“Nice BnB in beautiful surroundings”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010

Stopped in at this place as myself and the wife were looking for a stopover in south east waterford, in my opinion one of the most scenic places in the south east. This BnB is nestled just off the main road outside of Lismore, which itself boasts a castle and countless other scenic views. Lismore itself is a stones throw from the BnB, about 15 minutes walk, although the proprietor Peter (who is extremely helpful by the way!) runs a car service to bring bnb customers between the BnB and Lismore. I am usually very picky when it comes to staying at BnBs as we have had a few bad experiences, but I genuinely liked this quaint BnB. Another neat feature is the green approach Peter and his wife Els take to running Glenribbeen, added on top of the beautiful walk, and also the option of learning archery, which i wanted to partake in, but my stay was too short! I will definitely be coming back! thanks Peter and Els! ps. thanks to Pete for allowin me to use his photos! see ya in october buddy!

“One night stay in Lismore”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010

Oh My, Peter and Els must be the most spectacular hosts. My husband and I were 'oh so tired' from the trip in from Dublin and they treated us as old friends. We only stayed one night but we wish we could have stayed a week. Els's breakfast is out of this world!

Peter is a walking mind of inforormation - Els's cooking is sublime.
Great to stay in a place that really does exactly what it says on the tin.
Well done to you both.

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

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!”

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.
