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.

Rich United States of America

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

Pat Ireland

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

Conor France

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

Seamus Ireland

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).

Randall United States of America

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.

Kimberly United States of America

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.

Brian United States of America

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

Esther United States of America

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.

Donal Ireland

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!

Brian and Dympna

Brian and Dympna and their family operate Ely House in lovely Shannonbridge. Located in lovely riverside village close to great pubs and restaurants, Ely house is within walking distance of all local amenities. There is good music available at pubs during the summer and lovely food available closely. Shannon bridge is the closest village to Clonmacnoise and is an ideal place to rest and relax on you tour. Ely House is Eco friendly

Brian and Dympna have operated their friendly B&B Ely House for over 10 years. Brian is knowledgeable on Clonmacnoise having written " The Story of Clonmacnoise" and will happily assist with your visit to Clonmacnoise and other local points of interest. Dympna makes her famous brown bread for you to enjoy with your breakfast .We love books and have a large selection of books which can be loaned to our guests. Come visit, we'd love to see you. Brian and Dympna O'Carroll

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
