If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in the vast rolling hills and mystical scenery of the Irish countryside, whilst being charmed by your comfortable countryside quarters, look no further. Ashgrove House is perfectly located in the heart of gorgeous countryside, down the road from a period furnished castle and traditional Irish Pub, and is a bus ride from the epic Cliffs of Moher on the Atlantic, and happening Irish cities such as Galway. With comfortable beds, homemade breakfasts, a model view, and two charming Irish hosts sure to draw smiles each morning, for what more could you ask? In your morning tea, and fresh, colorful towels you'll find the typification of kind Irish manner, with all the joys of the quintessential Irish countryside stretched out before you. A stay so sweet, you'll want to come back for seasonal visits!

Perfect for holidaying students abroad (like me)!

I loved this place. My husband and I were treated like royalty. Frank and SHeila are so up beat and fun.They served us Irish coffees on arrival, and gave us brilliant advice on local attractions etc.
The grounds are really well kept and the room was cosy and warm, with a very clean en-suite bathroom.
Breakfast was yummy...lots of fruit,yoghurts,porridge,sausage,bacon,eggs,scones,breads,pancakes!!!

I was so pleased with my one night stay in April 2007 that when I planned my trip in Feb 2008 I asked Sheila if she would put me up for 6 nights. My sister and niece joined me. Each morning she took our breakfast order (mmmmmm) and even packed scones when we had to leave at 4 am for a London flight. Our rooms were very clean, warm and cozy with our own entrance. Frank gave us great directions and names of good pubs serving wonderful food. I love to hear the two of them singing as they go about their way. I don't feel as if I am at a hotel or even a guest in the house. I feel like one of the family as they will sit down and chat about everything and anything---always interesting and sharing. No matter how late we came in Frank or Sheila was up to greet us. They asked about our day, our plans for the next day to offer advice or just to see if we wanted that great tasting Irish coffee they make so well. I couldn't tell you if our "towels matched" as that is so trivial I didn't notice. Our towels were nice, clean and dried me off. Sheila. Frank. I will visit again and again and again. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. Jan McCarthy

Upon stepping into this B&B, I was immediately struck by three things: the terribly musty smell, how cold it was in the house, and the open laundry room filled with unfolded towels and such. Things didn't get better when we got to our room -- it was much too small for 3 people, the towels were mismatched, and there were 2 clumps of hair in the bathroom (one under the sink and one in the shower). Also, our rollaway was not made up and didn't include a top sheet. Breakfast was not made to order and wasn't very warm. We've stayed at many B&Bs throughout Europe, and so far this was least of any of them; it was more on par with staying at someone's grandma's house. While Sheila was knowledgeable and friendly, I would hesitate to recommend Ashgrove House.
