We are just back from spending a fabulous weekend in Grennan’s Country House. From the grandeur of the main house to the self catering houses on the property, the experience from start to finish was fantastic. The place is spotless, our room in the main house was like a bridal suite. Nothing was a problem, beautiful home made Carrot cake to welcome us, trays of freshly baked scones each morning. We were a group of 19 and there was plenty of room for everyone. I would highly recommended a stay. I also would like to add, I left my phone charger in the room & they kindly offered to post it on to me. Such lovely people to deal with.

Just returned from the fabulous hospitality of Deirdre and Pat Grennan.Fantastic place for large groups , which can be accommodated, a number of ways between the main house and 3 self catering houses on the property. They are a pleasure to deal with before arriving , with no particilar request too much .Also while we were there,they looked after all 19 of us so well .We had the 50th birthday celebration stopped by covid , but well worth the wait to have in this fab setting , ideal for so many reasons. The fresh baked scones every morning certainly add to the experience. Only 10 minutes from Tullamore the Grennans and their property certainly score full marks from us . They came Highly reccommended to us from people who stay a few times a year to play golf at Esker Hills , minutes away.Having stayed ourselves we now will recommend to others too .…

We just spent the weekend at this beautiful country house b&b & beautiful 5 bedroom 6 bathroom homes on the property. After the tough covid lockdowns we were looking for somewhere to go and celebrate our friends 50th a year late i might add .just somewhere we could all be together and catch up & have fun. 19 of us arrived and Deirdre & Pat welcomed us and couldnt do enough to help us have the best time .The main house is so pretty & the houses out back are both huge and fully stocked with anything we could need for our weekend . Huge bedrooms , beautiful furniture and exactly what we needed . Thankyou so much we would highly recommend this property and Deirdre & Pat .

This was the second time I stayed. That in itself is an indication of how satisfied I was. My previous visit was some years ago - I had not visited Tullamore since then. The excellent standards I experienced on my first stay have been fully maintained. Other reviewers have pointed out the many outstanding features including the superb Irish breakfast. I would add: the fantastic hospitality and helpfulness of the proprietors.

Stayed here for the first time for my mums 70th birthday we hired the 2 houses with 5 rooms each. Prefect for a get together we were able to have breakfast/dinner and drinks at the houses. Rooms were lovely house very big, all rooms on-suite and lovely courtyard area to sit out. could not believe the food given to us milk/breads/jams to use. Even with the freshly baked scones delivered each morning. Prefect just 10 mins drive into Tullamore. Quiet and peaceful we were so well looked after we will be back again. Hi to Bruno and Lily the dogs who my kids loved to play with each day.

Grennan's in Tullamore was excellent. Quiet, picturesque, clean and comfortable. Full Irish breakfast was more than enough to get you through till supper. Tullamore was central and we used the train to visit Dublin (east) and Galway (west). The main house was nicely kept, but we had a separate lodging at the back...5 bedrooms all with private baths, family kitchen and living room. This is perfect setting for a family to travel together.

Grennan's was all and more of what I was told. It was like being at home. Dierdre was an excellent hostess and spent time when we arrived to make us feel welcome. We had our own kitchen and living area which was great to make a cup of tea and sit after a long day. This would be a perfect place for a family to spend a week. Tullamore was just down the road.

In visiting Ireland, you cannot go wrong with staying at Grennan's Country House B&B for a night or longer. Options for breakfast in the main house or self-catering in the cottages. The cottages are big enough for large families. Deirdre is a very gracious host and goes out of her way to make all feel like they are home in their own house. Her food is great and her smile Greater!! This was our second time staying at Grennan’s and will do so next time we are back in Ireland which won’t be too long. Thanks for your hospitality Deirdre Frank
