Very pleasant stay.

We had a very pleasant stay. Hosts Therese and Sean were very helpful and T’s breakfasts excellent. Best porridge I’ve had for ages. My only comment, which I did mention to Therese, was that our room was just a bit too snug to be a double and needed a blind to screen you from the front road. Thinner people than me probably wouldn’t mind!

While the people were friendly and the location convenient to the town, the room was minuscule with no ensuite. Breakfast was average.

Cosy and welcoming!

Sean and Theresa were so warm and welcoming and made our stay really pleasant. So glad that we decided to stay here, it was very cosy and felt like we experienced the true Irish hospitality. Greated with tea coffee and cake, delicious breakfast every morning with homemade soda bread and black pudding. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Doire Liath B&B: a hidden jewel in Bantry's crown

I stayed in Doire Liath (Grey Oak) B&B with my husband and two teenage children. We loved everything about it: our bedroom was charming (as was the rest of the house). We received a warm welcome, initially from Amy (the proprietors' young helper) and then, the following morning, from Therese and Sean themselves. The breakfast was delicious: my husband said it was the best breakfast he'd ever had in a B&B! We would definitely recommend it to relatives/friends and go back there ourselves - indeed, we are looking forward to our next visit!

Such great care taken to make the visitors feel at home, even in difficult times. The small touch of a cup of tea on arrival (not available in hotel we stayed in) was most welcome.
