Brook Manor Lodge

Sandra was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We really lucked out staying here. An absolutely beautiful place in a beautiful area. It was so nice to be able to explore the area and know that we had a nice place to relax at the end of a long day. We didn’t have to search for parking because there’s plenty of parking on the premises. Thank you Sandra from the folks from Utah!

The beauty, comfort, and quietness of our room were incredible. Everything in the room, from the coffee machine and biscuits to the automatic trouser iron and the comfort of the bathroom, was perfect. But the breakfast was the crowning glory. The hot menu, the cheese plate, the freshly squeezed orange and apple juices, even the orchids in the winter garden and the fragrant carnations on our table were a dream. The lady who welcomed us and provided the service was wonderful and cheerful.

When traveling to Ireland, there is no shortage of quaint BnBs to offer you a warm bed and a hot breakfast. That said, Brook Manor Lodge takes it to the next level. After traveling for the better part of 24 hours between driving, flying, flying again, and then backtracking from Dublin all the way back over the lovely country we had flown over before, we arrived a couple of hours early for. Upon calling out wonderful hostess, she graciously rushed right over to let us in so that we could rest our weary bones and grab a much needed shower. She was incredibly gracious and kind and was the embodiment of Irish hospitality. Kind and doting, she made sure we had everything we needed including directions to a wonderful place for dinner. In the morning, we strolled down for breakfast the agreed upon 8:30 (we were the only gusts staying before she closes down for the winter months), and we were greeted with the absolutely astounding spread placed before us. We stepped into the breakfast room and were immediately greeted with soft Irish music and a variety of fruits, breads, and jams as well as all manner of juice and yogurt. Once we sat down, we looked at the restaurant style menu and were bowled over with the choices. For those wondering, yes the Traditional Irish Breakfast was on there 😉 We have stayed at other Irish BnBs before, but this is only one I will be more than happy to plan my next trip around. Top notch service and delicious food. I cannot recommend it enough.
