“The very best local knowledge, good food & proper hospitality”

Reviewed 9 May 2010

people found this review helpful

Els and Peter O'Connor know what they're doing - and there's always something taking place at Glenribbeen Eco Lodge. It's great to come to a place where the lodger is genuinely welcome and interaction with the hosts is de rigueur. Peter is a walking encyclopedia on all subjects from local healer Valentine Greatlakes to ecotourism via an old tune he heard 40 years ago, with a wry smile and a quick wit. Els is a most gracious and meticulous hostess - her famous breakfast will set you up for a day's touring. Glenribbeen Eco Lodge has been celebrated for leading the way in ecotourism and rightly so - this is the sort of place that others will need to follow, but few if any will match the verve and imagination the O'Connor's manage to generate. Long may it continue!

“Lovely hosts and YUMMY breakfast!”

Reviewed 7 May 2010

people found this review helpful

Stayed at Glenribbeen in March 2010, wanted to get away for a weekend and what a gem! Peter and Els are the perfect hosts and their eco lodge is gorgeous, close to Lismore and has some lovely hens you can always have a chat with the next morning! It's these hens that provide the yummiest eggs for Els' special breakfast...do not leave here without trying! Ate in a lovely restaurant in Lismore called The Chop House and the owner drove us back to Glenribbeen after our meal, now that's service! Places like Glenribbeen provide a unique welcome that you can only get in a great Irish B+B and it's why I'm going to holiday at home this summer. Will definitely be back.

“Excellent Green B&B”

Reviewed 5 May 2010

people found this review helpful

just returned from short stay at this magnificent B&B, room communal areas & breakfast area were all spotlessly clean. Breakfast was wonderful and the choice was great. I was in awe at the manner that these people run their B&B whilst all the time taking into consideration their carbon footprint and the planet. Will certeinly go back for some more tips and a relaxing break Thanks again

A clean, quiet, easy to find place near cultural activities. I explicitly enjoy the ecological way this B&B is run.

Thanks so much for taking the time to sign up to TripAdvisor and compliment us.
I am really delighted you enjoyed your stay and perhaps we'll see you again in Spring-Summer when the garden is is at it's best.

It's very important to me that you noted our eco-efforts in your review. It's nice to get the recognition - at the personal level.

I hope too you enjoyed the breakfast. It's something else we work hard at.
Peter

“lovely area, lovely accomadation and lovely hosts!!”

GEL&A is situated in a nice area. Lismore is nearby like the nicest areas as Dungarvin, Dunmore East and the Knockmealdown Mountain's. See the location as a base to discover the surrounding areas. And when coming "home" two very nice people will be there for you to, if you wish, cook. The "b" for breakfast has to be a capital B we can tell you.
