    The bathroom was a bit small. The rest of the house and room were so comfortable that it didn’t really matter.

    Hospitality was exceptional. Philippe and Sophie were fabulous hosts going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

    The owners were helpful, friendly and engaging and the single room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast selection was more than adequate with a good range of choices available. The house is in a beautiful location and surrounded by beautiful gardens. The complimentary peaches from Philippe's gardens were delicious. I would highly recommend staying here.

    Nothing at all!

    We loved our stay with Philippe and Louise. They made us feel right at home at Rodeen and gave us great recommendations about the area. Hospitality at its very best. And a delicious breakfast. Thanks so much, we hope we’ll be back one day! We recommend visiting the Buddhist temple only a short drive from Rodeen.

    No complaints whatsoever

    Everything, quiet location convenient to Castletownbere. Facilities were excellent - room, lounge for guests, gorgeous spacious garden, excellent healthy choice at breakfast - home baking, freshly squeezed orange juice, wide selection of cereals, yogurts, cheeses, charcuterie and fruit, Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the experience was the relaxed atmosphere in the guesthouse - Philip and Sophie extend all their guests a genuinely warm welcome and are extraordinarily generous and patient with their time in advising where to go, where to dine etc. etc.

    There was nothing we didn't like!

    We had the privilege of spending six nights with the absolutely charming Philippe and Sophie. The lovely welcome during which Philippe sat us down and shared his recommendations on where to visit depending on the weather immediately made us feel at home. We followed his advice and had a fantastic Beara experience. The rooms in the studio were very well equipped and clean, and the bed was so comfy. A separate door to the garden was convenient as we could come and go without disturbing anyone. The garden itself was magical, with lovely views across to Bere Island. The breakfast room shared these views, which made for a delightful way to start the day. A wide variety of delicious food was on offer for breakfast, including Philippe's home-baked sweet treat of the day. In the evening, after a long outing, cake and coffee awaited us in the sitting room. It is the genuine warmth and concern for guests' comfort that makes Rodeen Country House stand out from other B&Bs we have stayed at. Philippe and Sophie were also great company, and we had many laughs during breakfast chats. The attention to detail in a quiet, elegant way makes Rodeen Country House very special.

    There was nothing to not like, except that I didn't plan to stay longer.

    Breakfast was incredible. The food was freshly prepared everyday, was excellent quality, and a diverse array was offered. Coffee and tea was available in the rooms, as well as a mini fridge. Fresh baked goodies were available for snacking throughout the day. My room had an amazing view of the bay, and I was able to enjoy sunrise and sunset in their beautiful garden. Phillipe and Sofie are dedicated to creating your best experience, and they have achieved 100% success. Anyone who stays with them, feels like family. I have never been so well cared for in a vacation stay.

    Really couldn't fault anything although the ensuite shower was small - not an issue for us but for someone larger or with mobility issues, it might be something to consider.

    This was a fantastic place to stay. Philip and Sophie were excellent hosts and provided good information on all the best places to visit in the area and great places to go walking/eat etc. Our room was very clean and comfortable with additional extras (microwave, fridge etc) and the room itself had beautiful views of Bere Island. The breakfast that was included was a continental buffet style with a wide selection of fruit, cereals, breads, cold meats and cheeses. Added to this, there was also some of Philip's home baking available with tea/coffee at any time. A very comfortable lounge area was also made available to guests throughout their stay - home from home. Would definitely go back if we return to Castletownbere.
