“Most Awful Experience Ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2007
3
people found this review helpful

Booked 2 nights at the beginning of our trip. On arrival discovered Frommer's adjective, "scenic," was totally wrong. Our front room overlooked a gravel parking lot next door to a petrol/convenience store. It was a noisy location, as was the Jordan's young son who was banging a toy on the reception desk after we arrived. Exhausted after a long drive we went to dinner to discuss our situation. After dinner we told Mrs. Jordan we wanted to cancel the 2nd night. She was very upset. Later my husband went out to call what he thought was the B&B Family Network & instead got Mrs. Jordan. He was not critical but just said our plans had changed. She said there would be no problem. We'd given our credit card, including the security code to make the reservation & thought the charge would be put through by Abbey Villa. When preparing to leave, her husband (dour, thin lipped, red faced) approached the car & rudely said "I'd like to be paid." My husband went w/ him to take care of this and after 4 attempts were made...ea. time printing a tape that indicated, "phone line busy or not connected," he paid in cash. When we returned home on the 22nd we found that the B&B Family Network charged us the same amt. so we thought the Jordans must have put through a charge for the canceled night. When we tried to clear this up Mr. Jordan via e-mail was verbally abusive, accusing us of having our credit cards rejected. He threatened posting worldwide on the net what horrible & rude people we were. (I had never interacted w/ him.) He has an extremely short fuse & is exceptionally ill-mannered. We will never take another trip without reviewing TripAdvisor. When I read the review by the fella from Dublin, that would have made me cancel immediately. We operated a B&B for 5 yrs. & never misrepresented our lodging nor treated anyone rudely, even when we thought they may have been wrong. Mr. Jordan needs to take an anger management course. Fortunately, the remainder of our two-week trip was filled with lovely, warm Irish folks who were welcoming & lovely so we're not left with a bad taste of Ireland.

“Rude owners”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2007

people found this review helpful

I booked in for 2 days. My travel plans changed and I had to leave after the first night. I had to endure the owner calling me a "blaggard" for this. I paid for both nights to stop the aggression. Some people should not be in the hospitality industry. As an Irishman I pray that none of our overseas visitors get an impression of Ireland from an establishment like this. Not Recommended!!!!!

I stayed in Abbeyvilla for 4 nights in january of this year and found it to be a really nice place to stay. The host and her family were all really nice to us and told us alot about the area and suggested places to go and things like that. The food was lovely. All in all i could not fault it. A pleasure. I plan to stay with them again in the summer.

“Insulting experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2005
11
people found this review helpful

We had the most insulting experience in all of Ireland at Abbey Villa. After a four-hour car drive through holiday traffic from Dingle to Adare, we arrived to find that the host had mistakenly booked a twin instead of a double room for us. I had called the day before and clearly stated our needs, which were confirmed in detail over the phone. Upon arrival, we were rudely greeted, and even though the host had an empty guesthouse, she was unwilling to change our room to the one we originally requested, without apology or explanation. This was clearly a misunderstanding but she gave us no choice but to leave in search for other last minute accommodation. To top it off, we were assured we would be charged the full amount for the twin room. Our last night in Ireland was reduced to a mad search for a room on a bank holiday weekend.

“Wonderful stay at the Abbey Villa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2003

people found this review helpful

This had to be one of the best places we stayed at in Ireland. The Jordan family are wonderful hosts, and their home is beautiful. We had the family room. which was huge, immaculate and very pretty (and en suite.) Their living room is large, warm and has satellite TV for those interested. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and Mrs. Jordan makes a mean French toast!! We had a great time with them, and the you really do get a great value here.
