We love our stay here. It felt like we were staying in an old manor house. I loved the dogs which were very friendly and loved attention. Our room was HUGE with a king size bed and a twin bed with a sitting are. It was decorated in gold and ivory. The bathroom had everything we needed and a really... More

As fas as the room, the bed was sumptious (comfy), the bathroom was modern and clean. The hostess was sweet and very helpful. Loved Jennie the dog and the other sweet dogs (we... More

This B&B was amazing. We had a huge room (two king-sized canopy beds for my wife and me). The breakfast was the best we had at all the B&B's we stayed at. There was plenty of room, both in the house and outside to relax and enjoy ourselves. It was so quiet. And, the price was as reasonable as any... More

The Maranatha Country House was by far the most beautiful bed and breakfast of our entire trip. Not only were the rooms a treat for the eyes but they were inviting and comfortable. We wanted to stay for weeks. We felt like royalty staying in a castle! The breakfast, too, was incredible. It was "solarium-style" surrounded by glass, incredible views,... More

Staying at Maranatha was definitely a highlight of our holiday and we hope to come back. It was by far the nicest, most comfortable establishment we had. The room was beautifully decorated, the bed plush and comfortable. The Breakfast Room is a feast for the eyes. It is a solarium filled with flowers and finery and has a view of... More

This country house is magnificent and a destination on it's own. Actually, we felt that the Blarney castle was quite overrated and thought that this house is what made our side trip to Blarney worth it! It's a very unique opportunity to be able to enjoy a property like the Maranatha house for such a great value. The house itself... More

Maranatha Country House was such a welcome surprise for us during our recent trip to Ireland. Olwen and Douglas were terrific hosts and made us feel very welcome in their magnificent home. The grounds are very beautiful, and while the site is quite secluded from the din of traffic, it is easily accessible from the main road into Blarney. Our... More

Our stay at Maranatha Country House was one of fond memories. Their rooms were large, themed, and beautiful, and their property was fun to explore. Their breakfast was undeniably the largest selection we came across in Ireland. The owners were very kind and accommodating. We would recommend this B&B for anyone staying near Blarney. The entire experience from start to... More
