I stayed 4 days with Nancy and Terry while exploring the area and visiting some friends. What an amazing stay. The rooms are spotless, the beds comfortable and the rest of the property is immaculate! I was made to feel part of the family from the time I arrived. A full Irish breakfast in the mornings was the perfect start for a day of exploring and Nancy spoilt with plenty of extras, like freshly baked scones and tea on arrival. The property has beautiful gardens and sits next to an old church. It is a short drive to the closest Village and only 30min drive to the larger town of Athlone. There are loads of great walks as well as a good few golf courses in the area. I will most definitely be back and can highly recommend a stay here.
South AfricaThe food was wonderful and very hot. The accommodations exceeded what I expected. Loved our hostess. She was wonderful
CanadaAmazing. Will definitely stay there again. The couple that run this beautiful B and B are amazing.
United States of AmericaThe rectory is owned by a lovely couple who went out of their way to welcome us upon our late arrival. Scones and tea were served within a few minutes after check-in!! We fell into bed well fed and very happy. It’s a beautiful home filled with antiques and memories. Our room over-looked the ruins of an old church and graveyard-very picturesque. Very comfortable bed and delicious breakfast. Our hosts were very attentive and made us feel right at home! Perfect location for visiting Clonfert Cathedral and Clonmacnoise.
United States of AmericaQuality of the accommodation, peaceful setting, great breakfast and the most affable host we have ever experienced in our travels.
AustraliaOur stay at The Rectory was a highlight of our trip, and Nancy and Terry were real treasures to talk with. The whole house is just lovely, and our room was spacious and comfortable. We received such a warm welcome, and Nancy treated us just about like family. Breakfast - and the scones - were delicious. We wish we could have stayed longer!
United States of AmericaThe facilities were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellant !!!
IrelandAn excellent B&B. Loved every minute there. Great place, lovely hosts, delicious breakfasts.
AustraliaApart from the impeccably presented property and all the extra lovely touches of luxury dressing-gowns, beautiful bed linen and being greeted with afternoon tea on our arrival, the stand out was definitely the Proprietor herself who was totally charming and genuinely warm and welcoming and made you feel you had arrived home and at the same time did not intrude on your privacy. Highly recommend this B&B should you find yourself in this neck of the woods.
AustraliaOur wonderful hostess Nancy could not do enough for us ! Ten out of ten !!
