I've stayed with the Scanlons numerous times over the past 8 years. Each time was a delight. The food is outstanding. Often there is traditional entertainment in the sitting room at night if you are so inclined. My wife and I prefer the large room to the left rear on the 2nd floor with adjoining bath, but all the rooms are lovely and well appointed. Well worth the stop. Be prepared to eat an enormous breakfast, cooked and served by Kathrine herself ! Take time to visit the many ruins in Askeaton and walk along the river while there. We use Askeaton as base while touring Limerick and Kerry areas. Foynes and nearby Ballysteen are also worth a visit. Anthony Sheahan is the man to see if you want a historian to show you the various ruins around Askeaton. Inquire at the Travel Center for his number.

You will find few other reviews for this family run B&B as the majority of their business is business based. It is easily located by the road at the edge of the village of Askeaton about 1/2 hour from Limerick. The rooms are very large with en suite facilites (sink, toilet & shower) & all with comfortable bed & other furnishings including a TV. There is a downstairs sitting room leading to the breakfast room. Kathrine's welcome is second to none with refreshments & cake. She is eager to supply refreshments on request & always quick to welcome you back to the house. Breakfast is perfect (we even had easter eggs on the table on Easter Sunday!). The fire was lit for us each evening & the sitting room has comfortable leather sofa & chairs with satellite TV - if we hadn't had other things to do then we would have been sorely tempted to spend the evening lounging in front of the fire. Katherine is a very significant feature of this accommodation with her bubbly enthusiam & her children are all delightful & friendly without being too intrusive.

The purpose of our stay was to visit a friend who lives locally for a party so we spent little time at the house & our normal accommodation of choice would be a hotel but we would happily recommend this to others & stay again ourselves.

Cost €70 per room per night for 2 persons sharing B&B (£55 @ €1 to £0.78p)
