Sara

I booked The Old Fort Lodge based on the photo of a three story stone manor building set on large well manicured grass lawns, as the leading photo. There were photos of outdoor sports that indicated being attached to the stone fort or manor house. The address was 3 Old Fort Road. About the 13th photo was of a family home which I thought was an attached property. I booked two nights, received confirmation then no other emails. Worried 24 hours before hand I googled again, the photo of the stone fort or manor house came up again, same address which I googled and this time pressed the street view image to get a 360 degree view of a suburb and realised I’d booked someone’s family home. I would never have deliberately booked that. I immediately emailed The Old Fort Lodge that I was canceling (gave no reason) understanding I would receive no refund. No reply at all.

The breakfast was very well done. The pillows could be better. The place was very clean. I think small mirror in the bedrooms would be good as the bathroom is shared. Also i think little tables in the bathrooms would be nice so you would have more place to put your toiletries. Parking was great and convenient. Thanks Peter for your hopitality

The property was clean and tidy. Beds were a bit soft. No sheet, which is not unusual for Europe. If you don't mind sharing the bathroom with two other groups it is a very reasonably priced option.

The owners disappeared behind closed doors the entire time-not breakfast. We wanted to turn the register on for some heat, but didn’t know how to reach them. We emailed but didn’t get a response. In hindsight we should have looked for a phone number.

Old Fort B&B is a fine option for a visitor who doesn't mind staying outside the town centre. The walk from the train station is pleasant, and the neighborhood is charming. Clean, comfortable accommodations, with a full Irish breakfast.

Glad to be leaving.

Very dated and tired condition everything was basic no heating house was cold and shared bathroom . Looks like it was furnished out of a charity shop. Breakfast was good. Would not be a candidate for 4 in a bed.

Owners were perfect blend of yin and yang. Mary is a sociable, engaging and caring hostess, whilst Peter exudes an unflappable but equally compassionate calm. Both professional without resorting to a robotic script. Their wonderful manner (and the robust breakfast) got me through a difficult weekend and enabled me to have the end of life discussion my mum needed. I would heartily recommend for those who can share a bathroom without hysterics, and who understand that tasteful, established furnishings are more in keeping with the sustainable planet we all claim to love than this year’s bling. I will be back.
