Beaufort House Accomodation

This was our first accommodation house on Ireland and we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome from Margaret and Rolex the watch dog. We had a double room with ensuite. The property was spotlessly clean, with tea and coffee provided in our room. The ensuite included a bath. Continental breakfast was included in our booking with an extra charge for a cooked breakfast which was excellent. We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

After a long journey from England when the ferries were disrupted by storm/hurricane Lee I was met by Margaret who told she had cancelled my booking and she had no room for me. Now 9 pm she did phone a few numbers but asked me to leave to find somewhere myself . I am 83. By the time I found a bed it was 11pm and I had travelled 96 miles since landing from the ferry in Rosslare.

We were in the cabin behind the main property and it was so quiet and lovely. The rain on the roof while we were sitting on our little front porch was magical! The mattress left something to be desired but that was my only concern.

Our stay was perfect, and the host is so very accommodating and friendly! The room was so clean and charming. We even booked an extra night since we enjoyed our stay so much! Thanks so much for the amazing accommodation our first time in Ireland!

Final payment was taken out of my account without consent beforehand. I was under the impression, as I was told, that final payment was to be paid on arrival. There were 2 other rooms which were to be paid by the others but their payments were taken from my account. When I asked the host for clarification of payments taken, she basically told us that if we weren’t happy we could go elsewhere as she would have no problem letting her rooms out to others! As we had nowhere else to go, we stayed. Our deluxe room looked lovely on entering but on closer inspection it was quite dirty in places such as mirror, settee, window etc and the toilet seat was sliding from side to side. My husband walked into the on suite an slipped and fell into the wall as the mat was sliding on the floor. The host made her presence known if anyone was on the veranda as every time a guest went out for a coffee or smoke on the veranda she came out although she was pleasant and chatty a private chat could not have been had. For the price a breakfast should be included but she said if she made breakfast for 1 she would have to make it for 14!!! If porridge pots or small cereal boxes and fruit were left in the room she wouldn’t have to cook for anyone!!

We booked the Beaufort House months back for 9 nights B&B. Paid a deposit and confirmed nearer the time. Then due to the ferry being delayed we needed to contact her to inform her that we would be late arriving. In her response she told us unapologetically that she nolonger does breakfast as she is rushed off her feet!! She suggested we went to a local cafe in town for breakfast. This is not what we booked and paid for. Had we known prior to the day of arrival that this was the case we would have booked elsewhere. We arrived at 11pm where a key had been left under the front door mat for us. We both had a shower which was luke warm at best!! We ran the water for a long time but it never heated up. We have since seen a review with a similar complaint. The next morning we introduced ourselves to Margaret who promptly reiterated that she nolonger does breakfast and that we can go the local cafe. We expressed our disappointment in this as it was not what we'd booked. She wasn't the slightest bit sorry and said she had been fair in suggesting a cafe!!! She then went onto say that she was in high demand and encouraged us to leave as she couldn't hold the room for us. We said that we might stay anyway as we have no alternative accommodation. She was so uncaring and unconcerned. I explained that we would go for breakfast and discuss it. During our breakfast we received an email from her telling us that there was a B&B near the cafe that doea breakfast and we shoukd try there. We basically felt as though she couldn't get rid of us fast enough. Due to this rude and unaccomodating attitude we felt that we couldn't stay there in comfort. So we booked a hotel. We went back to pack, she didn't apologise or even enquire if we had another place to stay. She gave us a refund for the cost of the breakfast and that was that. I have never in all our years of holidaying encountered such a rude, unwelcoming person. If she is too busy to run her guest house without moaning to the guests then she needs to pack it in!!!

I loved the room we booked “lavender” Comfortable bed nice details in the room and sweet in suite bathroom with many towels Margaret contacted me in advance and it all worked out perfectly Good location not far from town centre Thank you

The room and grounds were lovely. Walking distance to restaurants. Great value for the price. Perfect for a one night stay though the room is small the decor is very pretty.

This was booked only a few days in advance and I was very happy with the accommodation. The owner provided a warm welcome and was extremely friendly and helpful.
