to get started.

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.

The 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.

Nancy and Terry were by far the best host and hostess we had in Ireland. Nancy had fresh tea and scones when we arrived - we were lost and she even met us and escorted us to The Rectory! They both went out of their way to make us feel at home - they were our first hosts on our trip and definitely set the standard for food, lodging and hospitality for our entire trip! Great place, wonderful people and we were made to feel totally at home. Thank you Nancy and Terry!

Our 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!

Apart 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.

We arrived at The Rectory after a long day driving. We received a warm welcome and a cup of tea like we were coming home. Nancy and Terry are wonderful hosts. The Rectory is decorated elegantly with homely touches. The location was peaceful. The room had a lovely garden and church outlook. Our delicious Breakfast was served in a lovely dining room looking out onto the garden. We would have loved to have stayed longer and we WILL return. This was Irish Hospitality at its best!

This is a gem of a place! Full of character and charm and set in idillic surroundings in the Co Offaly Countryside. What makes this place so special is the welcome and the hospitality you receive from the owners, Nancy and Terry. They are so passionate about this place and especially the people who stay. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra night.

It was perfect.
We were greeted by Nancy and her friendly dogs with tea and homemade, delicious scones. Nancy is an excellent cook - the breakfast was wonderful and did not leave anything to be desired. She was always up to a nice chat and giving directions to the best sights and places in the area. The house and the antique, hand-picked interior is gorgeous, you can feel Nancy's and Terry's flawless taste and their love for this historic building in every single corner. The house is located in a very quiet area in the countryside but Shannonbridge, Birr and Clonmacnoise are in max 20min driving distance. We'd come back anytime.
