I have not stayed at all the B&Bs in Ireland but I stayed in six in six counties and I'm convinced that this one is among the best there is. The setting is idealic, the rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the hospitality is warm. Foxes and rabbits play in the green grass across the sweeping acreage and the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Maranatha Country House in April. The house is in fantastic condition considering it's age (I seriously think its condition is better than Muckross House in Killarney where folks pay for a tour). This is a Victorian era home which is creatively decorated by the owners to reflect the period and is the most... More

Marantha Country House is off of the main road and up a long narrow drive. When you pass the yellow house with the red shutters, keep going straight through the white guide posts. You have now arrived at the most beautiful manor in all of Blarney. You will first be greeted by Samson, a very friendly, harmless German Shepard. You... More

We cannot praise Maranatha House enough. Truly lovely rooms and immaculate. We had a mishap with the loss of our luggage by our airline and Olwen, our host, made an every effort to assist us. The locale is a little off the beaten track, but well worth the effort to find. Lovely grounds and we truly marveled at the decor.... More

Maranatha B&B is a little off the main road but it was well worth the effort. My wife and I stayed for two nights and the location was great for visiting the Blarney area and for Cork, Cobh and Waterford. Olwen is a lovely host who made wonderful suggestions for restaurants and even laundry services in the area and she... More

As others on Tripadvisor have stated, Maranatha Country House is not that easy to find, so make sure you aren't going to arrive after dark. Even with the GPS we missed the turn the first time. We had been warned by guests at another B&B the night before that it can be a challenge to find, and "don't stop at... More

We stayed in 8 places while touring Ireland. This is a special B & B just outside Blarney. As you come up the drive you see this wondertful 1887 house and beautiful grounds but what is inside is truly great. Olwen and Doug are super hosts and we wish we could have stayed longer than two nights. All rooms are... More

I booked this B/B on the recommendations of TA's reviews and they were not wrong! It is a beautiful house on a wonderful piece of property. My only regret was being able to spend only one night! Olwyn was very welcoming and breakfast was delicious and included a show by the resident foxes. My only recommendation is that if you... More

We loved this beautiful home. Olwyen, Doug and all the guests were so pleasant. We were just minutes away from the Blarney Castle and Blaire Inn for dinner was outstanding. All the rooms were decorated perfectly, the grounds were lovely and I even have to give the dogs 5 stars as they were so poilite. I would stay here again!
