This was our first trip to Ireland and to attend our son's wedding. We were travelling with my elderly in-laws, best friends and our daughter and obviously needed somewhere to stay. We chose the B&B quite randomly but what a very pleasant surprise. Alvis the owner is the perfect host who is both very helpful and hard working. We wanted... More

We have just stayed as guests of Alvis and Ray and can only have the utmost praise for their hospitality.From the moment we arrived the welcome was unrushed and genuine and we were given our room which was spotlessly clean.The B & B is on a busy road but is somehow protected from traffic so you really are not aware...

My son and I spent our last evening in Ireland at the Great Keppel B&B and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We arrived late after driving all the way from Kinsale. Alvis was a wonderful hostess with a warm greeting although we arrived so late in the day. The lodge was very clean and we had... More

The welcome we got was second to none, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was superb! There were 4 other guests at breakfast [ a couple from the UK and a couple from France] and the conversation was excellent - not too difficult, I suppose, when we had all visited the Tall Ships! And the cost was the... More

This was a our second time of staying at the Great Keppel B&B when visiting the Dublin area on our fourth trip to Ireland and the primary reason was that Alvis, the hostess and owner, is just wonderful. I have never met a B&B hostess which is as personable and fun as Alvis. In additon, the B&B is located in... More

Alvis and Ray were gracious and welcoming hosts for our brief stay in the Dublin area. Alvis' breakfast was delicious and the room was fantastic. The entire place was sparkling clean and we loved the views onto the 2nd hole of Portmarnock Golf Course as well as the horticulture. We appreciated the copies of bus schedules, directions to the airport,... More

We recently spent two nights with Alvis and Ray. They were extremely accomodating and helpful. Directions were provided and any questions we had were cheerfully answered. Alvis even provided change so we could board the local bus to Dublin. The breakfast was great and we certainly did not leave hungry. We would return to this B and B any time... More

The owner, Alvis, was wonderful! :) She was very accomodating to our schedule and gave us fantastic suggestions for viewing in the city and around the area. The bus took us directly into the city. The view from the beach was wonderful. Wish we had more time there so we could have explored Malahide and Portmarnock more. It was a... More
