we did feel that our hostess should have had some help in the kitchen. We had to wait a while for drinks to be provided whereas in other guest houses we stayed in, fruit juice was available in the dining room for us to help ourselves whilst waiting for hot drinks. There was no provision of tea and coffee or a television in our room although these were provided downstairs with a supply of scones. We weren’t told until we arrived that payment had to be in cash as debit/credit cards weren’t accepted. Overall we felt that Bridgeview would benefit from some professional advice to bring it up to today’s standards.

Dear Guest Thank you for staying in our B&B and I am delighted to hear you enjoyed our breakfast which we are regularly complimented on. If I can just say that the majority of family run B&Bs do not employ help as we are very small businesses. I am sorry if you were inconvenienced by having to wait for drinks whilst your breakfast was being freshly prepared. We do not have TVs or tea & coffee facilities in our bedrooms as you correctly point out as we welcome interaction with our guests in our guest lounge. Our guests love the fact we have all these facilities and more are available to them in our guest lounge which they are encouraged to use and enjoy. We hope that you had no further trouble with your car and that the assistance both ourselves and the local garage provided ensured you enjoyed the remainder of your holiday. Kind Regards Marian

Marion goes the distance to ensure our needs are met : A text with exact directions/ much better than GPS!!! She presented us with an early breakfast that also became part of our lunch. My husband enjoyed a glass of Baileys Irish Cream. My first taste of it; may consider it with vanilla bean ice cream. Our room was just right: great sleep, great view of the Bridge ( our rooms name). Lily the dog got the pits and tummy rubbed with her tail thumping. WiFi excellent. Garden gorgeous. Would wish we could stay longer/return Dinner at the Pink Elephant; yummy $$$ but we were tired and ate light and affordable. A plus: close by with an awesome view of the bay/ harbor. Plus she’s a hostess bar none.

I stayed two nights here and it was really nice and relaxing. Awesome location and very peaceful. The owner, Marian, is an amazing host and goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable. I’m not a B&B person and I wasn’t expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the comfort and the amenities. The room was nicely decorated, updated and clean, with a great view and the breakfast was very tasty. There was even an adapter already in the room where I could plug in my American devices and WIFI signal was strong in the room. The only downside is that Marian cannot take credit cards so be aware you need to take enough cash. I would definitely recommend this place.
