Bed and Breakfast Ely House B&B
Cloghan Road, Shannonbridge, Co Offaly, Shannonbridge, Ireland – Great location - show map
Brian was a friendly host who made us a great breakfast, and we had fun playing fetch with the dog. The town is a short walk with a lovely horse pasture on the way.

Lovely B&B. Good size rooms and very clean. Hosts were very nice.

Well, everything was great -- friendly hosts, good rooms, good value

Lovely people,,,clean and comfortable place to stay....

A very comfortable B&B with a large family room that accommodated us very nicely. Being in the village of Shannonbridge it is an easy drive to the very historical site of Clonmacnoise, founded by St. Ciaran (Kieran).

The house is very bright and airy and clean. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options. Brian (our host ) was very friendly, and finally a few great puns are within. A five minute walk.

Our airline lost our luggage. We needed to stay an extra day to ensure that we would get the pieces. Staff was amazing at accommodating us. Then we locked our keys in the car and struggled to use our phone to contact AA. Staff used their personal mobile phone to call and make accommodations. So amazing. They were absolutely amazing and great hosts. Can't say enough. Food was great too. Rooms were awesome.

Very clean and friendly hosts. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for breakfast as we needed to be off early

The house was a fantastic property, very clean, very comfortable and a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The owner was fantastic and very helpful and had no problem with an early breakfast as my wife was competing in a marathon that day and also had no issue with a late arrival (Due to travel after work). Overall, a very very enjoyable stay. I would recommend Ely House to anyone.

Great location, within walking distance to Killeens and Lukers Bar (must see the “old pub”). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Rooms were cozy and breakfast was delicious! Would highly recommend staying here!

Shannonbridge is a lovely riverside village on the banks of the river Shannon. There are two marinas where each night many visitors on cruisers dock to taste the famous Shannonbridge nightlife. Killeens Pub and Lukers Pub are traditional Irish Pubs and are well worth a visit. The Old Fort restaurant is also within walking distance. The wonderful 1500 year old monastery of Clonmacnoise is nearby. Lough Boora Parklands and Birr Castle are just a short drive away
