We always stay at The Courtyard B&B when we visit Bunratty. Charming en-suite rooms, delicious cooked-to-order breakfasts and friendly staff all contribute to a most pleasant stay.

Great location. The owner was the absolute nicest man ever and his knowledge of the area and surrounding areas was top notch. The internet connection for the tv buffered from time to time, but seriously- who cares? I hated having to leave.
