What a charming bed and breakfast! First the friendly staff makes you feel very welcomed to start. Then the clean comfortable spacious room and the lovely bed makes you feel home. And they immediately refresh you with some tea and cake soon after your arrival. The breakfast was lovely, and the swing on the front, the trail behind the house... All wonderful! I also ordered the picnic for the hike, and it had enough to feed four for just the two of us. I would definitely recommend. ##### Celia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cadie Apr 20, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay! This place is charming, comfortable and welcoming. Our breakfast was delicious...the French toast is a must. Would love to have stayed longer... ##### Cadie ### 10/10 Excellent #### J & T Jul 23, 2009 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### charming country house We loved the antiques and charming decor of Ballyknocken House. The breakfast was delicious and included some unique choices including apple-celery juice! The dining and house staff were efficient and friendly and we appreciated the quiet in the nighttime after our city stay. The only noise; the bleating of our neighbors, the sheep. Good place for some down time after Dublin. ##### J & T ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 13, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth, NI Apr 14, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ruth ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 20, 2010 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Moore Bay Holiday Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkee-Hotels-Moore-Bay-Holiday-Homes-18A.h58999302.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay View House](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenmare-Hotels-Bay-View-House.h44657760.Hotel-Information) > > [The Johnstown Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Enfield-Hotels-The-Johnstown-Estate.h906965.Hotel-Information) > > [Base Accommodation Dingle](https://www.expedia.ca/Dingle-Hotels-Base-Accommodation-Dingle.h39454253.Hotel-Information) > > [Hylands Burren Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballyvaughan-Hotels-Hylands-Burren-Hotel.h527303.Hotel-Information) > > [Lansdowne Kenmare](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenmare-Hotels-Lansdowne-Kenmare.h64739763.Hotel-Information) > > [Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Moyvalley-Hotels-Moyvalley-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h1988091.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Birch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Silver-Birch-House.h44818059.Hotel-Information) > > [Barr na Sraide Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Dingle-Hotels-Barr-Na-Sraide-Inn.h17412368.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballingarry-Hotels-The-Mustard-Seed-At-Echo-Lodge.h5065569.Hotel-Information) > > [Mannin Bay Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballyconneely-Hotels-Mannin-Bay-Beach-House.h41970409.Hotel-Information) > > [Carrygerry Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Shannon-Hotels-Carrygerry-Country-House.h1768096.Hotel-Information) > > [Glendine Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Arthurstown-Hotels-Glendine-Country-House.h6822488.Hotel-Information) > > [Brandon House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Ross-Hotels-Brandon-House-Hotel.h1222016.Hotel-Information) > > [Corcreggan Mill](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Corcreggan-Mill.h36961304.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballybunion-Hotels-The-Tides-BB.h4874269.Hotel-Information) > > [Fitzgerald's Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundoran-Hotels-Fitzgeralds-Hotel.h3124372.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilton Hotel Bray](https://www.expedia.ca/Bray-Hotels-Wilton-Hotel-Bray.h33341287.Hotel-Information) > > [The River's Edge Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Killorglin-Hotels-The-Rivers-Edge-Guest-House.h37896728.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming, Modern Masonette in Fermoy River Town.
