We came by Abbey Lodge Guesthouse after another B&B in the area had a last minute cancellation due to a family emergency. To make things worse Airbnb submitted us with incorrect directions to Abbey Lodge, this was compounded by the rain, evening chill and trying to locate the Guesthouse on a motorcycle. I was past frustrated by the time we finally found the Abbey Lodge... However, we were quickly greeted and my frustration melted away instantly.
Our room was spacious and warm, as was the rest of Abbey Lodge. Breakfast was prompt and plentiful, and overall the guesthouse was clean and inviting.
My wife had been battling a severe cough and congestion since arriving in Ireland, and riding the roads in a sidecar attached to a motorcycle was probably not a wise idea. Once in the Abbey Lodge room I noted a helpful book on the bed full of information; including an On Call Doctor. Long story short, John King the owner, made a call to the doctor that next morning after breakfast. Within an hour we able to see the doctor, get prescriptions and picked up the medicines! AMAZING! The help John provided us allowed Cheryl to rally her strength and finish the remaining days (and nights) on the sidecar! Out of the numerous stays we had while on our 2 week adventure of Ireland, the Abbey Lodge Guesthouse was the one of the finest, and CERTAINLY the most helpful of all!
