We loved our stay at Cullentra House. Olive is the consummate host, ensuring every detail meets her high standards. We were welcomed on the afternoon of our check-in to her well-established and beautifully-situated B&B with tea/coffee and homemade cake. The room, ensuite bathroom, and the rest of the public areas of her house were sparkling clean. On-site parking was easy and plentiful. Our bed and linens were very comfortable. Olive's breakfast was unsurpassed, with more options than a restaurant menu and served in elegant table settings. We certainly hope to return!

We had the most enjoyable 2 nights stay with Olive & James at Cullentra House. The hospitality was exceptional, & the scenery from their warm home was breathtaking. Everything was so perfect! The breakfast made by Olive was absolutely delicious. She also gave us scones to go everyday. James & Olive were so informative with restaurants to go to & also they helped us in our sightseeing plans each day. We would stay here again if we were in the area. We recommend it to everyone .
