As coordinator of a Belgian based walking group I was fortunate to make contact with Christina Byrne of Ardmore House who found accommodation for our 40+ participants in the village of Kinnitty. She also organised a local walk guide, John Scully, who shared with us his intimate knowledge Slieve Bloom mountains, its local history, flora and fauna. Those of us... more

We stayed two nights with Christina in Ardmore House. It was a truly enjoyable experience as we were greeted with tea and fresh homemade scones on arrival. We were then shown to our room, which had a beautiful canopy bed and had the most wonderful views of the Slieve Bloom mountains. On our first evening, we enjoyed a scenic walk... more

The Ardmore House is conveniently located and has ample parking. The house is a proud Victorian with high ceilings and a lovely peat fire. When we arrived, Christina was not there, and we were taken to our room by one of her staff. Shortly thereafter, we were told that we needed to change rooms, because a larger family needed our... more

Our stay with Christina was most enjoyable. The Victorian house set in it's own grounds and beautiful gardens was so well appointed, and right at the edge of the typically delightful Irish Village of Kinnitty.

We stayed at the Ardmore House for our first two nights in Ireland. Perfect, even though my daughter was cold (but she's always cold). Big comfortable rooms, heated sheets, wonderful lounge (peat fire), great breakfasts, and lovely town. We visited Clonmacnoise, Birr, Leap Castle and Kinnitty Castle close by. Christina is quite a fiddle player. Highly recommended. more

We are into Irish Music and as a keen musician herself , she was able to point us to local 'sessions' and festivals. We won't... more
