“Found The Courtyard by accident ... Will return intentionally!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

I am taking each of my grandchildren on one big trip. My 12 year old grandson and I were delighted with The Courtyard after a long drive from Kenmare. Before our flight into Dublin, we made reservations for a dinner, tour and the park at Bunratty Castle.

On the way to Galway, we accidentally discovered the Courtyard when I got off the highway to see where the Castle was. What a delight! Mary and Michael were very gracious hosts and gave excellent directions and advice for a trip to the Cliffs of Moher.

“beautiful location and property, Hosts were extrordinary.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2010

Super clean, very important as we had just escaped from a b&b with bed bugs. The hosts here helped us with getting to a high quality laundry service (and had sick daughter as well). The property is beautifully designed with incredible guest lounge. Next door to fantastic pub and restaurant. Just down the road - short walk from the castle & folk park. Stay here if you are going to Bunratty - you won't regret it.

“ABSOLOUTE BEST B & B IN ALL OF IRELAND!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

person found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Courtyards 4 times. I will be there again in September and can't wait to return. It is the absolute best B & B in all of IRELAND!!! Michael and Mary are the best and treat you like you are a true friend. The place is so clean you could eat off of the floors!!! HUGE rooms and very quiet. They take a great deal of pride in the B & B and you can teally tell that they care about the people. Staying there you would think it is a brand new place. The floors and tile in the bathrooms sparkle and the shower is as good as the one at home and the bed is extremely comfortable!!!! This is a TOP CLASS 5 star accommodation. I have been in the hotel industry in America for many years and this facility has the best charm, personality and caring staff you would ever want to meet. Last time I stayed, I forgot my alarm clock. Mary had one right there for me to use. Breakfast was superb!!! and the towels are nice and fluffy ,like new. Michael even remembered me the minute I drove up. Very reasonable for what you get and I would definately say stay at the Cortyards you will NEVER ever be disappointed. In fact, you will want to return again and again. The parking lot is big , safe and wel lit . Once you stay at the Courtyards you will be hooked. Thanks Michael and Mary and see You in September!!! Slainte and have a pint for me. Cheers!!!

“Very comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

We enjoyed our last night in Ireland at Bunratty Courtyard. Our daughter noticed that the room was spacious and we were able to walk to Bunratty Village. We appreciated the early morning cold breakfast and hot tea as we know this was before the normal breakfast hours. We would definitely use Bunratty Courtyard again.

“lovley B&B, terrific breakfasts and gracious hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2010

We were stranded in Ireland for 5 days due to the Iceland Volcano. Hosts, Mike and Mary were so kind and gracious. The rooms were the largest we had in Ireland and spotless. It was a relaxing haven for us, despite the chaos resulting from being stranded. The breakfasts were delicious, filling and kepts us going through the day. The inn is very affordable and well worth staying here for the location to the airport and bus stop. Several pubs and restaurants are all within walking distance as is Bunrattty Castle.
