Orchard Grove Bed & Breakfast R21RC58

Mairead and Tony were perfectly charming hosts during our stay at Orchard Grove B&B. After unpacking, Mairead suggested that we try The Lord Bagenal in Leighlinbridge, 2.5 miles away, for dinner. It’s a lovely inn on the banks of the River Barrow in county Carlow, which serves a carvery lunch or a la carte menu depending on the time of day. After a very peaceful night (we were the only guests) we were treated to a delicious breakfast of yogurt, fruit, cheeses, fresh breads and scones, and our choice of several fresh-from-their-chickens egg based dishes. I chose scrambled eggs with smoked salmon both mornings because it was so tasty! We planned to visit Kilkenny, Rock of Cashel, and Waterford the day after our arrival, and Mairead suggested that we also stop in the seaside town of Dunmore East. It was an excellent idea, where we found a wonderful restaurant called The Strand Inn, which served delicious fish. During our second night, all rooms at the Orchard Grove B&B were full, but we never heard a sound from anyone, until we met our fellow travelers at breakfast on our final morning and participated in interesting conversations. Our room, as well as the rest of the B&B, was tastefully decorated, and we felt very comfortable during our stay.

We struck gold when we found you. Excellent and wonderful hospitality. We have recommended you to all our friends & family. We plan to be back soon again. Míle buíochas- Malachy & Margie Naughton (Galway)

Wow! We could not have been happier with our stay! Mariead and Tony are fabulous hosts. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. One of the best B&B experiences we’ve had in all our years of travelling. We have no hesitation in recommending this place.

Lovely B&B out of town in a quiet location. Nice room with comfortable beds and good quality bedding and towels. Breakfast was wonderful with a really good choice including fresh fruit, juice, meats, cheese and cereals followed by a huge Irish cooked breakfast accompanied by a basket of mixed toast, soda bread and scones. We didn’t need to eat again till dinner thot night. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and suggested a canal side walk we’d never have found ourselves and a local hotel for our evening meal.
