Eileen is the most amazing hostess ever! She was incredibly flexible with our timing for both food and travelling. Breakfast was phenomenal every morning! Fill Irish breakfasts, French toast, endless loaves of bread, homemade chutney and jams, etc.
She might as well have been a full time concierge as she helped us figure out every bit ignite two days there and in the surrounding towns.

You simply must stay here with Eileen. The rooms were warm and cozy and always clean for when we got back. You will be wiser, fuller and more Irish than you've ever felt before if you stay here. When you go Ireland, go The Orchard!

We started our visit to Ireland at Eileen's B&B. She was a most welcoming hostess. She went above & beyond to make our stay the most enjoyable. We sure miss her homemade guinness cake. When we return to Ireland we will be looking forward to staying at the Orcard and seeing Eileen again. We highly recommend staying there if you want good Irish hospitality.

Booked a room at The Orchard for a couple of nights as a base for exploring Western Ireland. Upon arrival I was presented with homemade cake, scones and jam (and tea). A great way to start my stay.

After a good nights sleep, I was served duck-eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast, besides the cereal and homemade bread (and toast) that was also served. Breakfast at The Orchard is both delicious and plentiful.

The room was nice and clean, as was the bathroom. Besides the key for the room, I was given a key to the front door, so I could come and go as I pleased. You can reach downtown Newcastle West by foot in about 15 minutes.

At all times, Mrs. Murphy was very helpful and suggestive with ideas for trips in and around county Limerick (I can recommend a trip to Dingle peninsula). Also at all times, there was cake and bread and tea/coffee available in the dining room.

I had a very nice stay and would definitely recommend this B&B to others.

Eileen was a most welcoming hostess and helped to make our visit to Ireland a great success. One of the best features, besides the lovely Georgian farmhouse, was the choice of breakfast. After deciding on a smoked salmon omelette, we were asked if we'd like hen eggs or duck eggs. Having never been offered duck eggs we chose them and the resulting breakfast was extraordinary. Many thanks Eileen.
