Reviewed Nov 15, 2025Our host was exceptional! Anything we needed was promptly provided (extension cord, floor heater). She cooked us a traditional Irish breakfast and it was delicious! The country setting was quiet, beautiful and picturesque. We genuinely enjoyed our stay at the Amber Inn.
At first, we thought the B and B was too far off the main highway, but soon realized that it worked to our advantage. The country setting was just what we needed after a long day of driving. We wouldn't change a thing!

Reviewed Jul 4, 2024The host, Trish , was so helpful. She let us leave our bags in early as we were attending a festival that morning and even offered us a lift if we had needed it. The room was so clean and the bed was very comfortable, which was exactly what we needed after a day of standing up. The location was a short trip from the festival grounds and lough key forest park and a short enough journey if you wanted to go to Carrick on Shannon

Reviewed May 9, 2024Trish the owner was fabulous and very nice to deal with. We were at a wedding in Kilronan Castle and booked in with Trish it’s absolutely perfect except a bit far away, I opted not to take a drink and was glad the next day anyway. So if you’re not taking a drink location is perfect otherwise you can get a taxi but I couldn’t justify €60 return after the cost for the wedding.

Reviewed Nov 12, 2023The host has promised to refund us for the night we spent.
The host was gone and though there was someone to meet us, the lights weren't on and it was dark when we arrived. The heater for the house was broken and though a space heater was provided, it was not sufficient. The water in the shower kept switching from warm to cold. The bathmat and some towels were missing. No breakfast was available despite this being a "B&B" - just a recommendation for someplace to go in town. Though a small container of fresh milk was placed in a fridge for coffee and tea, there weren't even any napkins provided. The host never should have accepted guests for this weekend.

Reviewed May 11, 2023The accommodation is in a quiet location near two beautiful lakes. The room is simple but clean and sufficient for those who prefer to explore the surroundings. The host (Trish) was very helpful. I recommend.
The only thing which little confused us is system of two separate water taps. Sometimes was little bit hard to find the right temperature in centre. But it was general matter in all accommodations where we slept during our travel to Ireland.
