We stayed with family and friends for our daughter’s wedding.
The staff was incredibly accommodating, kind and welcoming, even with the guests arriving very late at night.
The bride to be and her bridesmaids were very nicely looked after… and every request was dealt with attention.
Lovely country style feel, nice breakfast, everything was perfect  ……..
Thanks so much laddies for looking after all guest so kindly

Family and friends Pre-wedding stay

I booked this place on Hotels.Com, it seems in error I only inputted one guest instead of two, however during the booking the room clearly said sleeps 2. When we arrived we were told that there is an issue with the booking because it was only for one person, the receptionist however took the amount that I had booked the property at €144 for two nights. Sometime later I received an email saying that I owed another €80, considering that they couldn’t tell me if there was anyone available to cook breakfast, (which I suppose I didn’t mind), the room had no TV, the WiFi hardly worked, the settee was badly stained and dirty, the nearest restaurant was 10 minutes drive away. To cap it off my wife had a cold shower in the morning. When we complained about the water after my wife’s cold shower, we were told everyone else had hot water, and mysteriously the water then got hot. I decided that I didn’t think the property was worth another €80,  so we had no choice but to book out a day early to avoid the charge. I believe that the property handled this situation very badly and I would not recommend anyone to stay here.

A nightmare two day stay that became only one

Terribly disgusting, the place needs a good clean. Our room was full of mold and damp. Not a good place to stay with a child. I didn't feel safe breathing the air if I'm being honest. 

Rude owner, not a good atmosphere at all. When I asked about changing rooms she said they were fully booked, even though the place was dead. No one around, no cars etc. Incredibly standoffish person who would treat the dirt on her shoe better than she treats guests. Very difficult to deal with and I wouldn't want to stay with her again. 


Yikes 

Today my family and I had the pleasure of enjoying an absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch in the Barnabrow Restaurant. My daughter and her partner received an invitation to sample a lunch in preparation for their wedding in December. Food and service was superb, the restaurant was lovely and warm. After our meal, Gretta was on hand  to meet with them to discuss their plans for the wedding. We are so looking forward to returning after Christmas for a weekend of celebration. 

Wonderful Sunday Lunch

10/10 experience in Barnabrow this weekend for my sisters hen weekend! The bedrooms were out of this world. So comfortable and elegant! Our 3 course dinner with wine was amazing. Thank you to the chefs, Cinty, Layla, Maeve and the bartender (I forgot name sorry!) for going above and beyond for us. Thank you! 

Amazing experience for Hen Party weekend 

The situation: far enough away from everything and very little restoration around... The bedroom: room (moisture cleaning at the first touch of cloth, dust everywhere, moisture in the shower and spiders everywhere), no ventilation (moisture filling the windows in the morning, feeling the moisture and moisture work on the ceilings), the equipment is of very poor quality... except for the excellent breakfast everything else was very bad

Except for the excellent breakfast everything else was very bad.

Half an hour from Cork, in the Irish countryside, this delicious cottage welcomes tourists who are in no hurry. The rooms are elegant and clean, on our doorstep a nest of small swallows. Breakfast (15€) offers an entrance buffet and then a choice of several dishes, including the complete Irish Breakfast.

Delightful Country House

So disappointing!
I was looking forward to visiting Barnabrow Country House with a group of friends for a special Birthday Afternoon Tea Celebration. 
The experience was not satisfactory and we were taken aback by the presence of green plastic table covers and plain white crockery. 
Online advertising said – “Sip tea from a china cup while sampling their seasonal menu”
The lovely images of Afternoon Tea on their Website did not at all resemble the food that was served to us.
Furthermore, we were served tea in a Teapot with a broken handle and water in a Jug with a broken spout.
We addressed our issues with the Manager on the day and she said that she would talk with the owners and get back to me, which she didn't do until I followed up with a feedback email. The response from management was not satisfactory.
Needless to say none of us will be returning.

Afternoon Tea at Barnabrow - Very Disappointed!

We stayed at Barnabrow Country House as a B&B and it was a great experience! Quaint and very nicely situated in the countryside outside Cork. Beautiful surroundings with goats and donkeys. Breakfast was served in the larger main building and it was delicious.

Great stay in a beautiful setting! 

booked a guest house but arrive to find several  cottage type houses on the grounds. each converted into several rooms. shown to our room which was small, dated and our bedroom door is the front door which leads out and onto the main entrance driveway. which proved to be a bit noisy, especially in the mornings with deliveries and people walking by not being considerate that people are sleeping just inside. no TV in the room or any room. free WiFi but bad signal in a lot of areas on the grounds. we arrived on a Friday and were staying till Sunday and no restaurant available at all , only on Sundays. no bar available  at all only on Sundays. which was a bit of a let down as after a day's sight seeing in the area it would be nice to go back to your accommodation and have food and a drink and relax. the house isn't in a town so walking to a bar or restaurant isn't an option. we tried for 25 mins to get a taxi for our party of 6 to go to the nearby town of Cloyne for a drink. we had to eventually get a taxi from Middleton,  11km away to come pick us up to take us 2km as the local taxi man was "away". €40 return it cost to go to cloyne in a taxi and back. an unnecessary trip had the bar on site been available to all residents. breakfast is a separate charge to the room fee. and its a walk down the avenue to a separate house, which would prove inconviennient should the weather be bad. breakfast room is bright and dated .staff are polite but not very warm. toast, fruit, yogurt, juice and cerals on offer in the buffet and hot  breakfast to order. fried eggs where snotty and the bacon was floppy and neither too warm. €15 per person for breakfast and kids charged the same. so our party of 6 was €90 for breakfast alone so opted out of that for the second day as it wasn't worth the price.  all in all was disappointed with the venue and if we had read reviews before hand we wouldn't have gone at all. setting is lovely but it needs updating and modernising to justify the price.
