In Ontario Canada, we would call such an establishment a “country inn” as opposed to a B&B. There are 5 guest rooms on the upper floor, and a dining room with 5 tables for 2 set up for breakfast on the main floor (as well as two common lounges). Our bedroom had an ensuite with shower, was spacious, provided lots of closets and drawers to unpack into, and was kept meticulously clean. The beds were nice and firm (but some type of soft mattress “topper” would have made them more comfortable). The building itself is modern, though it is designed and decorated in a traditional style. There were several choices for breakfast, and all were delicious. The host was helpful with information both before and during our stay. The location was on a bus route, and was only a 10 minute walk from either the train station or downtown Carlow which has many pubs - and some (such as Reddy’s and Teach Domain) serve “fine dining” food. The B&B is also a 2 minute walk to a small petro-station shop that sells snacks and wine. You will find the traffic noise typical if you are a city-dweller. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Carlow.
