“Nice stay in a great location, next to Blarney Castle”
Really friendly staff. Clean and comfortable inside the room. The pub below the rooms is a beauty - a real buzz on Saturday night. Had dinner there and the food was great quality. Surprisingly quiet in the room given it’s a busy pub on a Saturday.

Right in the centre of Blarney - across the green from the castle. Easy to find. Breakfast omelette was best we’d had in Ireland. Spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and rooms very quiet.
