Crystal Springs B&B

Our only regret was that we only stayed one night! We’re travelling Ireland for 2 weeks, and this was by far the comfiest bed we slept in!!! The breakfast served was beautiful and delicious. The breakfast room overlooks a stream. A few houses down is a bike rental place where we were able to rent bikes (very affordable!) to bike around Ross Castle and Muckross house. It’s a 3-5 min ride into town, and 10 mins to the castle. We didn’t get to ride to Muckross house because of the weather but we HIGHLY suggest that you grab bikes at Big Little Bike Co. to do this. That grounds at Muckross house are unreal, and riding was definitely what we should have done as it is a long walk otherwise. If you’re not a cyclist, pop into town, or to either the castle or house where you can hire the popular mode of transportation - horse and carriage.

Outstanding accommodations and exceptionally good service! Highly recommended!!!

I usually stay at a city centered hotel. But I figured that Ireland would be best bet for taking a chance on a B & B. This one really added to the flavor of the country and hence the trip itself. All the rooms are immaculate and dotted with Charming Irish decor. Irish folk ballads play in the background. You even can sit in the backyard listening to the rolling of the Flesk river and watching some locals fish in their wellies. It is like an Irish postcard. True, it is a mile, 20 minute walk to town, but the quiet you get by being out a bit results in a quiet restful sleep at night. Plentiful on the pillows, shower water was hot, heated towel rack. Breakfast menu had variety. Just thinking about it makes me want to return to Ireland.

Eileen, the host, is an excellent cook and makes one of the best breakfasts we had in Ireland. A couple of issues we had was the neighborhood has a problem with wasps, including getting into the property. Fortunately they were dying off during our stay so not bothersome. A more minor issue is the wi-fi was occasionally unreliable but worked most of the time. We enjoyed our stay but unsure how we would feel if the wasps were in an active state.

Amazing 2 days stay in the lovely B&B. Very good location. Nice and quiet. The owner and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast. Definitely go back again the next time.
