“A Gracious Home in Ireland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2009

My friend and I had a very good experience staying at Fox Wald. Our host and hostess were very gracious--before and during our trip. They helped us to find a driver who was very dependable and willing to take us wherever we wanted to go in Ireland.
Once we were greeted by our host, we were left on our own to explore the area--or were assisted if we had questions. Our hosts helped arrange for us to go to events at Bunratty Folk Park which made our trip more enjoyable.
The facilities were very clean and pleasant. The view from the second level where we had breakfast was extremely beautiful and peaceful as were the grounds of Fox Wald. I will stay there again if I am so fortunate to go to Ireland again soon.

“the warden is IN”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2007

We stayed one night before departing from shannon airport. This is a house that the couple rents rooms out to. The room was small, and there was no parlor or sitting room to use. While the people were friendly, I felt like our every move was monitored. Breakfast was on folding chairs in a sun room. I felt like the minute we left, they were going to close up shop, remove any evidence of us and get on with their lives!

  • Liked — the closeness of the airport
  • Disliked — the cramped room

“What a gross place!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2007

We booked this B & B based on the very favorable reviews it received from Family Homes of Ireland. The interior decoration was tacky, gaudy and cheap. Plus the whole place was very dirty. The bathroom sink had hair and dusty goo all over the top of it and there were webs and spiders in our bedrooms as well as in the bathroom. The bath mat was disgustingly filthy.

A number of disinfectant products and air fresheners were in the bathroom (including something blue in the toilet) the combination of which made our eyes, throat and chest burn. The stench was so strong that we had to keep the bathroom door (which was across the hall from our room) closed in order to sleep.

It was obvious that the owners do not want to spend a cent on the upkeep of this property as everything is shabby and of the flimsiest quality back in the long-ago day when it was new. The towels were thin, stiff and mismatched, ditto the sheets, pillowcases, etc. We were even doubtful that the sheets were clean because they were gritty and yellowed.

There are many fine B & Bs in Ireland. During our trip we stayed in 10 others - each of which was really terrific. Do yourself a big favor and stay away from this place!

  • Liked — proximiy to airport
