Our stay with Therese and her family made us feel like coming home to relatives. The kids were great, we were offered tea or,coffee on our arrival and made to,feel,right at home. A lovely long chat with Therese in the morning and a breakfast room which encouraged interaction among the guests started our day perfectly.

The nicest part of running a B$B is meeting and talking with many interesting people like yourselves. It makes the world much smaller and thank you so much for your lovely words, More

As well as a nice stay with a great breakfast, the B&B is situated well for exploring Bantry town and Therese and Sean are... More

Unfortunately, we only had one night at this wonderful B&B: We felt welcome from the moment we arrived being welcomed with wonderful muffins and good coffee.

I have stayed at Doire Liath twice in the last two years while cycle touring in South West Ireland. Both times my friends and I have arrived soaked to the skin!

Even though we arrived early the welcome and refreshment we received on arrival was extremely pleasant and we were immediately treated as one of the family. Our room was not en-suite but we had easy access to the bathroom. The breakfast was a very good full Irish breakfast. Thank you for a great stay
