Company information
We take great pleasure in welcoming guests to our home to experience the true essence of the Irish Bed and Breakfast experience. Since opening our doors in 1995, we have had the privilege of meeting many wonderful people from all walks of life, and we look forward to continuing this tradition for many years to come.
One of the highlights of our journey was hosting celebrity singer Daniel O'Donnell and his lovely wife, Majella, at our B&B. It was an honor to have them stay with us, and we were thrilled to be featured on their television show about the Irish Bed and Breakfast experience.
For us, it’s not just about providing a place to stay, but creating a memorable and welcoming atmosphere for all of our guests. This unique experience is what truly makes our B&B special."
