This was our 3rd. stay at "Travellors Joy" in Blarney, Ireland. We keep going back because the owner "Gertie" absolutely the BEST....her Breakfasts are delicious. The home and gardens are beautiful. The real JOY in Travellers Joy is Gertie.

The home is lovely with very clean, well appointed, and spacious rooms and the garden is delightful. Sean is meticulous with the plantings in the garden and Gertie is a... More

My father and I had a very pleasant stay on our visit to Ireland. Gertie was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The house was beautiful, as are the gardens! Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great breakfast to top it all off!

We stayed one nigth at Travellers Joy Bed and Breakfast. It is a very nice and quiet place. The hostess warmly welcomed us with a cup of tea / coffee and cakes. For the dinner, she recommended the Blair's Inn restaurant not far from the bed and breakfast. A nice restaurant with very good food. In the morning, we had... More

We had the pleasure of staying here for one night. Luckily for us Gertie had room for our family of 5. We arrived in Blarney late from a day of driving and without reservations. Gertie Recommended a wonderful restaurant, Blairs Inn, for our dinner and we woke to a terrific breakfast. We all had a wonderful,first bed &breakfast experience...

This B&B was very comfortable with beautiful gardens. It was close to Blarney Castle and the Woolen Mills Store. We were able to walk to the local pubs for drinks after dinner and not have to worry about driving. Gertie was a fantastic hostess, who offered lots of suggestions and truthfully enjoyed chatting with us. She offered us lots of... More

We just returned from a week's trip across the west and southwest of Ireland. Although all our bed and breakfast hosts were welcoming and gracious, Gertie at Travelers Joy was by far the best. If you plan on seeing the sights in the Cork City area, Travelers Joy is the place to stay. I cannot recommend it enough.
