Kingfisher Lodge & Pub

Full of character, to be sure.

Bathroom needs some bleach. Grout was black and gross.

A taste of old Ireland. Very authentic. Reminded me of stays with my grandparents.

Shared bathroom - but it wasn’t a problem for a night.

Le lit était très inconfortable

Kingfisher Lodge and Pub is such a unique place and absolutely everything to Paddy. He was such a lovely host. Loved there was a fridge available to store some food items!

As with all Irish places, no cooling is available for the rare hot spells. Took a little bit to cool down as upstairs. But it was bearable.

very poor should be shut down.

Everything was very poor and should not be open to the public.

Paddy was a great host and the pub is full of character and charm. The beds were comfortable, the room and bathroom room had everything you could need. Its in a nice quiet area with not much to do but there is a great takeaway place next door (recommended by Paddy) that does a solid margarita pizza.

The cleanliness needs be improved if they are "professionally cleaned" (left over rubbish in the bedside drawers, wiped down bedside tables). For a 200 year old building some wear and tear is expected.

The man who checked us in was very polite, happy, and welcoming.

The positive customer service could not make up for the fact that the property itself is completely unacceptable and in a shocking state of disrepair. We booked expecting a quaint, characterful lodge, but the reality was an absolute nightmare. When we arrived, the pub lodge looked as though it had been ransacked.The taxidermy pheasant for one should be removed and the excessive dusty nick nacks on the shelves in the bedroom are not necessary, to actually give space to put anything. The room itself was incredibly scruffy and bore little resemblance to the photos online. When we looked inside the shared bathroom, there was black mold covering the shower walls - a genuine health hazard. The man checking us in tried to excuse the conditions by pointing out that the building is 250 years old. An historic building is no excuse for a total lack of basic cleanliness and hygiene. Old should absolutely not mean dirty. The conditions were so appalling that we felt entirely uncomfortable staying. We chose to hand the keys right back and leave immediately to find an alternative hotel.

Le camere si trovano in un pub tipico e tradizionale che non mi era ancora mai capitato di trovare. Tutto in legno con collezioni di insegne pubblicitarie e equipaggiamento da pesca e bancone e mobilio in legno scuro. Nel piano di sopra si fa una vera esperienza di casa irlandese : moquette, foto di famiglia, animali impagliati e mobilio d’epoca. Il proprietario è un simpatico signore , divertente e accogliente.

La pulizia da migliorare molto

Amazing host! Super cozy familiar vibes it really seems like all the locals are coming here.

Not a negative just a caution this pub doesn’t serve food there’s fast food or an Asian restaurant nearby

L'établissement est situé dans une localité tranquille.

Dommage qu'il ne soit plus possible de se restaurer sur place.

You can’t beat the owner. Just so friendly, helpful and kind. Made you feel like you were coming home for the holiday

Na

L'ambiance du pub tenue par l'hôte de l'hebergement.

Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas possibilité de prendre un petit déjeuner

Eenvoud.

Badkamer en kamer erg gedateerd. Geen eigen water en toilet.

All excellent especially the host

L'accueil de Patrick et son aide pour monter les valises. Pub authentique

The lodge keeper was by and by the most welcoming sort of person. He treated us like family. If you want old world charm and a true Irish experience, overlook the new places and stay here!

Shared bathroom with all guests

Loved it as soon as I walked in the door. Was greeted by Paddy and made to feel at home. Only stayed for 3 nights but felt like 3 weeks. He's a good man and I'm really pleased to have met him so fortuitously though a booking of a property I hadn't stayed in before. I was participating in the Limerick Marathon on the Sunday and the comfort and pleasantness of the trip and stay at Kingfisher really helped and relaxed me.

Nothing - TV didn't work properly but didn't need it.

L'accueil du propriétaire est sympathique.

Le logement est vieillot et d'un autre temps. Inconfortable

Owner was nice

Bed was too soft

Great atmosphere thanks to Paddy (happy 89th birthday)

It's a very quirky place and won't suit anyone who likes uncluttered and modern

L'accueil dans le logement était très chaleureux. C'est un endroit qui permet de sentir l'atmosphère locale.

La chambre pourrait être un peu plus propre.

Paddy! Real Irish charm!

Paddy is an exceptional host! Kind, helpful, funny and all around good craic!

Sin duda lo mejor del alojamiento es el trato del anfitrión, con su buen humor y sonrisa, nos hizo sentir como en casa. Además el pub totalmente irlandés, si buscas adentrarte en la cultura irlandesa es el mejor lugar posible. Las habitaciones además muy limpias y cómodas.

Comfortable accommodations with a very charming host, Paddy, in a walkable and scenic town. Good food options nearby. The pub offered good seating and drink options for food we brought in.

Not necessarily a dislike but for transparency for other guests, the lodging is clean but large hodge podge collection of memorabilia. Can appeared cluttered but is a charming extension of the place

Amfitrió molt atent. Et fa sentir com a casa

Very friendly owner. Bed was pretty comfortable. Was decent value.

I probably would not stay here again. As per the description provided, this place is old. However, we did not feel that it was old in a charming way - more of a neglected way. It is like going to stay in your granny's house from 30 years ago. There was no lock on the shared bathroom. Room was not ready at the scheduled check-in time. While the host is very charming and we did not visit the pub (which a lot of people enjoy), I would probably choose to stay somewhere else.

Paddy was very friendly and helpful.

Paddy. He made our stay what it was. If it wasn’t for him, it wouldn’t have been nearly as nice. It truly felt like we were in Ireland.

Nous avons été accueillis avec soin par Paddy, figure local et gérant du Pub. La chambre familiale est confortable avec la salle de bain commune juste à côté. Paddy nous a conseillé de commander des pizzas à côté pour pouvoir les manger dans le pub. Solution parfaite pour s'imprégner des lieux aux côtés des habitués. On a passé une excellente soirée et une très bonne nuit dans des lits confortables.

Nous avons tout apprécié mais à éviter pour les maniaques du rangement et du confort moderne.

Paddy is de beste gastheer. Hij is heel vriendelijk en gastvrij.

Patty!!

Excellent place for a short stay. Host is a character and very welcoming. Rooms are very comfortable. Family room was a good size

Of course ensuite would be desirable but it wasn't a problem to be honest. The price reflects this and overall was very good value

Amabilidad del anfitrión. Pub antiguo y auténtico.

Muchas personas para un baño.

The overall atmosphere.

Bathtub was very old and could really use renovation.

Charming rustic building, perfect for our group.

I loved it all, but it won’t be for everyone.

This place is old and charming and the owner, Paddy, could not have been nicer or more helpful. I'll definitely be staying here again when I'm next in Limerick.

I liked everything

Todo super bien y es muy fácil de aparcar. El lugar es pintoresco, y original. Si buscas una experiencia Irlandesa, este es tu pub. El señor que nos atendio fue excelente.

L’accueil de Paddy qui est vraiment extraordinaire, si nous avions à revenir en Irlande nous ferions un détour pour le rencontrer de nouveau Pub atypique très ancien resté dans son jus

Tout est ok

The owner was amazing! So kind and thoughtful! I cant recommend this location enough! Especially to any Americans that would like an authentic Irish place to stay. Beautiful walks and sights nearby also!

The friendliness of the staff, the safe parking the safe environment you were located

A bit aged but fit for purpose a bit quirky and unusual old furniture but more historical than anything.

Il pub di Paddy, la sua storia nella comunità, il suo lavoro a 89 anni per tenere le tradizioni del posto ci sono piaciute tantissimo. Da non dimenticare la maestria con la quale ci ha servito la Guinness!

L’avere il bagno in comune fa un po’ strano. Detto questo ci sta essendo la guesthouse una reale casa con diverse stanze.

The owner Paddy was amazing!!

Sharing a bathroom with 4 other rooms

Shared toilet kept flushing all night. Some areas dusty.

Comfy, warm and cosy

Besitzer

Das Haus ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen!

Mycket bra ställe med helt underbara Ägaren 88 årige Paddy som drev både Hostel och Puben helt själv

Gammal byggnad därför lyhörd Nu

Great value and everything you could need there

Room was a bit too warm, just turned off the electric rad and opened the window

Paddy is a gentleman and welcomed me back warmly (I've stayed here before). The cosy bar was decorated beautifully for Christmas, complete with a blazing fire. The bed was very comfy...the room well prepared and good value for money. Not luxury but homely, cosy n quirky!

It was quaintly retro Irish.

Nothing much. It is not a luxury hotel, just an authentic homely Irish experience.

Paddy is so friendly and engaging. Couldn't do enough for me. The bar downstairs is quirky and cosy with an open fire and was decorated for Christmas. It is a lovely bar. The bedroom was clean n the bed so comfy. Availed of a shared bathroom, which was different, but it was fine. There was a kettle, fridge, and microwave on the landing upstairs outside my room, which came in handy. All in all good value for money and felt taken care of

The landing creaks a little!!!

This is a special place that radiates authenticity, as far away from the pubs along Temple Bar in Dublin that you can possibly come. A rustic little pub not so far away from the River Shannon. Due to this, the place is full of fishing gear, stuffed fish, and pictures of catch and fishermen, in addition to all kinds of other stash, including an anvil. The top attraction is the owner Paddy, friendly and humorous. We arrived in the evening and was invited to bring in some take-away food from the Chinese restaurant down the street. Nice parking spot in the back.

If you are looking for a spotless, shiny place, this may not be your choice. That said, the room we had upstairs was nice and clean, and had the vibe you only find in an old house. (No ghosts were seen though.) You may hear some noise from downstairs, but we had a good night sleep here. Shared bathroom, but no queue and plenty of clean towels.

It was an amazing experience! Paddy, the owner of the lodge na dyne bar downstairs is wonderful. It felt like visiting a relative, a cool grandpa. He welcomed us and showed us our room. And then later we spent some time in the pub, having some delicious Guinness and warm chats with Paddy and some of other guest in the pub. The room was very nice na d warm.

good atmosphere frindly lanlord

no ok

Location, ample off road parking. Paddy was charming, served the best Guinness I have ever had in a very quaint bar steeped in history. When asked what time the bar closed he replied “Christmas” - we were in early November!

Upon arrival the place looks abandoned, paint in poor condition, windows cracked - it’s in darkness. Paddy let me in, showed me the rooms all of which looked in need of extensive decoration. Window in RM2 was cracked and actually had plants growing through into the room - the bathroom was ok bar the shower; a health hazard with mould on the shower head. But, the kettles worked, good WiFi, and Paddy was such a gent it’s hard to complain… anywhere else I would have demanded an immediate refund.

Super, accueil très chaleureux. Chambre très cosy et confortable, on se sent bien un peu comme a la maison, robe de chambre douce, chaude et ultra confortable avec les pantoufles au top 👍 PUB qui est un petit bijou d'histoire

L'accueil est exceptionnel dans ce typique pub irlandais. La chambre est cocooning. On vient en Irlande pour trouver ce genre d'endroit hors du temps.

The idea as described in Booking.com of a Irish Pub with singing and food in a quaint village - the impression from our original booking - sadly, none of that exists

No atmosphere Run-down building Old bedding and towels Filthy bathroom Lonely old man host who took big money from travellers for company No food No music No lock on the shared bathroom Well below the level of a 1- star rating

L'auberge typique. Le propriétaire accueillant et agréable. L'emplacement sur la route de Limerick.

L accueil est très chaleureux, Paddy est très accueillant et quelqu un de charmant.

La vétusté des lieux, tout est hors d'âge, du sol au plafond, jusqu'au propriétaire des lieux! Chasse d'eau capricieuse, robinet qui fuit, matelas afaissés dont on sent tous les ressorts, Devoir passer avec sa valise au milieu des clients du pubs qui nous ont dévisagés, endroit ultra exigü..

Il titolare Paddy, persona accogliente e simpatica. Ci ha spiegato ogni cosa fosse necessaria. Davvero un bell'incontro!

Nulla

The old charm, history of the place and just chatting with Paddy, a true gentleman

Paddy, the location, the vibe, the conversations, the locals, the history of the pub, the beds

That I can’t be a permanent tenant :(

Fantastic rustic old building, however needs a good deep clean . Paddy was really nice .

Cleanliness

They sent an email to say we should not have hiugh expectations for this 200 year old coaching inn. They were right. There is a diffeence between old and dirty, unclean and uncempt.

Dirty seats, bar, unhygenie room. Horrible. The owner was drunk and kept pking me with his finger when talking to me. If we could find somewhere else on the night we would have left.

Se potessi dare un voto all'atmosfera, meriterebbe più di 10!! Paddy gentilissimo!!!

La pulizia, questo aspetto è sicuramente da migliorare.

Paddy, der Gastgeber war sehr hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Meine Tochter Emma und ich sind sehr gut mit ihm ins Gespräch gekommen. Paddy war der beste Gastgeber unserer Irlandreise. Auch sein Pub ist absolut urig und klasse. Nochmals vielen Dank für Deine Gastfreundschaft, lieber Paddy.

Dormire su un pub irlandese è bellissimo. Letti molto comodi e atmosfera davvero magica. Questo posto è davvero un gioiello. Paddy è una persona meravigliosa.

Bagno un po' sporco, ma la colpa era degli altri ospiti.

Host is a very nice person.

Place needs to cleaning

Host friendly Quaint bar Bedroom quiet and pleasant temperature

Quality of bedlinen poor No towels in bedroom- not given any. Expected to share those in shared bathroom?? No breakfast available, and no cafes in vicinity

Trop sympa avec Paddy très jovial Je recommande
