    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like!

    The location was excellent and central to places to see not on the coast. The charm and character were warm and welcoming! The staff and their customer service was so personable!

    The breakfast was superb, a lot of local produce , eggs from their own hens and served by the owner and assistant. The breakfast room is very pleasing and there was an opportunity to talk and chat with other guests.

    We had an incredible time here. The house and property are impressive and you could tell there's been a lot of thought and time and effort put into it. The house and rooms are in exceptional condition. Clean, modern, and comfortable. I didn't know about, or notice, the hot tub when booking, but experiencing a soak under the stars was not only recuperative but an wonderful memory. If things couldn't get better, we only had to sleep. Ciara prepared an Irish breakfast that was truly special. All local ingredients, including some very local eggs. Look, this is a phenomenal place to stay. If you need a central homebase to see Rock of Cashel and Cork, this is it. Stop, you found it.

    Ciara is one of the best hosts I’ve ever stayed with. She went well out of her way to welcome me and my dog. I love the sustainable principles, all the extra touches, the breakfast was delicious and Ciara helped me find the best spots to sightsee. She was absolutely perfect.

    Exceptional accommodation with a real attention to detail from the interior design to food ( breakfast) and one of the best honesty bars i’ve come across. Ciara has clearly put a lot of love into this renovation. Plenty of outdoor space - we were lucky to have stayed in a hot evening - so sat with a bottle of wine in the sunshine .

    The walk into Mitchelstown by old historic work house was lovely. However, the last bend on the road into town was extremely dangerous, crossing for pedestrians onto the road into the town. A foot bridge inside this road would be welcomed for tourist safety.

    The owner, Ciara, was amazing. She connected in via WhatsApp message the day before to confirm arrival time. We were delayed as we needed to charge our car at Cashel, but Ciara said she had car charging facilities, which was fantastic. We were welcomed with a lovely friendly smile and given a tour of the renovated cottage and facilities which are amazing, we enjoyed the lovely out buildings and hot tub

    Honestly, nothing!

    We loved everything about our stay at Barnahown, Mitchelstown. The accommodation is beautiful, every detail has been chosen with care by the owner Ciara so that it looks lovely, feels comfortable and everything is sourced locally, from the lemonade in the fridge to the artwork on the walls and the keys to the bedroom doors. We had two great nights of sleep and fabulous breakfasts. Ciara was very helpful in meeting my special dietary requirements. The food was delicious! The hot tub is a delight with great views of the mountains and fragrances from the garden which has been lovingly planted and promises to be even more special as it grows. We also really appreciated Ciara taking the time to create an itinerary for us, and we had a fantastic day enjoying both a walk and visiting some local sights. It really was the most enjoyable stay and we hope to be back again in the future!

    Wish we had stayed more than one night, but we do plan to be back!

    Ciara is an absolutely delightful host -- welcoming, friendly and passionate about her B&B and about building the local community. She has a keen eye for design and has done an amazing job renovating the place. The overall ambience is just great. We are breakfast people, and her offering was top notch, with delicious locally sourced ingredients and thoughtful attention to detail. We also enjoyed meeting the local calves just behind the jacuzzi area. We will definitely return and look forward to seeing the results of her phase two expansion!

    We had a truly wonderful experience at this charming B&B. The place is new and beautifully maintained, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The décor is tasteful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable – we slept like babies! We enjoyed a generous and delicious breakfast featuring fresh, local products. It was the perfect way to start the day. A special mention goes to Ciara, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. She truly goes above and beyond to make her guests feel comfortable. We can’t recommend this place enough!!!

    That we'd only booked one night, which was not enough time to experience the hot tub and explore the gorgeous surroundings.

    I loved all the thoughtful touches and superb attention to detail. The room was so tastefully decorated and furnished. Thrilled to have such a very quiet room. Great facilities. So delighted to have a dog friendly room. Incredible breakfast with local produce.
