“A very nice stay in Bunclody.”
The Monkey Puzzle is such a lovely building in nice grounds. Everything was exceptionally clean, tidy and comfortable. Agnes was very communicative and available to answer any questions. We had a shared bathroom that I didn’t realise that I had booked at the time of booking but to be honest the toilets and showers were spotless and it wasn’t a problem.

We had a very welcome stay at the Monkey Puzzle (thank you Agnes!). Everything you need is there, a towel, a little soap, good showers, well provided kitchen so you can cook a meal. Would definitely recommend!

“Comfortable.”
It was very clean. The kitchen was super and the dining room was very homely. The showers / toilets were spotless. We really appreciated this. The location was super. The Blackstairs will be explored during a future trip. Bunclody is quite beautiful if one takes the time to explore. Within walking distance to SuperValu is a definite selling point.
