Our Reviews

A lovely, restful stay! What a special experience! From the home-bakes on arrival to the scrumptious evening meal and breakfast, we loved every minute of our stay. The peace and tranquility of the grounds provides for a peaceful, restful stay and being hosted by the 27th generation of the O'Conor clan, Richard and Carol-Anne, completes this very unique experience. Step back in time as you stroll through the house, with antiques and beautiful paintings on every wall, take a magical walk through the Pooh bear-themed woods or curl up with a book in the library. Do go, you won’t be disappointed!

A wonderful stay at a historical home Robert and Carol-Anne offer a wonderful stay at their home. History oozes from every corner of this beautiful well loved house. The library is a treat in itself, comfortable chairs to sit in and drink a coffee and enjoy the views into the garden. The bedrooms are beautiful, A couch by the large window and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The grounds meet up with the Suck river walk and to stroll through the woods is a lovely way to wile away an hour or two. Breakfast was delicious and certainly set you up for the day.

Clonalis House , a hidden gem . Our visit to Clonalis House was a fabulous experience. The long sweeping driveway helps you leave the busy world at the gate & the warm welcome from Carol Anne when we arrived was the icing on the cake . She had tea & delicious homemade bakes for us on arrival & is passionate & knowledgeable about the history of the estate .And what a history ! Our room was authentically furnished while including all mod cons that we could possibly need. Breakfast & dinner were freshly cooked by Richard & were presented to perfection . Dinner in the magnificent dining room with the other guests was a great experience . Richard & Carol Anne are an amazing couple , warm , gracious & friendly & the future of Clonalis is in safe hands . Get there quickly , before everyone discovers this gem .

Warm Hospitality and Great Food Once we entered their home, Carol-Anne made us feel like welcome guests. Marguerite brought us on an informative tour of the house - the house and family are steeped in history. This was followed by tea and home-baked cake in the library where we met a friendly and chatty couple. We had time for a walk around the grounds before pre-dinner drinks in the library. We shared a dinner table with our new-found friends which made for a very sociable evening. Richard cooked a top-class meal. Coffee and drinks in the library afterwards. The four of us were joined by an American lady and we chatted away until midnight. The bedroom was old style with a beautiful view. Richard's poached eggs for breakfast were top-class - poached eggs can be very hit-and-miss. The homemade plum jam and brown bread were amazing. Piers dropped into the butler's pantry to see hello at breakfast time. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.
