Aiden served breakfast in the dining area. He was delightful. He gave us some excellent advice on our next area we were traveling to in Ireland. Beautiful home loved hearing the history of the home. Great location too.

Filled with History!

We stayed for two nights and had a lovely, peaceful time. The food was delicious, prepared by Joyce, and we got a ton of advice and insight about the area and Ireland in general from Aidan. They were very friendly and welcoming, and the house and grounds are gorgeous and steeped in Irish history. If we ever come back to Tuam, we'd happily stay again!

Our hosts were wonderful. Aiden was so personable and a wealth of information. We didn’t see Joyce so much, but her work in the kitchen was exceptional. I tried the yoga room (like no other!) but there wasn’t a class while I was there. The grounds are beautiful

The most gorgeous place very clean and Aiden was a great and helpful host. The only thing I would add is a microwave in the dining area for guest in the evening. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous. Loved this place would stay again.
