What an absolutely wonderful first impression of a host in Ireland! Dolores is exceptional! She gave us the best Irish greeting with smiles, hugs and kisses on both cheeks! She really set the bar very high for all of the other B&B's that we reserved. We all felt so warm and welcomed and excited to be starting our trip in beautiful Ireland. Now we want to move there and live forever! After unloading the car, we went right to the lounge where Dolores brought us tea and biscuits. It was wonderful after our long overnight flight from the US. We soon were on our way to the ferry for the Aran Islands, but only after Dolores called for us to verify that the weather was fine and the ferry would be still going to Inisheer. She is a delight. The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast of eggs, bacon/ham, toast, brown bread, fruit, cereal, yogurt, black pudding, croissants, jams, juice, coffee, and tea. Dolores and her husband, Garry, were so helpful and got us anything we needed. Dolores was so kind and loving to our daughter as well, and now Lauren wants to return just to see her! The bedroom and bathroom were perfect; we had everything we needed: hairdryer, shampoo, soap, conditioner, great shower pressure, clean towels and linens (top sheets included), very comfortable beds and plenty of outlets for charging electronics. Beautiful view of a small courtyard and only a minute from Bunratty Castle and Durty Nelly's restaurant (who has the best fillet steak, vegetables and garlic potatoes anywhere). Also, only about ten minutes from Shannon airport. No other B&B host outdid Dolores; she set the bar the first day and kept it right up there for our entire trip (2 weeks)! We were so lucky to have booked our very last night with her as well! We received double the pleasure with her! We highly recommend Bunratty Castle Mews!
