This is beautiful country home surrounded by spacious grounds outside of Blarney. My husband and I stayed with teenage son and the room was very large. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast buffet had fresh fruit and nice variety of cereals. Douglas and Olwen were very warm and welcoming to us. more

Finally, I booked far enough ahead at Maranatha so we could stay! It was a lovely and welcoming experience. Our only disappointment was that we had not booked for a longer stay!!!!!!! Olwen is a gracious hostess who immediately makes you feel that you are so welcomed to her home. The home and grounds are lovely. Returning home to New... more

The Bed and Breakfast was simply wonderful. The hostess was friendly. Great breakfast. Rooms are large. We booked a twin room and it had 2 double beds. Usually you get 2 twin beds. more

The hostess was so typically friendly, as I found most Irish people to be, and my welfare seemed to be her top... more

It is well located, outside of the town of Blarney and close to Cork and Kinsale with their fine restaurants. The house itself is a large house that has been in Olwen's family for many years. The grounds are extensive and... more

Fantastic! You never know what to expect when renting rooms but this place was unbelievable! We loved it! Every room has a different theme and was decorated beautifully. Olwen was a wonderful host. Her breakfast included croissants to die for and scones with fruit and whipped cream, not to mention the hot entrees as well. I would definitely stay here... more

I don't think any fault can be found with our stay at this fabulous place. We went for our honeymoon (with four other women in tow), and were overwhelmed with the majesty of the ground floor suite with its four-poster bed and jacuzzi tub. The sheer size of the room made us want to kick off our shoes and stay... more
