We were supposed to stay in Achill Island but it was full & decided to try Newport. Upon our arrival, John the host, welcomed us at the entrance & helped with our bags to our room. We stayed for 5days. John is very informative of Newport area, giving us tips of where to go. He cooks a mean Boxty brekkie! Try it, you'll know what I mean. Comfy beds & great power shower after a long mountain hike. The only downside is the walls in the room is quite thin, I could hear the next door person snoring as I am a light sleeper. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, will definitely return to stay here.

John welcomed us when we checked in at the bar. Our rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfast included in our package was delicious (eggs, beans, potato boxty, spinach, tomato). Staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed stopping in at the bar for a pint, observing the crowd, and chatting with the bar tender - sometimes John himself. The location is right on the main street through Newport.

I visited Brannens last week for a two day stay. The rooms were clean and well maintained as was the en-suite bathroom and shower. The bed was very comfortable with the bedding crisp and clean. The room had TV and tea making facilities also. The B&B has its own street entrance, which is great, so its more like a small hotel than a B&B. The breakfast was superb. I had the Full Irish on both mornings but there was a great choice on offer on the menu. The owner, John Chambers, is a lovely man. Very friendly and welcoming and helpful as were his room staff and those behind the bar. The bar is a locals bar and the atmosphere is welcoming so if you stay be sure to have a pint or two there, Good service and friendly helpful staff are the benchmarks of a good place to stay and Brannens passes this test with flying colours. Room rate was excellent too. I'll visit again no problem.…

The place looked the same as it was two yrs ago both inside and out but you cannot improve on perfection. As ever John was a great host and all the amenities were in place. The staff are most obliging and as soon as you walk in you feel at home. A delightfully clean bar served with a smile to all. Keep up the good work.

John and his staff are the definition of Proper Irish Hospitality. They treated me like I was someone they had known for years, and were always forthcoming will good chats, help and advice on the local area. Great place for a pint, possibly one of the best pints in Ireland. Interesting locals too! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and for the price, I honestly doubt you could do better anywhere along the West of Ireland, considering there was breakfast included. All the best John and we'll catch you again, either there or down our way!
