Brona Dempsey

Very clean, bright, comfortable and spacious

Bathroom window not frosted

The location was lovely and very quiet. The room was clean and comfortable. We realy enjoyed our stay

Excellent breakfast

Really enjoyed the stay. Lovely room and patio area. Great breakfast.

Brona and Kevin are wonderful hosts. They are both very friendly, warm and welcoming. The space was private and very tastefully designed and decorated. There is a lovely outdoor space, as well. I would absolutely and highly recommend The Brona & Kevin BnB! Thanks for such a wonderful and pleasant stay. best,erika!

The breakfast was good with a selection of pastries, cereal, fruit and yoghurt and eggs cooked as desired. Location was further out of Birr than I anticipated.

The bathroom wash basin was far too small and one better suited to a cloakroom. The bathroom was on the ground floor with no blinds and clear glass in the window.

The bedroom was very clean and comfortable and the shower was great and the breakfast was delicious

camera fantastica , pulita , ben arredata , con dei padroni di casa premurosi , Grazie a Brona e suo marito , che ci han fatto delle colazioni splendide ....

The property is gorgeous, cozy and filled with great vibes. The host and their family were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They made a very positive impression on us. The cup of tea on our arrival was a sweet gesture. The rooms were very clean, tidy and pretty.

Very welcoming

Beautiful B& B well run both Kevin and Bronagh were lovely and very welcoming. Very clean and comfortable.

Nothing to dislike if you don't mind a 4 min drive outside the town. Didn't make a difference to our stay

The very kind owner and the perfect room

Nothing to suggest

Very comfortable and clean. Brona was extremely friendly and welcoming.

Brona was an incredibly kind host, she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supported. The location was beautiful and the attention to detail in the room was exquisite.

Nothing.

We weren't able to attend breakfast so Brona dropped is down tea/coffee/toast and pastries down to the room. Excellent host. Thank you Brona

It was a little out of the main town but easily accessible in taxi/car.

Amazing location, room and breakfast. Brona and Kevin were amazing and will do all they can to make sure you are comfortable and have a great stay.

Completely not applicable. Amazing stay

I loved the room we had .Beds comfortable, room and facilities spotless and warm. Friendly hosts 🥰. We had really delicious continental breakfast. Thank you we come back again.

The best hosts I have ever met, very kind and polite

Everything excellent, facilities wise, excellent host, very helpful and accommodating.

I was a little taken aback that there wasn't even a 'small Irish' option at breakfast, although the continental breakfast was superb, lovely bowl of fruit/muesli/yogurt, fresh orange juice and lovely coffee and a choice of breads, with butter, jams and marmelades, with eggs as you like them, very well presented. I just would have liked a slice of bacon, a sausage as an option. It may have said Continental breakfast somewhere on the blurb, I didn't see it-just 'breakfast included'

Breakfast excellent, setting so quiet, charming hosts ...nightcap waiting for us after dinner out at their recommended Indian restaurant. Spacious bedroom

Small bathroom, but ok for one night. House name on property would be helpful!!

Lovely space and comfy beds. Kevin was very friendly when we arrived and Brona responsive with my questions when I first booked.

Stunned that the bathroom window didn’t have any window covering to prevent being exposed to the outside. Used the washroom by the light of my phone light multiple times not feeling comfortable with the possible exposure. The window faces away from the main house, however still very uncomfortable and i believe unnecessary. There was a motion sensor in the room which also made the stay uncomfortable. It would catch us rolling over and a blue light would go on which was irritating as I was trying to fall asleep - I’m also unsure why a motion sensor would need to be inside the room catching guests every movement.

Lovely hosts, who kindly agreed to a late check-in, due to unexpected circumstances. Very welcoming and professional.

No full Irish breakfast

Lovely clean home. Friendly hosts.

Clean, comfortable, and most important, The owner is a super-kind and friendly person. She takes care of everything to male you feel like home.

A cozy little town with hidden treasures including a beautiful castle with gardens and an historical telescope, and lovely shops. A great pit stop in the center of Ireland! I wish we had stayed here longer. The hostess prepared an amazing breakfast; the local Indian restaurant in town, she recommended, was amazing!

Nothing

Brona and her family were exceptionally accommodating, kind and brilliant hosts. Brona gave us tea, coffee, milk, a night cap!, fresh water and fresh fruit as well as a delicious breakfast. The accommodation was so spacious, clean, stylish and had everything you need. The home and location are so peaceful and stunning. My mum and I were attending a family wedding in Gloster House and the accommodation was very close to Gloster house which was brilliant. I would highly recommend staying here, instead of booking with a hotel, as our stay was so peaceful and tranquil.

Nothing it was fabulous

Beautifully decorated, self-contained accommodation in a peaceful area near Birr. The quality of the furnishings was exceptional and stylish. Brona was an incredibly gracious host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and provide advice and tips to help us find food, and see the attractions of Birr.

The only incredibly minor issue we had was the blue light at the bottom of the IR alarm sensor mounted over the door would trigger in the middle of the night every time one of us rolled over and that woke me up a few times. Otherwise it was outstanding.

We were so pleased to find a clean and comfortable place to stay towards the end of our road trip after a couple subpar spots. Brona was a delight and brought a delicious breakfast to our room.

Perhaps the towels are on their last legs and could be replaced!

Brona was extremely welcoming and helpful. The attention to detail in the fantastic breakfast and the property was excellent. Thanks Brona for being so accommodating, we wish you well in the future, sorry for the late call again!

Nothing the property is just lovely

A beautiful property and Brona is an amazing host, she went above and beyond for our stay and we will definitely be back in the future.

Stayed 2 nights to go to a wedding. Beautiful rural location with very comfortable beds, sparkling clean and a delightful host. Brona was extremely kind and accommodating.

Clean, comfy, exceptionally relaxed host with plenty of trust and open hearted.

Great location and the host couple went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and welcome

When we arrived there was a power outage so no water in the unit or lights. Nothing anyone could do about it except wait. The hosts did whatever they could to make it work as best they possibly could.

Communication and property

Fantastic breakfast, great location.

Cosy room, nicely layout and nice view. Private entrance was nice

Beautiful spacious & comfortable room with stylish decor.

Plenty of tea/ coffee and biscuits

It was a real pleasure staying with Brona. I really enjoyed my stay. It was a wonderful visit 😊

Our room was so nice, very clean with everything you need. Lovely breakfast. Brona and her husband we're very welcoming in they're beautiful home. We will definitely be back. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area.

Both my colleague and myself recently attended the National Ploughing Championship for work and were lucky enough to stay with Brona and her lovely family. Brona was so helpful in recommending nice local restaurants texting us links and pictures to review. We received a warm homely welcome on arrival which was very much appreciated and our room was warm, cozy modern and a delight to stay in. The ensuite bathroom featured a large shower unit with a powerful shower which was appreciated after a days hiking in the mud 😊 The bedroom contained a large comfortable bed, Tea/Coffee making facilities, ironing facilities, large wardrobes and flat screen TV. Brona couldn't do enough for us and I would highly recommend staying at her wonderful home. I am hoping to have an excuse to go and stay with her again in the near future....Thanks again Brona for a wonderful stay !! Liz and Samantha XX

There was nothing I didn't like about my stay with Brona.

A quiet rural location. Host great.

Hard to find when sat nav had an Izzy fit. Need to put some frosting on bathroom window and upgrade the towels. Shower was cold in the morning.

everything

not applicable

Quiet clean friendly lovely location

Need softer towels !

Quiet, very clean, and very gracious hostess.

Brona and Kevin could not be nicer, we got a lovely breakfast both mornings and couldn’t be nicer. Hospitality top notch, as was the food and location.

The room was very clean and comfortable

The shower was cold next morning. Only one of us got a hot shower. We thought there would be a full irish for breakfast as on the booking it said breakfast included but it was a continental breakfast which was disappointing.

Everything was well prepared and very welcoming

Nothing, everything was perfect

We want to apologise to Brona for leaving without saying goodbye. I went to do that, but I didn't see her in the kitchen and we were mad late for our class, so sincere apologies for that. It was the nicest B&B I've ever been in. So beautifully decorated. Really lovely room. The beds were so comfy. And the breakfast outside in the sunshine was glorious. We could have sat there for hours.

A blind or some privacy film on the bathroom window would be appreciated.

Everything about Brona's accomodation is top class. From check-in until departure, Brona and Kevin were perfect hosts who could not have done more for us during our stay in Birr. We were immediately made welcome with offers of tea/coffee and suggestions for local dining and orientation. Our large bedroom and en-suite were hotel quality, beautiful interiors, spotlessly clean with high quality furnishings and lots of additional extras to add to our comfort. Brona's gourmet breakfast was delicious- a great start to our day! Location is perfect too- a country location but minutes from Birr town centre. Definitely on our list for a return visit to Offaly!

That we couldn't stay longer

Room was modern, spacious and clean. Brona was a fantastic host.

Lovely house in beautiful setting. Brogan was really friendly and welcoming.

The room was very comfortable with an en suite bathroom and plenty of room. The accommodation was in a great location for the wedding that we attended and for easy access into Birr.

We would have liked tea making facilities in the room

The host Brona , husband Kevin and daughter Isabelle were most welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Brona was also very informed on places to visit and eat. The property was immaculate, well appointed with lovely outdoor area.

Not a thing!

A beautiful tranquil room with a lovely patio to sit out and enjoy a fantastic breakfast. Brona was very friendly and couldn’t have done any more to make us feel at home.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about this property.

Brona is wonderful lady beautiful place will definitely return made me and my son feel so welcome wonderful hospitality and kindness. Went out of her way to make our stay memorable

The room was lovely. Brona was a great hostess and the breakfast was delicious.

There is nothing not to like

Breakfast, location, Accommodation Host couldn't be anything better. It was perfect. Stunning Bed & Breakfast. I would highly recommend this B&B and the fabulous owner. xxx

Brona was a wonderful host, and we had a very restful stay. The location is a short drive to Birr Castle and downtown, and Brona gave great lunch/dinner recommendations. Facilities were very clean, and the bed was so comfortable.

Nothing. :)

The communication, the cleanliness, the attention to detail, the warmest welcome and the incredible breakfast ... This is a 10/10.

We wish we had stayed longer, for the company and the amazing home.

Everything. This was a great little property. Brona was a wonderful host. The room and especially the bedding was wonderful.

N/a

food very good

Heat should have been on a thermostat that the guest can regulate. It was not warm

spacious and clean and very comfortable

N/A

Beds were very comfortable and everything was fine for one night. Breakfast was good. Hosts were obliging and friendly.

No provision of a toilet roll on arrival. No kettle or cups in the room. Position of sink in bathroom awkward to clean teeth and no shelf for toothbrush etc. A glass for rinsing mouth was not available. There was only one chair in the room and there was two of us.

Brona was a fantastic host , so warm and friendly .We instantly felt welcome in her beautiful home. Location was ideal with a friendly and reliable taxi service to take us into town. We would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing to dislike here folks ! Brona has gone to every effort to ensure your room is modern , well equiped and comfortable. We felt totally spolit on our few days away.
