Location
Breakfast is paid separately
Velmi dobrá komunikace, vstřícní majitelé, příjemné prostředí, výtečná snídaně.
Location was very convenient to Tullamore centre. Approx a 15 min. walk. Hosts very hospitable and breakfast was lovely. Room nicely presented and bed very comfortable. Can highly recommend.
A wonderful place to stay. From the warm welcome to the beautiful bedroom and facilities, the lovely surroundings and excellent location. It was my 2nd visit but hopefully not my last, as it is absolute pleasure to stay here. Thank you Marie & Joe, for your warm welcome and gracious hospitality. You set the bar very high as hosts.
Having to Leave
Lovely room. Good shower. Lovely people. Great breakfast 😋.
The dog
Charming and cozy, this B&B in small and lovely town of Tullamore (minutes from the train station) was like comfort food after spending most of our trip in larger Irish cities. Spotless and quiet, it was the relaxing afternoon/evening we didn't know we needed. The owner/operators were beyond helpful and kind, and big bonus points for the property's adorable security guard -- a small rescue pup named Buddy. (We wanted to steal him.) The little downtown was filled with good food, great coffee/desserts, and friendly locals. We walked from town to the B&B, and it was the greenest and cleanest smelling little place I've ever visited.
NOT the fault of the B&B, but know that the FreeNow app, which was our main/only connection to calling for taxis, did not work in the area. We weren't prepared. Suggestion: in advance of your arrival there, find one or two local companies and call them the old fashioned way to book rides. Also discovered you can pre-order a driver (even back to Dublin $$$$) through the Booking.com app.
Es ist sehr gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und die Gegend ruhig.
Sehr nette Gastgeber, großes Zimmer (2), bequemes Bett, modernes Bad, sehr große begehbare Dusche mit kräftigen Wasserstrahl, Blick in den Garten, Parkplatz direkt am Haus
Etwas abgelegen und kein Frühstück, was aber klar sein dürfte. Etwas hellhörig. Hundegebell Sonst ein paar Kleinigkeiten/ Tipps: Es fehlt ein Schreibtisch statt der hohen Kommode, an die man sich nicht setzen kann. Ein hoher Spiegel im Zimmer fehlt. Ansonsten (auch im Bad) wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten (Board im Bad?) 1-2 Wandhaken im Zimmer wären gut. Der Wasserkocher hat keine separate Stromplatte, so muss der kleine Wasserkocher immer komplett zum Waschbecken zum Befüllen.
Klidné místo, hostitelé vzorní, snídaně super.
Bonne accueil et de bons conseils
Vis bija ļoti labi!
Everything
Nothing not to like
Clean, handy for Tullamore Court and very friendly
Sänky oli mukava ja aamiainen loistava!
Wonderful night with Joe and Marie en route to Connemara. They were so welcoming and accommodating, particularly when part of our party arrived quite late. We’ll definitely be back!
Breakfast was excellent, freshly made for us.
Only issue was the lock on the front door didn’t work and we spent ages trying to lock a door that never locked.
Location was good, lovely house, good parking
No breakfast available, it would be lovely to have breakfast made as we were driving a long journey. We got recommend to a cafe in town that served good breakfast
Highly recommend..rooms are so warm and comfortable..its a home away from home..hosted by the lovely Marie and Joe who couldn't do enough for us.
If I could make one small suggestion of a mirror in the room but that did not take from our experience.
We really enjoyed our stay, Maria was so friendly and answered any questions we had. The room was very clean and cozy with really comfy beds. Great shower and there was lots of tea/coffee and biscuits in the room for us! Great location, only a 15 minute safe walk into the town. We would love to stay here again!
Lovely cooked breakfast. Plenty of everything. Our host Marie was very welcoming and friendly. Room very clean and comfortable.
Clean, wonderful setting. Charming room. Very friendly hosts. Nice town.
It is unusual not to have breakfast, however there was an extremely good breakfast place they recommended in town. I'd certainly come back again.
Hezké prostředí, blízko do centra města, milí majitelé.
Pro me moc měkké postele :-)
The house is really nice, the room is cozy and clean. The bathroom has an amazing shower Both the station and the centre are within walking distance Maria was very kind and helpful, giving me great recommendations on where to eat!
amazing communication and very attentive to detail
Coreen Guest House is a very comfortable family-run guesthouse that absolutely feels like home! Maria, the owner of the house is a very friendly person, who is experienced in running the guesthouse and makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. She offered us breakfast, although we didn´t even book it, which was really forthcoming! And, she even gave our 4-year old daughter a gift to play with and provided her grandchildren´s dollhouse, which our daughter loved a lot. Her daughter Nieve, who covered for Maria, when she wasn´t there, was really lovely too. They are all used to having people in their lovely house with beautiful garden views. The house is located in a nice and safe neighbourhood, about 10-15 minutes walk from the city center. It is about 5 minutes walk from the town park, where you find quite and green as well as a very nice playground for kids. Our room (2) was very nice and there is a variety of tea and coffee provided in the room! The bathroom is modern and very clean with a really great shower. Beds are comfy. We could store food/drinks that needed cooling in their family fridge. A nice surprise is the house´s dog buddy, who is super cute and friendly to everyone and good with kids.
As we came as a family of three people, space for clothes was a bit limited in the room but this was really not an issue.
It was beautiful clean and the just was so friendly and wonderful
Nothing
L'hôtesse Marie est très accueillante. Les chambres sont décorées avec beaucoup de goût. le quartier est très tranquille mais néanmoins proche du centre ville (20min à pied).
Tout était parfait
Gracious host, beautiful home on a quiet upscale neighborhood street. Host even drove us to the Tullamore Distillery!
Tullamore doesn't have a frequently scheduled public transportation service, so if relying on public transportation, this B&B is a good walk from the town centre. By car, this B&B offers a great location for exploring the attractions, then having a quiet place to recharge!
Sehr nette Gastgeberin, großes Zimmer,
Das Frühstück war leider alles sehr dürftig. Kein Rührei, keine Bohnen, wie ich es erwartet hätte. Zwei Tage hintereinander schimmeliges Toast. Zum Glück gab es eine Alternative. Die Kaffeemaschine streikte und man war komplett auf sich allein gestellt. Wer keine Hunde mag, wird beim Frühstück ein Problem mit dem aufdringlichen Hund der Gastgeber ein Problem haben. Das Auto kann nicht immer direkt vor dem Haus parken. Man muss es, wenn man Pech hat auf die Straße stellen und ca 100 Meter zum Haus laufen. Für gehbehinderte Menschen kann das zum Problem führen. Alles in allem würde ich dieses Haus nur bedingt weiterempfehlen.
Very clean room , quality facilities
Did not realise that we hadn’t breakfast included in the booking
Eine sehr schöne und äußerst saubere Unterkunft mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Gastgeberin ist herzlich, engagiert und sorgt dafür, dass man sich rundum wohlfühlt. Das Frühstück war fabelhaft – vielfältig, frisch und mit viel Sorgfalt zubereitet. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder!
Friendly owners. Terrific continental breakfast. Easy walk to town. Adorable dog
Absolutely loved this cute little B&B, wish we had more time to stay longer. The host is super sweet and very helpful. We had a wonderful breakfast here.
The room was lovly everything neat and tidy the whole area nice

Nothing
We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was decorated with great care and love. Also the owner was very friendly, accommodating and gave us a few insider tips for the next hurling matches;)
Very close to Tullamore Harriers and the rugby club. 10m walk to town.
Everything was great.
Everything was amazing here! The friendliest host, the most beautiful bedding I've seen in a guest house in my life 😍 I loved it ❤️
V hospitable hosts. Breakfast was absolutely gorgeous. Great location, very close to the town. Would definitely return again.
The bed was super comfortable and the decor in good taste. The shower was very good. It’s quite a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood just what you need after the long and windy road.
Spotlessly clean and quiet comfortable room
Clean, quiet, parking, walking distance to town
Welcoming host, beautiful house and room!
All was amazing!
They gave us an easter egg on easter Sunday
Plus thing was they had a coffee machine.
A b and b without breakfast??? Bathroom did not have toiletries like shower gel. Interaction with owner was totally under a minute and lacked irish warmth experienced in B and B throughout Ireland.
Absolutely amazing family!!we stayed just 1 night,but we really enjoyed.Very delicious breakfast.Thank you for everything 😉
Location is excellent and breakfast was lovely
A little room in the bathroom or bedroom for toiletries, makeup etc and a mirror.
The owner gave a warm welcome and was there if we needed any assistance. The rooms were big, modern and spotless, particularly the bathrooms, which are finished to a very high standard with excellent showers. The beds were very comfortable and the room was lovely and toasty. It’s located in the outskirts of Tullamore which meant easy access to the town. We will definitely be staying here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the place to anybody!
Breakfast was tasty
Breakfast was superb , fresh food , pleasantly presented and fulfilling. Location was a little difficult to find if not familiar with the area.
Cant think of any dislikes!
The beds and shower were fantastic! The host was also very kind and hospitable. I would be happy to stay again.
Lovely house and host.
Maria was a lovely host, great communication, beautiful room..we will be back
Nothing .... This Bed and breakfast was excellent
Very friendly and considerate hosts. Room was very comfortable. Full breakfast available for a nominal additional charge.
Location is about a 20 minute walk to the downtown area, limiting options for meals.
Did not eat breakfast there. Was offered continental breakfast. Which was excellent.
Nothing this went far above what we were expecting.
Lovely owners, very accommodating, helped us get to train station. Nice breakfast, very clean comfy room. Nice bright room with great view. Would definitely use again.
No complaints,
nice typical bnb, charming hosts. excellent breakfast.
Breakfast was very nice, selection of cereals, lots of toast with butter and jam, tea coffee fruit juice, and nicely cooked Irish Breakfast. Marie's breakfast always looked forward to. Room very comfortable and relaxing, also walk in shower very good (plenty of water pressure).
Great location walkable to town short drive to Tullamore D.E.W., easy check-in spacious rooms with ensuite bathroom, clean, beautifully landscaped property on a quiet end of the road.
The property was centrally located and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would very highly recommend Coreen guest house.
The Guest Home was a terrific home away from home. The room was clean and well appointed with outstanding linens, coffee/tea service and the host accommodated our early arrival.
The home was not labeled with a name or address, we had to rely on the photo from the Booking document.
Joe and his daughter Eve were very welcoming and accommodating hosts for my one-night stay. I really enjoyed chatting with both of them when I arrived and during breakfast the following morning, and as a bonus they had an incredibly friendly and well-behaved little dog. The room itself was nice--the bed was plenty comfortable (there was a queen mattress and a twin mattress) and it had an en suite full bathroom, and it was totally quiet even with someone staying in the next room over. It's only about a 10-minute walk from the train station and about a 20-minute walk from the town center, so it's a very accessible location if you're able and willing to walk a bit. Joe kindly offered to drive me to town for dinner after I arrived and to the train station in the morning when I was leaving town. All told, I really appreciated their hospitality and hope I'll get a chance to pass through again in the future.
