I had the pleasure of staying in Emmet House recently and felt I had to post a review. This guest house scores highly for both the outstanding standard of accommodation as well as the wonderful welcome and level of service on offer. The room was extremely well appointed with a very comfortable double. Crisp linen, flat screen tv, tea and... More

We chose to stay in Birr as our travel plans had us getting in late to Dublin, and we wanted to see Clonmacnoise. Evelyn was so warm and accommodating, and our room with the gorgeous four poster bed overlooking the square was the perfect way to end our day. Our favorite part was the hot water bottle tucked in the... More

If you stay here you will see why all the revues are so good. The house has been decorated beautifully. Our room had a super view overlooking the town square in Birr. The room TV had more channels than I can remember anywhere in Ireland. Birr is a scenic midlands town. If you go during the Vintage week there will... More
