    I only had the issue of the bathroom outside the room, felt a little vulnerable, but it was really fine, just something unique to Keeles,

    It was lovely staying at Keeles for the night. Before arriving I confirmed my arrival time, and the room was ready, communication for access, etc. across text messages was easy, and clear, and staff appeared very friendly. I was informed of free parking close by, and in the end I got outside the door on the street. so it was free and easy anyway. It was perfect for being placed in the middle of Birr, for what I needed. Its Private and hidden treasure in the town, with access to pubs, resturants, cafes, bus services, local shops and any business in town. My friends I was visiting with in town didn't know it was there, and were amazed of how I found it. Now they know, and will recommend it for other future occasions they may have. And I know I will make a return visit again, I've given a great review verbaly to them all. They seemed happily impressed, It was quiet, quaint and comfortable, I had a room on an upper floor and it was overlooking the back alley, and street behind it was quiet. There was a sink in room with towels provided, plenty of space to store my few belonging, with hangers and drawers. Coffee facilities in the room was plenty, and had a latte which was tasty. It was just enough, with a nice gift voucher for a local cafe was a lovely touch as they don't do a breakfast service, which I don't mind, as I don't always have breakfast. I used it for 11's and enjoyed it before my drive home. I got a lovely peaceful break away, with celebrations had for a birthday lady, nice trip round the pub scene, and a great sleep. An all round win! I would call it an online Air B&B, with little leprechauns helping with the magic touch. Go raibh míle maith agat.

    It was a shared bathroom and the mats in the bathroom were dirty. The room we were in overlooked the street and it was quite noisy until late.

    It was a little cheaper than some of the other options around. The bedroom was very clean. Parking just outside the door. Clear communication and easy instructions to get access to the facilities.

    Attention to cleaning could improve. Although I was given fresh towels and linen halfway during my week's stay, after a few days of seeing a variety of guests come and go and sharing the amenities, I requested the bathroom to be cleaned (as there was evidence it hadn't been for a couple of days) and hand towels and tea-towels to be replaced, soap dispenser to be refilled, but once mentioned it was attended to immediately. My bedroom was very clean and comfortable.

    Location was excellent. Only a short walk from the bus stop and when you stepped out the front door you were in the Main Street, so easy access to supermarket, pubs, cafes and town attractions. Self serve breakfast was re-stocked regularly. Breakfast included cereals and yogurt, bread, cheeses and cold cuts and a selection of condiments, as well as tea and coffee. Small fridge available to store your own food if need be. Toaster, kettle and microwave oven provided. Access to the kitchen all day which was good. I stayed a week so it was good to be able to prepare my own meals. This place was more like an AirBnB than a traditional B&B as the host lived elsewhere but just a phone call away, and I did meet him a couple of times. Unlike hosted B&Bs there was an expectation to wash up and put away dishes after breakfast. At times I had the place to myself, other times there were other guests in the two other bedrooms sharing the amenities. There was one shared bathroom and also an extra shared toilet. There was a dining area off the kitchen with a couch. No TV.

    I think my room was to the front and needs extra glazing or soundproofing as noice from street on sat night very disturbing! it would be a good idea to request other guests coming in late to consider other guest who be sleeping

    Room was lovely and airy with lovely little window seat! Nice to have basin in room and access to bathrooms nearby! Breakfast room clean and functional. Adequately stocked.
