- "Exquisitely restored manor house facing out onto Barrow Harbour, making for an amazing luxury place to base yourselves on a motoring holiday of west Ireland. Darragh the owner is exceptional. She has a rare gift for genuine hospitality spiced with humour and quickly wraps you in lively conversation that leaves you feeling like old friends. The breakfast is generous, the menu is amazing and served around an old dining table that feels like a Jane Austen novel. Book while you can. I have a feeling this place will become so popular you can’t easily get in. Thanks for a fantastic stay!"

- "The house was spotless and the views were beautiful!" - "I stayed at Ceim House for 5 nights with two friends. It is in the most beautiful location! Every morning, we could hear a Coo Coo bird welcoming the day and watch the sheep in the field. The house is beautiful and clean. The owner met us there about an hour after our arrival and gave us all kinds of suggestions for things to do and see, which we did. She also brought us a home-cooked meal the first night for a small fee. After a long day of travel, it was nice to sit down to a good dinner at home to make the house feel like ours. The kitchen has everything anyone could need, and the house is spacious. It has two bathrooms with showers, and a garage with a pool table in it. Although we didn’t bring children with us, this location would be great for kids with lots of adventurous things to do outside. The drive up through the Gap of Dunlow is a gorgeous drive and since the sun wasn’t setting until about 10:30 pm, we had plenty of time to go play and get back up the Gap before sunset each day. I would stay at Ceim House again."
