Cairbre House was our first B&B experience in Ireland. Brian was friendly and quite helpful with local sights and dining. His home is lovely and his gardens exquisite. Upon entering you are treated as a family guest and are comfortable exploring the grounds. My friend and I enjoyed relaxing on the terrace overlooking the river. It was a great way... more

The setting of Cairbre House, alongside the Colligan River estuary, is truly spectacular and is complimented it's the lovely gardens. These are maintained by the extremely welcoming and helpful proprietor, Brian. His choice of breakfasts are amongst the finest. Rooms are spacious and kept clean. Just be careful when driving out of House as it's a bit tricky. Highly recommended more

We stayed at Cairbre House two years ago and again this year what a lovely house, fantastic breakfast and a very enjoyable host Brian. Cannot recommend this enough if you enjoy quaint and homely feeling you must visit. more

The Cairbre House turned out to be not in the city of Waterford, but a 20 min. drive west from it, in the town of Dungarvan. We were initially very annoyed to learn that I had made an error since we had to backtrack. Thus, it was a special surprise to find such a beautiful home awaiting us. The house... more

Brian was very welcoming, the house had wonderful gardens to peruse. He prepared an excellent full Irish breakfast with frest herbs from the garden. The B&B was about a 15 minute walk to town. Dungarvan was a nice stopping point between Waterford and Cork. Merry's pub was a little gem. more

We were tired. We saw the signpost for Cairbre B&B as we were driving and impulsively turned down the street. I saw the house and, joking with my husband, said "oh please please please be it", knowing it probably wasn't. When we realized that this incredibly beautiful manor house WAS the B&B, I thought I'd gone to heaven. And that... more

Brian's Cairbre House is a one-of-a-kind Inn within a great town. Brian's greeting at check-in is genuine and his care for your experience not only at his Inn but within the town of Dungarven is sincere. The Cairbre House is historic and full or character, the house was built almost 200 years ago, and it has been an Inn for... more

Every little thing you could think of that a traveller might need had been thought of in this lovely B&B. The host, Brian, was delightful and most helpful in every respect. The rooms comfortable and nicely furnished, and the house and gardens in a lovely setting. We wished our schedule had allowed us to stay longer. more

There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said about Brian's B&B, but my hope is to reinforce how nice it is. The B&B is lovely from the outside all covered in ivy and with Brian's beautiful gardens, and then equally lovely on the inside...exactly how you would expect a charming B&B to be. The rooms were indeed... more
