My husband and I loved our stay at the Ardmore. Chris was an amazing hostess! She greeted us warmly and had a fire waiting for us in the sitting room. She also helped us with our dinner plans. She even walked down to the local pubs and called the nearby castle on our behalf. Our room was clean and comfortable with a peaceful view. We enjoyed dinner at the castle and met wonderful people in the pub a short walk from the home. Chris made us a tasty breakfast the following morning that we enjoyed with a view of the garden. The Ardmore is a beautiful home! Our stay with Chris was by far our favorite during our time in Ireland. We will definitely be back!

There were water pipe problems and so the hosts cancelled all bookings except ours, and we got the big room downstairs instead of upstairs. Room was very big and clean. Really pleased with it. Not much of a view from downstairs though. The hosts know what they are doing. They even have a mini bar with a price list! Breakfast was very good and nicely presented.
