Bed and Breakfast in Glandore

"The drive to and from the cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Driving through narrow country roads with miles of stone walls covered in wild flowers, grass, and moss is an experience all in itself. The cottage was immaculately maintained, spacious, and stocked with activities for the whole family, teens included. Picturesque views from every window and walls decorated by art from local artists and the collection of books by Irish authors to enjoy during our stay added to the experience. Reading Claire Keegan while overlooking the pastures and coast line was bliss, especially when accompanied by the homemade shortbread cookies complements of our hosts, Deidre and John. Did we mention the complementary fresh soda bread, milk, and sample of the local Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur? Delicious. We were even able to pick up a bottle at the airport on our way home. Another highlight of our stay at the cottage and in Ireland were the cows feeding in the pastures just outside the cottage. Loved the cows. Our walk to the cliffs with John and Deidreʻs dogs added to the experience. The surrounding communities were friendly and generous with their patience as we navigated the roads, numerous grocery stores, and local attractions. There are a lot of local shopping and activities within short driving distance of the cottage. Our only regret is not staying longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!"

"Staff were awesome and really homey vibe to the hotel"

"Shops close by"

"Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They were accommodating to any requests. Room could have been cleaner but very spacious and exactly what we needed. Beautiful location. Food at restaurant was good. "

"Beautiful beach side small resort. Staff were very lovely and the morning breakfast was delicious. Offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle. Wish we could have stayed longer. "

"Our family of three (two adults and a 17 year old) history buffs were so excited to have the opportunity to stay in this castle. Stephanie was very clear that she had been very intentional about how she restored the castle and it was exactly as described. The outside and parts of the inside were restored but not updated so that we could really immerse ourselves in the history and truly feel the lives of the people who had lived there. When we were in need of a more modern break and some creature comforts, we escaped to the top floor where we lounged in the sunshine and the beautiful view. Thank you Stephanie for preserving this precious piece of history and for sharing it with us. Some advice is to bring your own pillow and blanket if you will be sleeping anywhere but on the top floor if you have any allergies. The castle is by its nature, damp and I'm sure it's impossible to keep the linens fresh especially in the rainy spring when we visited. Also bring some sturdy soled slippers/inside shoes for navigating the stairs. "

"Room was a closet. Website was very misleading. "

"Room was reasonably quiet, comfortable. Breakfast cooked element was good. Had avocado toast. Staff were mostly pleasant and accommodating apart from one or two staff members who could smile and interact with the guests. "

"Excellent all round- really could not fault "
