Tudor Lodge B&B

This B&B was so reasonable that we decided to get two rooms to spread out after our long flight. So much charm! My room had a lovely skylight and gorgeous bathroom. The breakfast area was all windows overlooking a beautiful garden, with a stream in back. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in Ireland

Very enjoyable stay and the staff were very helpful in recommending things to do in the area. We shared a family room which was more than spacious for 3 adults and a child and there was a restaurant about 5 minutes walk from the property. Highly recommend

This place was very spartan despite the price tag. Old pillows. No comfortable place to sit, no common space available. You can hear everything your upstairs neighbors do and say. Don't let the cute photos trick you.

My friend and I booked a single room each. It's not common that B&Bs have single rooms, so finding Tudor Lodge was very good for us. Rooms were comfortable and the en suite bathrooms were very clean, shower was powerful and hot. The property has a lovely garden that overlooks a stream. Christopher was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended!

The owner/manager seems to lack some ethics. He lied to us about availability, and when confronted with the lie continued to deceive until he finally just said, "That's our policy". We were on the last two nights of a two week stay in Ireland. Our party had two couples and had to book a double and a more expensive triple at the lodge because of availability. We emailed the owner and requested that if something that would better suit our party of four became available to let us know. The Lodge also had a cabin that had two bedrooms and would have been perfect. We found the cabin was available when we went to check on potential cancelations the day before our stay. We decided to inquire when we got to the lodge. When we asked the owner upon our arrival he said that nothing was available. I even asked if the cabins were possible and he said no they were all booked. We checked in and once in our rooms I checked the lodge website again and it claimed the cabin was available for the next two nights. When I went to ask about the discrepancy the owner would not answer the office door or phone. However, when I went outside and rang the bell to the lodge (where newly arriving guests would enter) he suddenly appeared. I pointed out our confusion and he said he only had the cabin for one night not the two we needed. I again directed him to the online booking information. He said he had to check again and that someone else handled booking. When he came back he said he was mistaken and that the cabin was available, but we'd already checked in. We said we had only put our bags down and would be able to make the move. He related that we'd already agreed to the previous booking, but that he could rent the cabin to one of the couples, which would have increased the price of our overall stay. Not thinking he understood I explained that we hoped to reduce the overall cost and that the four of us could do that by staying in the cabin. He said he could not honor that request as we needed to give him prior notice. When I explained that we had emailed this request months ago he said there was nothing he could do. To be fair, the lodge is quaint and has a lot going for it, but host/guest relationship relies on trust. The guests are putting their safety and the safety of their possessions in the hands of the host. When the host repeatedly lies and lies to cover up lies it corrupts that trust. After this incident we went back and looked at some of the one star reviews of this lodge, and we encourage you to do the same.

The building is beautiful and our room was very nice. The room was also very clean. The grounds are gorgeous as well. Breakfast was pleasant. This would be a nice location if there were several couples traveling together. There was a ton of parking as well.

Warning! If you’re English, or anyone else with an ounce of logic, make sure you stay away from this place! Firstly, it’s taken me days to get anyone to even answer the phone here at the Bates Motel! Then, you’ll never believe what happened when one of them actually did! This pair of absolute jokers are literally Abbott & Costello reincarnated! It’s clear to me that they most certainly don’t like English people by the way one of them spoke to me on the phone, as soon as he heard my English accent, the phone was put down, now what do you make of that? I really thought those days were gone in this country! Then, I rang back seconds later and guess what, no answer! Surprise Surprise! Ok, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, they may of been checking someone you might be thinking, but if that were so, they’d surely of rang me back! I mean wouldn’t they, after all my money is as good as anyone else’s surely? Finally, If I were you, I’d choose somewhere else, that’s what I did! Maybe try the Glendalough Hotel, as I’ve booked in there myself instead. The guy I spoke to was a guy called Christopher, but judging by his unprofessionalism, I can’t imagine his brother Jonathan being any better! I hope my personal experience with this pair helps you choose the right place to stay! Kindest, DW.
