Had a fantastic 3 nights at Mary’s beautiful b&b which is set in the most stunning location. Mary could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable, breakfast was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. The weather was fantastic so we were able to sit and relax in the lovely courtyard. We’ll be back!

Top notch service!
The stay at Ballinacourty House was awesome. Mary is a great host and a fantastic cook for breakfast. She was also very helpful with suggestions of things to do around the area. We were lucky to see some traditional Irish music in a castle. It was great! Thanks Mary.

Mary was an amazing host. The room was cozy with a comfy bed. The property is in a country setting and very picturesque. We also ate dinner at their restaurant. The food was amazing. As was a breakfast the next day. Highly recommend both the B&B and the restaurant.

A Warm & Cozy Spot to Visit
What a wonderful trip to Ballinacourty House! This B&B is exceptional in every way. From the time we checked in until the time we checked out everything about this inn was better than found in most great hotels. When greeted by Mary you know right away that your stay is going to be something out of the ordinary. The restaurant at the B&B was another surprise as Mary's husband, Ronan produces some of the most delicious meals and wonderful desserts. This is a family operation as you will also encounter Mary's sister and niece in the restaurant. And what a warm and welcoming Irish family this is! You will not be disappointed with your stay and I will say that this is some place we will definitely return to in the future.

This place was fabulous. Beautiful courtyard. Just wish I had time to sit in it and enjoy my coffee. We arrived at 8;30 pm and was greeted by Mary who was VERY courteous and friendly. She took us to our room and asked if we needed anything. We had a fantastic meal at the restaurant, then breakfast next morning This is a wonderful place to stay. Peaceful and quiet also. I highly recommend this place to anyone

This was the best property I stayed in Ireland, surpassing my hotel in Dublin and Gallway and the B&B I stayed in up north. The room was picture perfect and comfortable. Breakfast was great and the restaurant on location was superb. The mixed business of having a caravan park meant that there was a washing machine and dryer to use as well. While the location is rural and very quiet, it is a short distance to other locations. The only suggested improvements would be to have a single course option in the restaurant during the week (the portions are so big!) and to have a shelf in the ensuite shower so you don't have to bend over to get the shampoo etc I accidentally kept turning off the shower when I did so, but maybe I need to lose more weight than I think!

Find some peace in the woods
We stayed overnight on our way thru the area. We should've stayed here longer. Host was great. Amenities for 2 adults and 2 teens were good for 1 room w/bath option we took. They seem to have a campground attached to the property and the families staying were having lots of fun and were respectful of the neighbors. It's in the woods and very peaceful. I'd stay 2-3 nights and get to know the area as you see the nearby Rock of Cashell.

Ballincourty House - recommendation
The B&B part was comfortable and the owner very accommodating. They have a restaurant in addition to the B&B which is a part of the older home/structure. Our meal was amazing! One of the best we had in Ireland.

Nice Place to Lay your Head
Ballinacourty was the ideal spot to return to after a day of explring the country side and all it had to offer. Breakfast was superb. The grounds and our room were exactly how we pictured them to be. We dined in the attached restaurant and found the menu extensive and the food brilliant. The restaurant staff were delightful, efficient and hardly seen but appeared when required.

Great Stay!
Mary is an amazing hostess. We arrived late without dinner reservations and she got us into their restaurant even though they were very busy. It was a very nice b and b in a rural area. Breakfast was also very good! She was willing to work with my husband who has food allergies as well. Overall it was a great stay in a beautiful area.

Great views and peace and quiet.
Once we found the small hotel we weren't disappointed (be careful with the Sat Nav best just follow the signs!) The area was beautiful and the owner greeted us with a wonderful Irish welcome. The room was clean and comfortable if a little basic as there was not much space and could well be quite hot in the summer with only a small opening window. The food in the restaurant was very good and good value for money as to be honest you are pretty much a captive audience if you don't know the area. The breakfast was included, it was delicious all home cooked and locally sourced produce but make sure you don't fill up with cereal if you're going for cooked as you will be presented with an ample potion! I would certainly recommend this small private hotel.

A true hidden gem out in the countryside and well worth the trip. We LOVED this place. And the restaurant was out of this world. Make sure to go for a walk in the surrounding countryside.

Hübsche Unterkunft in einem alten Gemäuer mit liebevoll angelegten Innenhof und angrenzendem kleinen Campingplatz. Haben abends ein sehr gutes Essen im hoteleigenen Restaurant genossen. Unsere Zimmer waren gemütlich, die Betten sehr bequem, einzig die Bäder könnten ein kleine Renovierung vertragen. Aber im Großen und Ganzen top und empfehlenswert.

Tolle Unterkunft - jederzeit gerne wieder
Mary ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin. Das B&b ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Da wir zu einer kühlen Jahreszeit vor Ort waren, wussten wir es sehr zu schätzen, dass eine super Heizung zur Verfügung stand. Dusche ist klasse (einfache Bedienung, groß und 1A Wasserdruck). Das Frühstück war ebenfalls ganz fantastisch. WLAN hat wunderbar funktioniert. Wir würden die Unterkunft auf alle Fälle weiterempfehlen.

Das B&B liegt total auf dem Land, ohne etwas in der Nähe. Es hat ein Restaurant das uns gut gefallen hat mit gutem Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis. Die Dusche war leider so eng, daß man nur mit Schwierigkeiten rein kam. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit wunderbarem, frischen Orangensaft.
