What guests think

Travellers describe Innisfree House as a charming, old-world guesthouse with excellent cooked-to-order breakfasts and a convenient location near the train station, offering comfortable rooms with period décor that create a warm, home-like atmosphere for a relaxed stay.

Rooms are clean, with very comfy beds, yet several guests report traffic noise in front rooms and occasional drawbacks like small showers, cooler rooms, or older-style bathrooms. Service is widely praised as warm, helpful, and efficient; one reviewer found after-hours entry confusing due to a locked front door. Expect a welcoming, characterful stay, and consider requesting a room away from the road.

I had a lovely stay at the Innisfree Guest House. The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was gorgeous. It was perfect for my overnight stay. Only 3 minutes walk from the train station and probably another 4/5 minutes walk to the centre of Dundalk which is excellent. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Very charming hostess, with a warm welcome. Loved the candles everywhere, very homey. A little bit tired, but highest issue for me was the road noise. This hotel faces directly onto a busy road, and my room looked out onto a gas station, which probably increased the traffic noise.

Great experience but nowhere to sit the bags. Living off the floor not great for older guests. Stepping over baths also a problem.

The building was magnificent, every room was so grand. We were on the top floor so that was extremely tiring but very wide stairs so that helped. Breakfast was superb. My only criticism was the soap dispensers weren't great. Luckily, we had our own soap so there was no need for us to go up and down those stairs! I must say though, my daughter (obviously, far younger) was fine with the top floor.

Innisfree House was a lovely place to stay. Nicely old-fashioned and well-furnished common rooms and bedroom (but with modern kettle and TV!), very comfortable bed, and a delicious breakfast provided each morning. There didn't seem to be many other guests around during my stay and so the building was very quiet. Staff were all friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

fue una gran experiencia hospedarse en una casa de huéspedes tradicional europea donde te sientes realmente en casa, el desayuno es a la carta con una trato muy personal y cordial, por las mañanas el olor a café y pan que sube a la habitación te hace iniciar el día como si estuvieras en casa. Realmente fue una gran experiencia, la ubicación está muy cercana a la estación del tren y autobus y llegar al centro también es muy fácil caminando. Una gran experiencia y seguro volveremos

My stay was magical. The bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to get up. If it wasn’t for the delicious breakfast that was being served, I might have stayed in bed. The staff really makes you feel like royalty. The beautiful interior, antiques, china, crystal, and chandeliers will take your breath away and transport you to a time gone by. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Innisfree House. I stayed 5 nights and really didn’t want to leave.

I had a simply amazing time when I stayed here. If there were a 10 star rating I would be ticking the box. Great nights sleep. Fabulous Breakfast It's a very beautiful house with such character and everything about it was perfect. It's a true gem and what all B & B should thrive to be. I'd highly recommend it to anyone and they all do afternoon tea and you rent the house entirely to yourself family and friends.
