My boyfriend and I chose to stay at Stanley House in Schull due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews as well as the reasonable price for a 7 night stay in a double room.
The room was very clean, spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Although you can't really get around without a car, it's a short walk from the B&B to Main Street which has a good choice of restaurants and pubs (highly recommend the Bunratty Inn).
Nancy and her husband were absolutely wonderful hosts - very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was always worth getting up for!

We enjoyed our stay in the small village of Schull (recommended by Trip Advisor Forum). Stanley House is a beautiful house in a pictureque setting. The room & bathroom were very clean & comfortable. Nancy & Tom are very helpful & breakfast a delight. Stanley House is a little way out of town but we walked without any problems into town for dinner. The location is extremely quiet, we enjoyed our 2 night stay & wished we had been able to stay a little longer.

Beautiful location with stunning views. The room was good size and spotless. We were greeted on arrival by Nancy with tea/coffee and home made cake. The breakfast is freshly made to order and all options are catered for.

The location is a great base for travelling around the many scenic locations.

Friendly, warm and attentive ambience without being intrusive. Excellent.

"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself." Maya Angelou's words were written about such a place as Stanley House. From the moment you turn off the road into the parking area, you can see why--it's a beautiful place. Deer are roaming in the lower paddocks, wild flowers hang from the surrounding walls and Schull Harbor is seen in the distance. You enter through the front door greeted by peace, serenity and a friendly face. From the moment she meets you, Nancy turns you from a visitor into family. The accommodations are warm and cozy and clean enough to pass the toughest inspection. Breakfast is served graciously and if your daughter asks for pancakes, even though it's not on the hearty menu, Nancy smiles and obliges happily. But the richness of the place isn't just found in the building or it's interiors...it's in the spirit of Ireland that permeates from the owner/proprietor. Spend an afternoon chatting with her in the kitchen or in the solar room over tea and you will understand why so many have come to this house. It just feels like home. No matter what type of lodging you choose when traveling, Stanley House sets the standard by which very few can compare. Anywhere.
