EXCELLENT Based on 843 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Dermot MVerified Comfortable stay We stayed three nights in a very comfortable ensuite room. Ample parking. Excellent breakfast choices, incl fresh fish option daily. Tom, our host, was very helpful and knowledgeable about places to visit. Would highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Alan WVerified Ideal for Carlow The welcome was excellent, the room was clean & comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding and set you up for the day. Highly recommendable.Posted on Tripadvisor johnstonmrdavidjVerified A top quality accommodation at affordable prices. Avlon was in the perfect location to stay for my midweek two night trip to the Wicklow mountains and Kilkenny. The reviews I read were not wrong, this accommodation is of hotel standard, in fact the quality of the rooms and en suite is better than most 4 star hotels I have stayed in. Tom has thought of everything, he is welcoming and very knowledgeable of the area providing guidance and information for places to see. Visited Inistioge (multiple filming location), Borris, Blessington and the lakes, Hollywood (great cafe with EV charger nearby), Russborough house, Glendalough, Tinahelly (Irish Blood series film location) Bunclody, several scenic drives and many other locations, Avlon was central for all my needs. The accommodation is well equipped, comfortable and extremely clean. Everything is of top quality. A good varied breakfast menu is available, bookable at time of reservation or the evening before , again good quality and you won't be left wanting. There is a comfortable guest lounge, guest parking including an EV charger which can be accessed at very fair rates per kWh, easier to use and less expensive than most of the public chargers in the region. You are close to the town, close to the country and close to motorway links, though I prefer the scenic routes, some of which are pretty spectacular. I would definitely be seeking to book Avlon when we next visit the area. All bedrooms are only accessible by stairs. Luxurious accommodation, best prices for the quality you get.Posted on Tripadvisor Kerry SVerified Perfect place to stay in Carlow My husband and I stayed in Avlon for three nights, it is perfectly positioned for Carlow town and surrounding areas . The house is pristine and the attention to detail is amazing. Tom is a lovely host and I would highly recommend a stay at Avlon .Posted on Tripadvisor Paul OVerified Wie zu Hause! Schon beim Betreten des Avlon House B&B und dem herzlichen Empfang von Tom fühlte ich mich wie zu Hause. Ich stamme ursprünglich aus Carlow und bin vor 38 Jahren nach Deutschland gezogen. Das Haus ist mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt eingerichtet. Ich habe noch nie ein besseres irisches Frühstück gegessen. Wenn Sie Carlow besuchen, kann ich Ihnen dieses luxuriöse B&B wärmstens empfehlen. Der Preis ist für diese Qualität mehr als angemessen. Ich werde definitiv wieder dort übernachten, wenn ich das nächste Mal in Carlow bin.Posted on Tripadvisor Eli DVerified Best experience ever Met every expectation in every way. The food was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to ensure it was taken care of.Posted on Tripadvisor cathydarcyVerified Couple of night for R and R Tom was very welcoming on arrival. As usual the whole house was spotless. The room and en suite were gleaming, think en suite has been re done. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. I don't think Tom can do aching else to improve his business.Posted on Tripadvisor DJMVerified Lovely place Lovely clean, ample amount of toiletries. Had a really good sleep very comfy bed and then to top it off, lovely breakfast. Would highly recommend this B&B FantasticPosted on Tripadvisor Emilia KVerified Great b&b The room was spacious, warm and absolutely spotless. Only a short walk from town. Amazing breakfast. Tom is a fantastic host. We will definitely stay here for our next visit 😊Posted on Tripadvisor Vicente PVerified Viaje Familiar El Hotel Avlon Bed & Breakfast es muy acogedor, con un ambiente de tranquilidad.

Logement cosi et très propre. Accueil sympathique, logeur disponible, attentionné et discret.
