Amazing staff! Delicious breakfast made to order. Quaint yet spacious. Perfect location for some things to do but also to Shannon Airport. Stayed with my daughter for a week throughout various parts of Ireland and this was our favorite stay! I lost my jacket and my daughter emailed to see if I left it there, Joe responded to her right away! Thanks for everything!

We loved our stay at The Courtyard. It was a rejuvenating stay for us - light and airy, beautiful artwork. Very clean and comfortable. The sitting room was a beautiful room with a high trussed ceiling and a large fireplace (no fire). We enjoyed one of the best nights of our vacation there. Last but not least, the breakfast was made to order and delicious!

Super close to bus stop, and just a few more to Durty Nelly’s and Bunratty Castle. Our host, Joe, was fabulous. We arrived before noon and he was there to greet us and hold our luggage. When we returned later that afternoon, our luggage had been moved to our room. Breakfast the next morning was great- full Irish breakfast, but also cereal, yogurt, and a variety of fruit and little muffins were available. Joe also gave us some great recommendations for our next stop, Limerick.

Loved this place! Proprietor could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. Music was playing while we ate which was a nice touch. Within walking distance of Bunratty Village which was so convenient. Room was clean and comfortable and decor was very nice. The lounge was comfy. Overall a great experience! Close to Shannon airport too so travel is easy.

A great stay!

Cute and comfortable place, nicely appointed, and convenient parking. Welcoming and friendly host, and tasty breakfast - great all around. There are several restaurants with live music a quick walk up the road, and laundry machines at the gas station nearby. Close to Bunratty castle if your visiting there, and not far from Limerick (our main destination - Clare Glen is a lovely walk!)
