“Wonderful Place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2010

Ardmore House is lovely! It is in the small town of Kinnitty, which is pretty much in the very center of Ireland. There are many things to see around it, and lots of trails to hike. Kinnitty Castle is right up the road and the town of Birr was about 8 km away. When you enter Ardmore House you feel like you are at home. It was very comfortable and you always felt welcome. The room was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable and it was always very clean. Christina was an amazing hostess. She was always very kind and extremely knowledgeable about the area. She can tell you anything about the area! It was nice being able to go down to the lounge room to watch tv and chat about the day and what we would do the next day. She also made a wonderful breakfast :) If we ever have the pleasure of visiting Ireland again, I would definitely want to make a stop at the Ardmore House.

“Irish hospitality at its finest :-)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2010

My parents and I stayed here for three nights, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The rooms were very clean, and we all stayed plenty warm even in the cold Irish March. The Breakfast was excellent, and Chris is a great host! We enjoyed the quiet village of Kinnitty and were able to take some lovely hikes in the area. This was by far our favorite place that we stayed in during our trip in Ireland, and we definitely plan to return next year! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

“2 days to always remember”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2010

It has been less than 1 month since my husband & I had the honor of staying at The Ardmore House. The house was lovely, the rooms are beautiful & very clean and comfortable. The location was wonderful...County Offlay is what I picture when I think of Ireland. But the best part of Ardmore was the owner..Christina. Not only is she warm, friendly, knowledgeable, talented in cooking, running a business & playing a fiddle, she goes more than the extra mile for her guests. She will make you feel welcome & comfortable in her home and never gets fustrated being bombarded with questions.
My husband & I stayed in Ireland for 9 days. 2 of them was at Dromoland castle which was great, but the best time we had in all the days in Ireland, was at the Ardmore House. She has great advice for horse riding, and sight seeing. Don't waste your time at fancy castles, stay at Ardmore House & feel like you belong. I will never have a greater birthday than I did at Ardmore House, priceless. Can't wait to go back.

“A beautiful, well maintained Victorian house, set in its own grounds in the very picturesque village of Kinnitty.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2009

We have enjoyed two holidays at Ardmore House this year, in June and October. The house is set in a beautiful location at the foot of the Slieve Bloom mountains. Our room was spacious and comfortable and Christine, our Hostess, made us very welcome, treating us to homemade bread, scones and preserves with our cooked breakfasts.

Christine is a hive of information on the local scene and during this latest holiday we enjoyed traditional musical evenings and a Story Telling Festval. There is plenty to see and do from this location in the centre of Ireland. We still have much to explore.

“Walkers paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2009

As coordinator of a Belgian based walking group I was fortunate to make contact with Christina Byrne of Ardmore House who found accommodation for our 40+ participants in the village of Kinnitty. She also organised a local walk guide, John Scully, who shared with us his intimate knowledge Slieve Bloom mountains, its local history, flora and fauna. Those of us staying in Ardmore House were treated to the very best of traditional Irish hospitality -a great welcome, fantastic food including Christinas home baking, spacious comfortable rooms - and all this in the surroundings of a tastefully renovated Georgian building set in mature gardens with ample parking facilities.
