Carmel and Billy were the perfect hosts. Couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was amazing, lots of choice.
Lovely B&B with Carmel a super host. Very comfortable and well equipped rooms. Super breakfast and great breakfast room. Perfect location for attending wedding at Gloster house as the right side of Birr.

Very good location.
Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Room was spotless. Breakfast was fab
Little bit away from hotel that we were attending for a wedding. Needs better directions.google maps took us to wrong house but everything else was perfect
The Gardens BnB has been my favorite stop through Ireland. It was easy to both walk and take the bus to Birr. The bed was so comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and I felt very welcomed and safe staying here. Thank you to Carmel and Billy - I hope to come back someday!

Quite area, good location too where we were attending a party, plenty of parking
We were satisfied with everything
Hosts were a pleasure to deal with. Extra friendly and even gave us a lift into centre of town in 2 separate cars for our night out. Comfortable beds, lovely breakfast and very quiet location.
No issues at all.
Very clean and comfortable. Carmel couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. Even giving us a lift into Birr which was a lovely gesture!
Couldn’t recommend enough, an excellent host , went above and beyond for us. House was perfect and Breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.
Welcome received on arrival from the hosts.Refreshments offered in a friendly,professional manner late afternoon. We felt at home,in there home,as it was warm comfortable& cosy. Breakfast cooked as requested,it exceeded hospitality standards.
it is a rural setting,but that suited us.
Lovely breakfast. Location is a short drive to the town of Birr
Bathroom for my single room was good but not en-suite....no issue for me but good to know
Closeness to Birr town. The friendly staff. Extremely clean and comfortable. Great breakfast.
Nothing, it was perfect 👌.
Carmel was a very welcoming host, and provided a very good service and would highly recommend
Die Gastgeber sind sehr sehr nett! Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt. Hat uns wirklich giut gefallen.Auf alle Fälle zum Weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für alles!
Amazing host. So helpful and friendly and went well above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. Bedroom was clean and comfortable. Bed very comfortable.
There was a shared bathroom across from the bedroom rather than an en-suite but this was clear in the booking.
Friendly, welcoming and very helpful hosts. Billy and Carmel both went out of their way to support our stay.
Nothing.
Quiet location, comfortable and wonderful host
Very friendly host, comfy bed and a nice fire lighting in stove in breakfast room. Our stay coincided with very stormy weather, however, our room felt warm and snug
A towelling bath robe could be offered/made available to guests using shared bathroom facilities.
Our stay at The Gardens B&B in Birr was excellent. From the very start, the friendly welcome and relaxing atmosphere this is a place where guests are well cared for. The rooms are spotless, cosy, and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and generous, the perfect start to the day. The location is peaceful and convenient, with private parking. Would definitely stay here again.
Tutto ottimo e anche di più! Persone squisite, interessate ma non invadenti. Struttura nuova, camera molto pulita e ampia! Colazione Irlandese abbondante. Il costo rientra nella media ma con servizi eccellenti
Leggermente fuori dalla città, ma non è una colpa!
Our hosts were lovely - so welcoming, so accommodating, so kind. We felt right at home - thank you both for the lovely atmosphere you create!
Carmel’s hospitality made my work trip feel more like a vacation. The house is spotlessly clean, Carmel and her husband Billy invited me for a nice evening tea and chat, and breakfast was very generous. The house is located at the end of a cul de sac surrounded by farm fields, but in reasonable walking distance from Birr town center (and Carmel offered me a lift if I didn’t want to walk). The local bus also picks up a few minutes’ walk away.
Very welcoming host that made you feel right at home. Room was clean and very cozy bed. Would definitely recommend if you are staying in Birr for a weekend.
Nothing.
Useful location outside Birr and with a good eatery 12 minute walk away.
Very friendly hosts
Carmel was the best host we were staying for a wedding and she dropped us to the wedding venue. An absolute lady! The room was lovely and big! Bed was so comfy the breakfast the next morning was gorgeous full Irish fry! We will definitely be back!
I couldn’t fault our stay!
I liked the hospitality and warmth of Carmel and Billy! And the breakfast was delicious. The accommodations were lovely
Very friendly host so accommodating. Very clean accommodation.
I couldn't recommend Carmel enough she was an excellent host couldn't of done more for us!! House was immaculate and breakfast was unreal Location was perfect just a few minutes outside the town Would 100% stay again!!
Clean, modern , cosy B&B with parking
Very warm welcome and lovely hosts, could not fault the stay, stayed 3 nights and the price was very good.
Had an excellent one night stay. Carmel dropped us into town as we were attending a wedding. Excellent breakfast the next morning too. Would highly recommend staying if you're visiting the area.
The hosts were very welcoming, it was a lovely big room with a comfortable bed.
If you are looking for great Irish hospitality, this is the place to stay. I stayed there for a work trip. The owner was so friendly, and I felt taken care of. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable stay. The room was spacious and spotless. I had a great night's sleep, the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was home-cooked and just hit the spot. Highly recommended and thank you again for everything! Sandra x
Staying with Carmel and Billy was amazing! Great reception, friendly chats, breakfast delicious! I really felt at home! I was nervous because I was going to take the driving test, but I was completely supported and had good energy! I loved it.( And passed! )
Room was really big, extremely clean and the owners are lovely. I’d really recommend this B&B.
We arrived in the dark and it’s down the end of a small road but we found it no problem.
Carmel and her husband were very welcoming, lovely people. The room itself was impeccably clean, spacious and the bed very comfortable. They were flexible and accommodating the whole time we were there which made our stay very relaxing. Would recommend!
Really friendly hosts. Very comfortable bed Lovely bathroom Breakfast was piping hot
Bathroom was separate to bedroom as opposed to ensuite. Not a problem as we were the only guests on that particular night.
Room was beautiful
I stayed here while attending a friend's wedding and had a fantastic experience. The breakfast was amazing, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. They even went out of their way to iron my suit, which had gotten creased during travel. I highly recommend this place!
Very good experience I like to stay again .
Everything is perfect. Nothing too bad .
Close and convenient to Birr and exploring the area. Carmel and Billy are excellent hosts who go out of their way to make one feel at home. We will definitely be back. Very comfortable beds and high quality linens. Good breakfast as well.

Nice and quiet and great host.
Shared bathroom if many guests.
V clean, friendly & comfy. Carmel the host even dropped us to the wedding venue 10 mins away
Maybe to add a signpost off the main road
Good value room with Irish breakfast included in a residential house. Nice and friendly hosts. Located close-ish to Birr Castle Demesne, which is why we chose it. Feels like a rural residential area. Hosts recommended a nice restaurant in walking distance where we dined.
Shared bathroom on the hallway but for us not a problem as we were the only guests there at the time.
Breakfast very good, cereal on offer and lovely cooked breakfast
Happy with everything
The property was just beautiful. So clean and comfortable. Bedrooms were lovely.
Such a lovely place to stay comfortable and very welcoming
It was well located. Lovely quiet, clean, spacious property.
