My husband and I stayed with Bridget the night before a wedding. She is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Nothing is a problem and she will help you with absolutely anything, including a wardrobe malfunction that I had the morning of the wedding. The rooms and en suites are beautifully clean with extreme care... More

After a week and a half of travel, we could not have picked a better place for the last leg of our trip. My wife and I stayed for three nights, and Desmond Lodge served as a convenient home base for visiting Limerick, Adare, Killarney, and the Cliffs of Moher (on the way out). What we didn't realize until we... More

This was another extremely pleasant surprise during our Irish tour. The B&B is clean, new and attractive in an beautiful rural setting and the owner is a great host. The rooms were very nice with clean and new bathroom fixtures. Breakfast was very good. The surrounding area is extremely interesting with a number of stone circles and neolithic burial sites...

She immediately made us tea and coffee and provided delicious warm scones. Our big issue was that our Garmin GPS european... More

Desmond Lodge was the last B&B that we stayed at during our trip to Scotland and Ireland(seven in all). Desmond was special because of the owner, Bridget. She is a very welcoming person who truly enjoys people and conversation. She has a beautiful home overlooking Lough Gur- a quiet country setting. Breakfasts were top notch. You will feel at home...

The rooms are a good size and very clean and comfortable. The house overall is lovely. The breakfast was delicious. The area around Lough Gur is also very scenic, historically... More

We stayed one night at Desmond Lodge, unfortunately we couldn't stay longer! Bridget was very welcoming and greeted us with tea and scones, wonderful after a long drive. Our room was lovely and comfortable, overlooking the lake and the breakfast filling and tasty. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Desmond Lodge. We also recommend Clancy's in Bruff for... More

Bridget was the most wonderful hostess, so accomodating and charming. We felt like we had know her our whole lives just from the moment we entered the... More
