“Great B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

The Courtyard is a great property between Shannon and Limerick. The building is relatively new. The rooms were large, quiet and clean. The hosts were gracious. This is more of a small hotel as a opposed to a traditional B&B. It combines the best of both. There is a big castle close by to see. There are also a few good pubs within walking distance. Great value all in for sure. I would stay here again.

“Great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011 via mobile

Mike and Mary could not have done more to make our group comfortable . They laid on full breakfast at crazy hours when we needed it and had hot water bottles waiting when we got home :) very professional

“Great location and best irish breakfast of our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Micheal and Mary were helpful, friendly, accomodating hosts. This comfortable B&B is close to pubs, restaurants and Bunnratty folkpark and castle. It is so easy to find as it is just off the dual carriage way (motorway) but in a quiet area. We had our best irish breakfast here and also enjoyed the freedom of not needing to order the night before. We spent two nights at The Courtyard and wish it had been more. This was also the least expensive B&B we stayed in. The location is great for exploring the surrounding area.
We would return if we are ever back in County Clare.

“The Proprietors Were Fantastic Hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The quaint B&B is located in the small village of Bunratty, and the owners couldn't be any nicer! The lounge is very pleasant with a big fireplace. The rooms were spacious, well-priced, in good condition & clean. The bed was quite comfortable too. Breakfast was both continental fair & a traditional Irish breakfast with sausage, eggs, toast, white & black pudding and bacon, and the dining room was beautiful also. There's a couple of nice pubs/restaurants in town, and Bunratty Castle is definitely worth the price. If you're in the area and need a place to stay, you can't go wrong with this place!
