EXCELLENT Based on 823 reviews Flyer4273002025-05-08Verified 100% worth staying here Avalon House B&B is 5 star plus. I would highly recommend. The beautiful home is spotless clean . The breakfast caters for all taste with an extensive menu. The proprietor Tom is friendly and helpful. I have stayed here many times and would not go anywhere else unless they were full. The location is walking distance to the town with restaurants and bars.Thanks again Tom for a lovely stay. Dan C2025-05-01Verified Best choice Excellent stay. Tom sent all the information I needed to find his B&B and all checking in was done online prior to arrival. The house and lodging are beautifully clean and maintained, gardens are gorgeous, breakfast choices are outstanding. I’d stay again if I’m back in the area. Penelope Halligan2025-02-25Verified Perfect Carlow BB Welcoming and homely. What a delightful and charming B&B. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful attic room which was spotlessly clean. I only managed a cooked breakfast one morning, which was a shame as the food was lovely. Great location just a short walk into town. Would certainly stay again if next in Carlow. eduardo2025-02-03Verified Como en tu propia casa Te sientes como en tu propia casa. El Manager está atento para que todo esté perfecto. Se duerme de maravilla. Y los desayunos me encanta. Sencillamente muy recomendable y con una gran hospitalidad. Las habitaciones son cómodas y por la mañana te levantas completamente relajado con ese magnífico olor del full Irish breakfast (de los mejores que he comido) un 5 me parece poco. Mejor un 10 Jacinta (Dublin)2024-11-17Verified HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Great food, great service and great value for money. While visiting in Carlow I chose this B&B because of its many well deserved good reviews. and it’s close proximity to Carlow town. My opinion of it It is that it is of 4 star hotel quality. From its meticulously maintained inside to its beautiful pictures, paintings and furnishings to its homely feel it could give any 4 star hotel a run for its money. No expense spared - a very good breakfast menu to suit all pallets and a very generous amount. Absolutely great value for money . Nicely decorated well heated bedroom with an array of nice toiletries - comb, dental , washables etc. equipped with a great sound quality TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Room was serviced every day to the highest standard. Tom was a marvellous host and I very much enjoyed our conversations during my stay. Highlight of my stay was getting a history and tour of the fabulous Christmas decorations meticulously placed throughout every corner of his lovely home that have very obviously been lovingly collected throughout many years . It was a sight to behold and gave the house a great Christmas feel. All in all a lovely stay and I’ll be back for sure. Thanks Tom. Pauline F2024-10-25Verified Could not recommend more.Excellent in every way. We had a lovely time in Avlon House. It is super clean comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was really delicious with a great variety of options. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly. We would highly recommend staying here and will most certainly be back!!! Maria B2024-10-04Verified Family break Excellent B and B. Beautiful house, great amenities and only 5/ 10 minute walk into town and train station. The breakfast choices were numerous and all delicious. Tom is very attentive and knowledgeable of the area and ensures that the guests needs are met. Would recommend. HerreraMan2024-09-28Verified Amazing Stay! Great stay in this very lovely traditional Irish home. We loved our breakfast and the host Thomas was great and provided local tips and recommendations. His hospitality is 5 stars all the way!! It was very quiet during our stay. I did read some bad reviews regarding the host not accommodating late arrivals but you have to remember this is not a hotel with a 24 hour front desk and maid staff. The breakfast was cooked by Thomas himself and it was very delicious with many options. eduardo2024-07-30Verified Un alojamiento con encanto Es un alojamiento y desayuno con un gran encanto muy bien decorada que te hace sentir como en casa y su anfitrión. Tom, siempre atento a todas tus necesidades y ayudándote en todo lo que puede. Me he encontrado como si estuviera en casa. Sin duda es un alojamiento para volver y recomendarlo a mis amistades y conocidos para que se alojen. A nivel gastronómico los desayunos son fabulosos. laurence p2024-07-28Verified Excellent BB We have a very good experience during our two days stay in Avlon House Bed &Breakfast : a nice room, an excellent breakfast, a fonctionnal bathroom, an attentive welcome, good advices about what to visit around Carlow and in all the south east. We recommend.
EXCELLENT Based on 153 reviews Naoya Saeki2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience during my stay in Carlow. The house is beautiful and clean, with a charming, spacious backyard (it had a few elements that reminded me of my home country). The host was very warm and welcoming, and you can enjoy a superb breakfast of your choice for a fee. You couldn’t ask for a better place in the area! Pavel Hollý2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect accomodation. Thank You Tom. Pavel holly Martin Antálek2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Veľmi príjemný hotel a príjemný majiteľ. Navštívil som ho niekoľko krát a vždy som bol spokojný. A hotel ma nesklamal ani tento rok. Opäť som bol nadmieru spokojný. Odporúčam. Davy Gray2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place. Comfortable, a warm welcome from the Proprietor's and a great choice of breakfast. David Ray O'Brien2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed here in July '24 for two nights - 2 adults one child in a 2-bed room. Tom is a great host with plenty of recommendations for places to see and the best way to get there. We were only in Carlow because Kilkenny did not have availability in our price range, but it turned out to be a good decision. You can easily visit and tour Kilkenny (town) in a day from here, and who would have know County Carlow had its own attractions too? (I'd recommend Huntington Castle and gardens.) It was a short drive into Carlow Town to the Teach Dolmain pub for dinner - good value but busy, particularly during sport. It would be possible to walk into town - around 12-15 minutes at an easy pace, so not ideal if you don't have a car, but do-able. Rooms at Avlon were clean and tidy, as was outside. Be aware it's on a main road - but it's "down the country", so not too loud/busy if you're used to cities. The Irish breakfast was great, and there are other options if that's not your thing. Recommended for anyone wanting to see Kilkenny in the busy months, or as a stop between Dublin and Cork/Kerry. Would suit anyone doing business in the area too.

Właściciel przesympatyczny i bardzo pomocny. Parking na miejscu, lokalizacja - ok. 10 min spacerkiem do centrum. Polecam,nie ma się do czego przyczepić. Terrie Mcdarby2025-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had a weekend here and it was an amazing experience. It is a beautiful place with antique furniture, gorgeous paintings and tasteful decoration. Our bedroom was large and the bed super comfortable with a good size bathroom. Breakfast was delightfully presented with a large selection of food. There is a small car park too and it is in easy access to the town center on foot.
