The castle and grounds are pristinely kept. The staff are warm and welcoming. The breakfast was exceptional and the dungeon bar had amazing dinner options. We especially enjoyed chatting in the library bar and sitting by the fire in the lounge. We met wonderful guests and told/heard so many stories. We can’t wait to go back!

This was a great place to stay. It is located just beside the Birr Castle Estate on a nice quiet street. The hosts were warm and welcoming. They gave us tips on where to eat and places to see. The accomodation was comfortable with outdoor seating in the garden. I would highly reccomend it for a lovely place to stay in Birr.

I liked Roscrea and I did not find anything negative.
I liked Roscrea and I did not find anything negative. Rackett Hall was an ideal location and great value to visit Birr Castle and heritage sights in surrounding towns.
The food in Rackett hall was excellent and we did not find it necessary to eat elsewhere. There are several golf courses near at hand and Roscrea is a very welcoming club.

Lovely little town.
Lovely little town. Seemed very bustling in the business area, and St. Cronan's Catholic Church was beautiful! Also did some hiking at Orange Hill. Our only disappointment was the Roscrea Heritage Center, which was closed for renovation, and we had hoped to get help there with ancestor information. Despite being closed, the director and assistant were very friendly and helpful and gave us some great Roscrea history. Enjoyed our visit to Leap Castle, too.
Fantastic breakfast. We enjoyed an amazing assortment of fresh fruit and cereals before a lovely cooked breakfast. We were delighted to happen across this excellent B&B as the local hotel had no availability. However, we would not hesitate in making this our first choice going forward if we were to stay in the area again. Hosts were really welcoming and went the extra mile for us. The weather was very cold but the room was lovely and warm and the bed really comfortable.
Breakfast was excellent, The staff were extremely friendly and made you feel very welcome, The location and gardens were a lovely place to relax Free parking on the hotel site. Birr castle is a short drive away and deserves a visit. This is an ideal location for golfers , Roscrea golf course is right next door and Birr ,Templemore courses are short drives away.
Beautifully decorated cottage, generously equipped. Great location close to Roscrea. Homely and interesting, Lovely Woodburning stove. Also a wood pellet stove for central heating. Everything in the cottage - Bedlinen, furniture, crockery, equipment – is lovely
Very easy to find the location of the B+B. Very friendly and welcoming owner/hostess. Room was great- hotel standard with lots of room, tv and ensuite. Breakfast and dining area very nice and clean as well. 100% recommended if you are in the area.
the hotel was really comfortable and in a convenient location.
the room and general hotel was very clean.
there is an EV charger on site that only requires the user to download an app- which was very easy to use.
