“A lovely Irish welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2010

We stayed in Aaron House, Kinnitty for 2 nights in January and wanted to post a review about what a lovely place to stay Aaron House is. Betty the owner is a lovely host and very hospitable. She looked after us and made us feel very welcome. She made the finest breakfast we've had in Ireland, the room was big and clean, with a lovely view of the farmlands and hills outside. She even put a couple of beers in the fridge for our arrival which was very sweet. Kinnity is a good place to stay with plenty to do around eg walking in the hills, the castle and grounds at Birr, the Tullamore Dew distillery etc. The local pubs are nice and friendly too. Overall it was a lovely stay, so if you are reading this Betty, then a big thank you from us both for a great Irish welcome!

“Aaron House- Look No Further”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2009

Aaron House has fine rooms and great food but the reason to stay here is the incomparable service of Betty and her husband Michael. Our car broke down on the way to Aaron House. Betty drove to get us and met us with hugs. Michael later drove us out to dinner and loaned us a cell phone to call for a ride back. Meanwhile, all that Saturday night and Sunday morning, Betty and Michael were trying to figure out where on a weekend to find us new tires and someone to repair the bent wheel (Thrifty rental was no help). On Sunday morning, Michael found a tire wholesaler who opened his store to sell the tire we needed, and Michael then waited outside the town church to track down another man who he knew had the equipment to mount the tire and repair the wheel. He paid both people out of his pocket first and insisted on mounting the repaired tire himself. Also, they loaned us a phone for calls we needed to make and accepted no money for the calls.
Betty and Michael represent the absolute finest in Irish hospitality and I would recommend that if your travels take you within 100 miles of Aaron House that you treat yourselves to their company- it will be the highlight of your visit.

“Really special”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2009

The rooms were very large, clean and the showers had good water pressure. Betty is an absolute delight and the house is wonderful. What a treat after a long day of driving. Beds are large and comfortable, breakfast was cooked nicely. It is amazing more people have not posted reviews on TripAdvisor for this house, this is one of the best places we stayed in our entire trip! If your trip takes you to Birr or Kinnitty you really won't be able to find a better place to stay in this price range than the Aaron House.

“Absolutely phenomenal stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2009

This B&B was absolutely amazing. The kindness of Betty Grimes and her family was so much more than my seven friends and I expected. Not only was the house itself clean, inviting, cute, and perfect for a relaxing stay, but the hospitality of its owners far surpassed our expectations. We stayed a mere two nights but by the end, we found it hard to leave. At least without a warm hug from Betty and doing what we could to show our gratitude. I would recommend this B&B to anyone and everyone. A great value for an amazing time!

Aaron House Guest House
My husband ,myself and three friends spent two weeks at Aaron House during the World Titles of Down the Line Shooting. I can not speak highly enough of Betty & Michael Grimes and their family. The hospitality was excellent with every whim catered for from food to information to services. The rooms were spacious and clean and well maintained.
