Reviewed Sep 3, 2025Really liked this B&B. The hosts were great - cheery, chatty and informative. The breakfast was top-notch with a lovely presentation making it a pleasure to relax and chat with other guests (Electric Picnic was on, great conversations). The house and garden are both very well looked after and we were fed with their own produce where possible. Highly recommended, it's about 16km from EP. if you've already bought your 2026 tickets! For dinner,we walked the 600m on a lovely quiet road to the Clanard Court Hotel for a really superb meal at a very reasonable price. We were there, not for EP but to cycle the Barrow River and Royal Canal. We rented bikes in Vicarstown at the Vicarstown Cafe (great service, very good bikes and a nice little café too!). Our advice is to cycle towards Monasterevin as the surface in that direction is superb. We cycled both and the route in the other direction (Carlow) is fine for the first 11km to Athy. From Athy, the surface is grass which might be fun but we got tired of it after 6km and moved to the adjacent road to Carlow - not too busy. After food in Carlow, we returned to Athy on a really nice back road, R429, via Knockbeg, - lovely, quiet, almost carless route.

Reviewed Oct 21, 2023This place is very near the town of athy and it was perfect place for my party to stay at. The breakfast was amazing. And there was loads of space in the room. The price was an amazing think too as its wasn't too expensive for 4 people to stay at
The only thing that could of been better was the comfort of the beds. I didn't sleep great on the night

Reviewed Apr 11, 2023Teresa made our stay! She knows the value of good, friendly, genuine hospitality. She made us feel welcome into her home, was generous, attentive & couldn't have done more for us. Breakfast was great! Fresh healthy options available.
In an ideal world if space allowed we would have liked the ensuite to be a little bigger & to have a seating/lounge/communal area available to use but zero complaints overall, particularly given the value & hospitality more than made up for these wishlist items.
