The room was lovely and comfortable. Their restaurant "Tapas" was incredible. I have eaten in some of the best restaurants all over the world. The food at Tapas is some of the best I've ever had and the desserts were 5 star!

Birr is a lovely town - we visited family and friends and spent some time exploring the town. We visited Birr Castle and gardens, which are spectacular. We were however disappointed that we could not visit the castle itself as it is a private residence. The town is very tidy and people are friendly.

We visited the castle grounds which were excellent and much better than we expected.
Town centre has everything and reasonable cafes. Lots of pubs but then it was Ireland! Restaurants a little harder to find.
Walks and good quiet cycling on your doorstep or a short drive.

Visit the castle. You could around the grounds for hours. Lovely science museum in the castle. Lots of shops. Park and walk around it’s busy for driving. Pay your parking ticket wardens around all the time. Didn’t have time to investigate it further. We had all our food a Dooley’s it was fabulous.

Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history. The period houses all around are stunning. Castle tour is highly recommended. Lot's to see and do there. Nolan's pub was very welcoming and a great pint to be had. Kelly's bar is great for food and old fashioned Irish atmosphere and pint of Guinness.

Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit.
Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit. We had dinner in a local bar/restaurant where the food was good and the staff were friendly. Birr is quite a small town and it can be visited over a two day period. It is also relatively close to the Slieve Blooms which is a good base for walking.

Birr is a nice small town with a lovely small park and river walk and a fabulous castle and grounds. Kinnity castle is a short drive away and the Slieve Bloom walking trails are worth a visit if you like hiking .
The whole experience of staying right in the heart of Birr the BnB is so well run spotless clean.... Nicer than some Hotels we have stayed in.... We were given free parking right outside our room, the local people are so welcoming and friendly we would highly recommend staying in Emmet house you won't be disappointed we had a lovely breakfast every morning and our host baked a lovely cake for her guests to help themselves to during their stay.
Carmel is a most excellent host. She has thought of everything to make her guests feel welcome and comfortable. This is a true find. Surrounded by the rolling open countryside and only a short distance from the beautiful historic town of Birr, The Ring Farmhouse represents exceptional value for money. Everything speaks of quality - décor, bed linens, breakfast ingredients - everything.
We were given a very quiet room at the end of a long corridor which I always really appreciate. It was spotless clean and the beds were comfy, we had a nice restful sleep. Furniture etc is quite outdated but I understand they're in the process of renovating the rooms. Overall, it's a really nice countryside hotel
The location is wonderful as you can walk around the corner to the castle and for food. The Main Street is walkable too. Our room was clean, beautiful and quiet. We loved the high quality teas and toiletries. Breakfast in the amazing dining room was a treat with excellent service and lot of choices.
Fantastic guesthouse located right beside Birr Castle within walking distance of the main street. Fabulous throughout, room very clean and comfortable and really well appointed. Breakfast was excellent. Great attention to detail throughout our stay. Excellent value.
Brona was a wonderful host, and we had a very restful stay. The location is a short drive to Birr Castle and downtown, and Brona gave great lunch/dinner recommendations. Facilities were very clean, and the bed was so comfortable.
The room was spectacular!
Big and comfy, exactly as in the pictures and description.
We got a warm welcome, and had a tasty breakfast.
For those who tour around Birr - it is an excellent choice!
We will sure get back again.
I had three different breakfasts from the menu and they were all excellent. The location was superb since I was visiting Birr Castle.
The staff were enthusiastic about their work, friendly and very helpful.
Amazing stay at what I can only call a gem in Birr Town. Everything is just a walk away and the house is beautiful with everything needed. Host was also amazing 😊Will definitely return 😊
The room was very comfortable with an en suite bathroom and plenty of room. The accommodation was in a great location for the wedding that we attended and for easy access into Birr.
Location in town and the staff are second to none. The town is underrated as a destination as there are many golf courses nearby and a visit to the castle is a must when in town,
Location waa very good, right beside the castle. Breakfast was very good and style of place was amazing...better than some hotels . Very clean and modern.
