The courtyard B&B was a fantastic place to stay for my daughter and I. We were traveling through from Killarney to Galway and stayed one night in this hotel. It was clean, warm, friendly, and Seiff. We did the banquet at Bunratty Castle, which was fun and in walking distance from this B&B, the beds were so nice that we overslept and missed breakfast however, I can only imagine it was great given all the other factors in this day . highly recommend.

Joe was super. We thank you so much for making it a great stay. Breakfast was one of the best we had in Ireland. And he had filtered coffee like home. We were able to walk to Bunratty castle from there as well. Would absolutely stay again. Joe gave us some great driving recommendations as well.
