Joe was really such a great host, also offering helpful tips on traveling in Ireland. Breakfast was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable. I travel a lot and stay in many places but the hospitality, facilities and friendliness were amazing. The Courtyard is a short walk from the downtown area, which is very quaint with pubs, restaurants and the Bunratty Castle.

Mary was a wonderful hostess! Her hospitality was unmatched and her cooking was delicious. Our room was clean and comfortable. We cut our visit short by a day, only because it was off the beaten path and quite far from where we had plans booked. If I had things to do specifically in the area I would definitely stay again.

Rooms were good size and clean but could use a decor refresh. Blackout curtains and new bed pillows would be a good start. Breakfast was great and it was conveniently located to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and several restaurants all within walking distance. I would stay here again if I’m back in this area. If
