My wife and I had the best experience here. We have been to several B and AB’s over the years and Ivyleigh is the very best we have ever stayed at. The hospitality was only exceeded by the fantastic breakfast. Could not have been more friendly.

Lovely room and breakfast.
The breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. The room was large and comfortable, particularly the bed. The shower room was a little dated and tight but adequate. Dinah and Jerry were very welcoming.

I stayed in the Lemon Room, a cute little room for one person with en-suite. The breakfast was outstanding in a lovely formal dining room. The brown bread and homemade jams were so good. Warm rhubarb and strawberry compote was an unexpected treat. Seasonal I’m sure as I was told the rhubarb is grown on the property. I would look forward to a return visit.

Absolutely the best place I have stayed in a month in Ireland. It doesn’t look much from the outside but once you enter it is absolutely fantastic. The people running lot are outstanding. Breakfast is freshly made and over the top. It is spotless inside and rooms are very well equipped and spacious. Would give them seven stars if I could.

Ivyleigh House and the town of Portaouise
We couldn't have been more pleased! Ivyleigh House is a lovely Irish home with kind and thoughtful hosts. We enjoyed our time there and had a breakfast that was amazing. They even had fresh-squeezed orange juice and home-made bread. Everything was locally sourced and excellent. The room was perfect for my daughter and I on a trip around Ireland. We spent some time in the town and enjoyed popping in and out of shops and a delicious Italian dinner.

What can you say when you have silver service for breakfast. Home made bread leaf tea and such a warm atmosphere in the dining room. It was a pleasure to stay there.

If you're looking for a hotel style stay, don't come here. But if you're looking for a comfortable, clean, welcoming centrally located B&B with fabulous ,home cooked, locally sourced breakfasts then this is the place for you. Breakfast and hosts get 5stars.

Best Ever!
We wanted to see Ireland without staying in several places. IvyLeigh House was perfect. We rented a car but didn't want to drive in Dublin and pay the parking fees. The train station is a five minute walk from the hotel and took us just an hour to get to Dublin. Because of Ivyleigh's central location, we could go just about anywhere. The Rock of Cashel is a 45 minute drive. Cork is a day trip. As far as the hotel is concerned - we were spoiled! Breakfast was included and we could select what we wanted. The full Irish breakfast was the best I have ever had! The beds were comfy, our hosts delightful, and the place is walkable to Kelly's - a really good place for a steak. The only down side is that our room was upstairs and we had to haul our bags up a flight of stairs.
