Loved this place! Proprietor could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. Music was playing while we ate which was a nice touch. Within walking distance of Bunratty Village which was so convenient. Room was clean and comfortable and decor was very nice. The lounge was comfy. Overall a great experience!

A great stay!

Cute and comfortable place, nicely appointed, and convenient parking. Welcoming and friendly host, and tasty breakfast - great all around. There are several restaurants with live music a quick walk up the road, and laundry machines at the gas station nearby. Close to Bunratty castle if your visiting there, and not far from Limerick (our main destination - Clare Glen is a lovely walk!)

We rented three rooms, all were very nice and clean. All of us had the best rest as the mattresses were very comfortable and the linens were of really good quality. The showers had really hot water and soap and shampoo was available. The B&B had two large comfortable areas were you could hang out and relax. Breakfast was available for a fee. You could select from hot food and cold. They had lots of breads, cereals, fruit and juice available. Breakfast was great, the owner was the cook. Right next door was a restaurant and bar that was open until 1 AM. I would stay here again, Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay in Bunratty

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard B&B. Despite having the place to ourselves, the friendly staff went out of their way to make sure we were fully taken care of with a huge breakfast spread. The beds were very comfortable but most of all, the friendly staff made it a memorable experience we will never forget.

Such a wonderful stay at Courtyard B&B. It was our final night in Ireland and we loved being very close walking distance to Durty Nelly's for our last hurrah before the flight home the next day. The rooms very adorable and the staff was very friendly. We had an excellent breakfast the next morning that was included cooked to order.  We definitely recommend staying here for anyone who wants to be in close proximity to Bunratty Castle and Durty Nellys !

We had a wonderful stay! Joe was a pleasure to chat with and gave us great recommendations on places to visit, places to eat and things to see. Not to mention he’s a terrific cook! This was by far our favorite place to stay out of our whole trip to Ireland!
