Shannon Breeze Cottage, hotel in Birr

Shannon Breeze Cottage is located in Ballycrossaun, 21 mi from Athlone. Tullamore is 30 mi away. Free private parking is available on site. All units have a seating area.

Had a really lovely time staying in this little gem. It was a home from home. Only a short drive from several counties including Galway, Clare, Offaly and Tipperary. Service on the phone isn't great and no wifi as stated but that didn't bother us. Just get out and enjoy yourself, plenty of places to go and things to do. We went everywhere. Lena is such a lovely host and very informative of things to do around the area and also some local history. Really lovely lady. Thanks for everything Lena especially the lovely eggs you gave us. Hope you enjoyed the onions. Take care Sarahjane, Paul, Dylan and Emily

Keeraun Hill, hotel in Birr

Keeraun Hill enjoys a location in Banagher, 14 miles from Cross of the Scriptures and 20 miles from Dun na Si Heritage & Genealogical Centre.

Keeraun Hill is a pristine, convenient and comfortable house. Every aspect of the property pleased. The owners absolutely went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome. Geraldine even gave us rides into town although it’s only a short walk. Breakfast was delicious (full Irish for me) with excellent coffee. Special mention for Rosie, a most delightful, unobtrusive and loving miniature Jack Russell.

    Birr is a lovely town - we visited family and friends and spent some time exploring the town. We visited Birr Castle and gardens, which are spectacular. We were however disappointed that we could not visit the castle itself as it is a private residence. The town is very tidy and people are friendly.

    We visited the castle grounds which were excellent and much better than we expected. Town centre has everything and reasonable cafes. Lots of pubs but then it was Ireland! Restaurants a little harder to find. Walks and good quiet cycling on your doorstep or a short drive.

    Visit the castle. You could around the grounds for hours. Lovely science museum in the castle. Lots of shops. Park and walk around it’s busy for driving. Pay your parking ticket wardens around all the time. Didn’t have time to investigate it further. We had all our food a Dooley’s it was fabulous.

    Birr is a beautiful town. It's steeped in history. The period houses all around are stunning. Castle tour is highly recommended. Lot's to see and do there. Nolan's pub was very welcoming and a great pint to be had. Kelly's bar is great for food and old fashioned Irish atmosphere and pint of Guinness.

    Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit.

    Birr Castle was an enjoyable venue for a day visit. We had dinner in a local bar/restaurant where the food was good and the staff were friendly. Birr is quite a small town and it can be visited over a two day period. It is also relatively close to the Slieve Blooms which is a good base for walking.

    Birr is a nice small town with a lovely small park and river walk and a fabulous castle and grounds. Kinnity castle is a short drive away and the Slieve Bloom walking trails are worth a visit if you like hiking .

    Our stay at Townsend House was wonderful! The room was beautiful- we stayed in the family suite which was spacious and very comfortable. The location was just perfect for exploring the small village of Birr- walking distance to the castle and town center. The staff were welcoming and the breakfast was delicious (and huge!). We were so happy with this stay and would definitely recommend it.

    A real homely atmosphere, we were offered tea/coffee and some cakes as soon as we arrived. Maureen is really friendly and genuine, and you feel like you already know her. Fantastic breakfast with lots of options. Powerful shower with plenty of clean towels. It’s a great location particularly if you’re visiting the castle. We would highly recommend a stay at Emmet House.

    Carmen is a wonderful hostess. She is kind and eager to share recommendations to travelers to experience her corner of the world, and she definitely elevated our stay in Birr. We learned about Hurling, the wonderful restaurant at which we at dinner, and an historic site on our way to our next stop. She is amazing.

    This felt more like a boutique hotel than a B&B. The room was quaint and comfortable, the shared spaces on the ground floor were charming and the breakfast was delicious. The location is great - just opposite the castle and convenient if attending a wedding at a local hotel.

    Spinners of Castle Street, Birr, is excellent. The breakfast was unbelieveable, great variety and freshly cooked. The room was so clean and comfortable. I will definitely book to stay there again if I'm ever in that part of the country. Well done, Spinners. Top marks.

    Location in town and the staff are second to none. The town is underrated as a destination as there are many golf courses nearby and a visit to the castle is a must when in town,
