“Spotless room, wonderful breakfast, friendly hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010

Ard Ri House is a purpose-built family-run B&B at the edge of Cashel. For €37.50 pps we had a spacious, spotless en suite room with comfortable beds, kettle and tea-and-coffee tray, free wireless and the most sumptuous breakfast I have seen - excellent 'starter' buffet with fresh fruit salad among other things - porridge (oatmeal) cooked to order - and 'full cooked Irish breakfast' with generous servings. On top of that, our host and hostess could not have been more friendly and obliging.

The town of Cashel is overlooked by the 'Rock of Cashel,' an impressive cluster of medieval monuments that dominates from miles around. After years of driving past it, we decided we must stop, and it was well worth a visit. Our young guide was excellent, and it was fascinating to see the kind of restoration work that is being done. The town of Cashel has a lot to offer, too. Bolton's Library is full of atmosphere, and there, too, there was a well-informed and friendly guide to meet one. We had decided on a very short visit - the drive from Dublin, with new motorways, is now under two hours- but now we like the town so much we think we might go back...

I should add, we also had a very good, reasonable lunch and dinner at the Ladyswell Restaurant.

“Another thumbs up”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2010

One of the best B&Bs we visited on our 10 days in Ireland! Eileen is an excellent host -- the room was delightful (fully accommodated my 6'4" spouse!) & so was our breakfast. Great location for exploring the Rock & town of Cashel.

“wonderful place, extremely welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2010

I stayed here for one night with my grandmother after driving up to Cashel from Cork so was bit tired and looking forward to just relaxing. We were welcomed by Eileen and she immediately made us feel welcome and at home. Our room was quite large (was the family / twin room, had a double bed as well as a single bed) with a good sized en suite bathroom. We were shown around, told a bit about Cashel and restaurants etc and just had a chat. Eileen is a wonderful hostess and her family are all lovely and great to talk to. The coffee and tea station in the room was good, nice strong coffee! The decor was homely and welcoming in nice warm shades and the beds were very very comfy, I slept so well! The breakfast, wow, where do I start? Very good coffee and juices as well as a large selection of cereals, jams, yogurt, and so on as a buffet style on a side board, then we have the option of the pre-ordered breakfast ( I had their toast with cheese, bacon and pineapple, was so so good! and my gran, the scrambled eggs with salmon, also equally good!) each room / couple had their own table to sit at for breakfast which was nice and well set out.

Overall, I had a fantastic stay and the only problem was that I had to leave after only one night for the rest of my trip!

“Cleanest b&b and one of the most friendliest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2010

Eileen and her husband were lovely hosts and went out of their way to provide us with much detail around the surrounding area, what to see, where to eat, to enjoy our Irish holiday. Free internet and clean rooms made staying so enjoyable. A big thank you.
