Super friendly hostess, wonderful home cooked breakfast, beautiful garden & country side views to wake up to out the large glass doors. She was very gracious and understanding to let us check in late due to our luggage being lost. You can tell she loves doing this by all the details to make the suite beautiful. Also, a nice treat to have a few chocolates for us.

Exceeded beyond expectations! I stayed a number of nights for my work purposes. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable, entrance is separate and independent which you feel you have ultimate privacy. My room(s) were/was well equipped with whatever I needed or felt or I expected to have from a 5-star Hotel. I loved the tranquility of the place, the farm with the cows, and the hens of course. It was not too close to my work place but I loved it, so I didn't want to get a closer accommodation to my workplace. Best wishes to Gwyneth, her family, her dear ones and many thanks for everything.

I didn't like I was leaving. I wish I could have more visits,

It was a big surprise that we were actually sleeping in a lodge inside a farm, with many cows as our neighbors! Gwyneth was very caring and always tried her best to help. The room was big, clean and well-equipped. The hidden pantry, disguised as a wardrobe, was another surprise to us. Preparing breakfast on our own with all the provisions was fun.

To us, the location was quite remote. We were unfortunate to arrive on a Tuesday when almost all restaurants in Bandon were not open. We were not able to find a restaurant for dinner even with the enthusiastic help of Gwyneth. It was also a pity that the weather was not good and we could not enjoy the farm more.

Gweneth provided a warm friendly welcome and the accommodation was just superb. A self contained suite, the space was beautifully decorated and furnished. Spotlessly clean, the bathroom was in a parr with what you would expect from a high end hotel and the main space, which is cleverly designed to incorporate bedroom, lounge, and dining is very tasteful and finished to a high standard. In the corner of this space is a wardrobe kitchenette which is very well equipped and convenient. Everything has been thought of at the Brown Hen Guest House to provide a very comfortable, luxury experience - all situated in beautiful countryside which is in full view from the suite. We were touring Ireland on motorbikes and these too were accommodated and we felt happy they were safe and secure in this quiet haven. Nothing was too much and Gweneth went over and beyond to ensure we were well looked after during our stay. The perfect host and wonderful cook of homemade fayre for breakfast, she and her lovely family added to our wonderful experience of visiting Ireland.

Nothing - everything was superb!

Gwyneth contacted me before I arrived and asked me if I had any requirements for breakfast etc. I was only on a overnight business trip, but honestly The Brown Hen was absolutely beautiful. Great night's sleep, beautiful location and views. You might think you have a wardrobe in the corner of the room, but it is actually a secret kitchen, with everything, brilliant. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nothing.

Where to begin!!!! What a beautiful B&B on the outskirts of Bandon on a working farm. The accommodation is a separate building like a bungalow with two separate accommodation units. They contain a beautiful bed and self contained with a microwave oven,kettle, fridge so everything you really required to be self sufficient. Gwyneth is a fantastic host with a real and honest interest in people and the business. She went out of her way to drop me into Bandon where I had an appointment and even drove me past my grandmother's house where I lived in Bandon over 40 years ago. She could not have done more for my one nights stay. It was a cold day when I arrived but the room was so cozy and warm and welcoming. I ended up lying in bed watching tv and falling asleep and really because of the relaxing nature of the location I could easily have spent a couple of relaxing days here! It was such a different experience to many hotels where Gwyneth made the experience a personal experience... Top marks and If I am back in Bandon I will be sure to stay here again... I believe what Gyneth is doing is a fantastic job and not to change anything......Thanks so much again Gwyneth!!!!!

Leaving to go home

The hosting was exceptional so helpful, friendly and full of cheer. The accommodation was outstanding as was the location and value. The breakfast was plentyful and delicious. Gwyneth worked really hard to make out stay memorable and it was. Without hesitation I would stay there again. Highly recommended. Mike

Nothing not to dislike, it was all brilliant

I loved the self contained aspect, the silence of the countryside. It was like a junior hotel suite. Gwyneth was a great host.

All your breakfast a little cold ham at breakfast would be nice. You cater for yourself and the breakfast essentials are all there. Maybe if I had asked for it I would have been given it as the host was very obliging & asked what I wanted.

The room with a kitchenette was decorated beautifully, the location was convenient, and the views were spectacular. Rolling hills - what you imagine Ireland looks like from all the photos you’ve seen. Gwyneth was so helpful and met our every need. If I am ever back in this area I will definitely stay here again. 5 stars!!!

Where do I start! Gwyneth, our host was a treasure - so accommodating, kind and smiley. We had a nice chat in the main house before we left and met the most gorgeous sausage dog, Pepper 😄 The room was comfy and very well equipped with anything you might need during your stay - from hand lotions to ear buds, plugs to couple card games. Every cupboard hid something. The kitchenette had EVERYTHING, all smartly tucked away. Now the bed... it was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in many hotels (plus I'm a terribly picky, awkward sleeper). The breakfast was delicious and fresh, brought right up to your door. It's been one of the most relaxing stays for us, with lots of nature and good people around.
