We had a wonderful one-night stay in Lorum last month. Bobbie was a wonderful host, and had tea and freshly-baked cookies for us on arrival. Our room was spacious, with a wonderful 4 poster bed. In the evening, after a g&t in the living room, Bobbie served up a delicious 5-course meal in the cosy dining-room. A great welcome, and... More

Stayed here recently for 1 night while at a wedding in nearby Borris. Lovely old house and found the owner Bobbi to be as helpful and friendly as mentioned in other reviews. The rooms were excellent and spent nearly an hour and a half over breakfast. Would have loved to have tried dinner as would think from the quality of... More

Stayed at Lorum for a night while attending a wedding locally in June 2012. Bobbie the owner is not only a great cook but a real traditional Irish hostess who went out of her way to make us feel welcome (including driving us to the wedding reception!). We rarely stay in guesthouses in Ireland these days because of the number... More

As a previous reviewer noted- perhaps this place really should be kept an exclusive secret! Bobbie makes you feel more like you are a treasured good friend who has come to visit rather than a paying guest. In the evening she settles you down in the sitting room with a drink while she prepares dinner - served in an impressive... More

Now don’t get me wrong, we had the best time of our lives on this Ireland vacation and the rest of the Bed and Breakfast(s) that we stayed at were wonderful and we made new found friends but after staying at the Lorum Old Rectory at the tail end of our vacation, we could have stayed there the whole time...

Spent an idyllic weekend at this beautiful residence where we enjoyed two peaceful nights sleep in sumptuous beds. Dinner was superb, as were the cooked breakfasts and we were well looked after by our genial host, nothing was too much trouble for Bobbie. We were attending a wedding in nearby Borris House (4 miles from Lorum). We had an absolutely... More

It's about three years since my previous review so I'm just confirming that everything is every bit as good now as it was then. Bobbie is an excellent host who keeps her lovely, historic property spotlessly clean and her garden is a delight on warm days. Breakfasts are delicious, leisurely and very substantial and the evening meal (which has to... More

Normally when writing reviews on this site, the purpose is to share experiences with fellow travellers. However, I am somewhat reluctant to write a review of this Guesthouse as it is one of those places that deserves to be discovered by a select few. It is one of those hidden gems that I would like to remain hidden so that... More

This is one of the 'Hidden Ireland' locations, a small establishment (4 or 5 rooms) that is ideal for a quiet few nights away. Other guests have already pointed out all the wonderful features and all I can do is agree. Rooms are spacious, quiet, and a good night's sleep. The food is excellent, and we also had the dining...
