What Our Guests Are Saying About Their Stay

“Barry and Fran’s place was our favorite out of the 5 places we stayed during our 9 night holiday in Ireland. The home was clean but so cozy, and the perfect retreat. We enjoyed having coffee and breakfast outside, and our own happy hour after a day of exploring Adare.”

We had a wonderful stay. The house and garden are lovely and even better than described. There were many considerate conveniences including breakfast items and more. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful and we adore their sweet dog too. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience - truly a perfect stay in Adare!

Staying at Bari and Fran's home was one of my favorite BnB experiences ever. Not only were we greeted by Barry who was incredibly friendly and gracious, we were totally taken with his beautiful home, the grounds, and just how lovely everything was. One of the highlights of our stay, however, has to be the warmest and friendliest greeting by Susie, Barry and Fran's amazing boxer dog. She truly made our stay feel right at home. I couldn't recommend Bari and friends place more. I truly hope one day I'll be back for Susie to greet us again.

Barry and Fran went above and beyond. They supplied toast, cereal, eggs, jams and juice. We were pleasantly surprised! If you are looking to enjoy a bit of country and true Irish hospitality this the place for you. Adare has so much to offer from great restaurants to traditional thatched roof homes. We would book again in a heartbeat!

I can’t say enough about this place. It was perfect. The hosts are so kind, and personable. The house was spotless. Extremely homey feeling while away from home. I’ve already told all my friends and family to come here. Beautiful countryside, and Adare is close by. I was traveling with my grandmother, and it was perfect the way the downstairs was setup for her to not have to deal with stairs, and the separation for anyone needing space upstairs. Thank you Barry and Fran for helping this be such a memorable experience. You’re doing everything right!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kilnockan Lodge. Barry and Fran were amazing hosts, very welcoming but also very respectful of our privacy. The place is immaculate and the grounds were beautifully kept. Our lodge was very comfortable and a perfect size for our family of 4. They had additional homely touches like breakfast items, biscuits to go with your tea and all bathrooms were fully stocked with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The location was great, only a short 2-3minute drive to Adare, which is a must to visit if you are in the area.

Outstanding rental for a week for our family of four. Barry could not be a more friendly, helpful host! Location is ideal as a central hub from which to explore western Ireland. It is an hour + to Galway, Dingle, Killarney and Cork. We went out touring every day, and it was such a pleasure to simply return "home" each night. And of course, Adare is incredibly charming on its own. Last, once again, kudos and tremendous thanks to Barry and Fran! We very much hope to return some day, and this is the only call I will make!
