A lovely breakfast with a good selection of dishes rounded off our stay. Excellent value, well... More

The hosts were wonderful, breakfast very substantial and rooms just delightful. I loved the sitting room which gave me some space from travelling companions to just sit and read. The location was so handy for pubs and the high street. so quiet and peaceful and has off street parking.

Walcott B&B is a unique experience. The house itself is among the most beautiful and periodic in the Georgian town of Birr. Each room is nicer than the next with incredible window dressing and exquisite furniture, it is more than a B&B it is an experience in luxury living. Combined with the professional, personable and friendly service, this is one... More
