We loved staying here! We wish we had more time here. We checked in late at night, and enjoyed the Friday night music until the pub closed (then just being able to walk upstairs to go to bed was great). All the staff were lovely, and the full Irish breakfast the next morning was a highlight too (definitely worth paying for).

Firstly the location is right in the centre of Blarney, so ideal for walking to the castle or the woollen mill. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds and a hot powerful shower, we were on the second floor which was very quiet at night even if the bar was still open and as it was warm we had the window open all night. The bar is busy but still found seats every night, it’s a great friendly place to spend the evenings and when we were there had live music on 3 nights. There is also a garden area which is also very pleasant on a warm evening. However, what really makes this place stand out is all the staff, every single one ( and there are a lot) work incredibly hard to make sure you are looked after, I have never met such a group of people so genuinely driven to make you feel welcome, we all felt like we were friends when we left. If only every bar/B&B/ hotel was like this one, keep up the great work, we will be back.

I would not change anything

The staff were always willing to help and go above and beyond. Very nice people and they are the reason we would visit again. We did have a lovely view of the park and garden across the street. The bed was comfortable. The food and music at the bar were wonderful.

The noise. We were in room 1 and we heard every person stomping up and down the stairs. The 5am garbage pickup, the 6am grocery delivery, the smoke break conversations from people at the bar below standing on the sidewalk, the people in the room above us bowling, etc. In all irony, the one thing we couldn't hear was the music from the bar below. :)

Fantastic staff very nice and friendly and polite, Garry who I met first down at the bar was very welcoming and explained everything I needed to know and had no questions to ask him as he answered them all. Food was great and good portions.,the two waiters we had served us were extremely polite and so friendly. Pints of Guinness was very tasty probably one of the best I’ve had believe it or not. Great size rooms and clean

One small things but i know it’s a bar below but could not get myself to sleet quickly due to live music down in the bar below us but still managed to get to sleep, but I can understand it’s in a busy part of blarney as well so.

The check in process was very easy. The location of the B&B is excellent. The rooms were clean and had everything we could have needed. Although the rooms are above the pub, there was no noise, and the rooms were peaceful. It was a fun experience to wake up and walk downstairs to the pub for breakfast. The staff were kind and helpful, and even called a taxi for us when we went into town. Great location and accommodation!

One of the rooms we had in our party was quite hot (which is unusual in Ireland, especially in the evenings). A fan in the room would have made it a bit more comfortable, but it was not intolerable.

Talk about a real Irish experience staying above a pub! I was worried that it would be loud, but I never heard a thing from the bar below us. The room was big, clean, and nicer than I expected. We looked out onto Blarney Square. Dinner at the pub was delicious, as was breakfast the next morning. They let us keep our car parked there the next day while we walked to Blarney Castle. And everyone was so friendly. This is a place I would definitely stay again!

Really the only negative was that there were people outside the bar on the street that we could hear as we were going to bed. I put some earplugs in and never heard them again.

Loved our stay here! We walked to Blarney Castle from the Muskerry Arms; it's literally a few hundred yards. And we loved staying in Blarney for the night. The Muskerry Arms rooms were some of the best we stayed in on our trip from Dublin to Dingle. Newly remodeled, large with comfy beds and pillows! And it was much quieter than expected. The staff were so kind and accommodating and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. ...And they have a HUGE back garden/patio/outside bar that was so nice to enjoy while we were there in August. Highly recommend!

We loved the ambiance and the experience of staying above a pub like the olden days! I liked being so close to the pub, but also the Woolen Mills. In addition, the staff were soooooo friendly! Free breakfast was an excellent touch as well.

Not having an elevator made large luggage pieces difficult. The booking process was a little obscure. And I was not 100 % clear on how to check - in, but it all was figured out quite easily. Also, two rooms were rather stuffy since the fans were not in front of the windows. Also surprised that there are no window screens in the windows, but found out that screens are not common in Ireland.

Great location in the lovely village of Blarney with off street parking available also. Very comfortable room which seemed a world away from the Pub downstairs.......even with the Pub heaving with people, there was not a sound heard in our room. We used Blarney as a base for a few days - really enjoyed our stay & of course great place to be to beat the tourist buses by being first in the queue when the gates open to go to Blarney Castle & Kiss the Stone!

Cannot comment on meals at the Muskerry Arms as we did not eat there - but our stay there was great.

This B&B was in a great location. We were able to do laundry about a mile and a half from here. We sat across the street at a pub and had lunch while we waited on our clothes. The entrance to the Blarney Castle was about a block away as well as the Blarney Woolen Mills for shopping. You could see the B&B from the entrance of each site. The owner let us park our car here while we visited the Blarney Castle. We had dinner in the bier garden and breakfast in the main restaurant. Breakfast was really good. We ordered off the main menu and ate with some locals.

The staff attending to guests in the bier garden for dinner could've been more attentive. Even going to the bar to order another drink or close out the tab was difficult. Maybe the service was better inside the restaurant.
