Right at the foot of the Rock of Cashel, Joy's Rockside House has an amazing location. We were able to walk up to the Rock right after breakfast and the B&B is also a short walk from the town center and restaurants. We were able to leave our car at the car park in the B&B saving us the hassle... More

Very nice room. Joan (owner) very pleasant. We did not prebook. Full Irish breakfast. Good food. Even allowed us to leave car in her carpark which saved us Euro 4.50 which is parking charge at St Patricks Roch aka Roch of Cashel. The b&b is right at foot of rock literally a stones throw away. She did require prepayment but... More

The proprietess demanded payment in advance, offered no refreshments, and the room I had while spacious resulted in a poor night's sleep. There were yellow halogen street lamps shining directly into the room (two large ones) and it was like daylight. Black-out curtains would have made a difference. Secondly the walls were thin and the family next door kept talking... More

How great is it to visit Cashel to see the Rock of Cashel and see it while brushing your teeth? Joy's Rockside is literally at the foot of the Rock and it takes four minutes to walk to the entrance. We'd originally asked for a room with two double beds, but upon arrival, Joan invited us to view a room... More

We are a family of 5. Our 3 adult children stayed in a triple, while my husband and I were across the hall in a double. The location couldn't be better...right next to the Rock of Cashel and a short walk to downtown. Joan gave us excellent guidance on places to eat and visit. The rooms are very comfortable and...

Joy's Rockside is clean, well-kept and ideally located for a visit to the Rock of Cashel. Unfortunately, we drove right by it and then paid to park in the public lot while we visited the Rock, only to learn that we could have parked closer by pulling into the lot at the B&B! Rem and Joy are lovely people and... More

Joy's Rockside was perfect. The B&B itself was clean, comfortable and so pretty. Joan and Rem (owners) were wonderful hosts; with Joan giving us a lift to a local site, and waiting for us to look around so she could give us a ride home. I reported a small problem with my shower, and it was fixed before I could... More

We spent our first night in Ireland here, and were we ever glad! Rem greeted us with a map and a smile, full of recommendations of hidden sites in town and places to eat. They checked us in - our room was ready early! - and it was just right. Comfy bed with a view of a field of sheep!... More

My daughter and I returned to Joy's for 2 nights in May. (wish we had stayed 3) We had stayed there 2 years ago and made it our first reservation for this trip. Joy's is the cleanest, most comfortable B&B we've stayed at in Ireland! Joan is the perfect hostess, full of ideas of where to go and eat. The... More

Joy's Rockside House was to us the epitome of a B&B - tidy, quaint, charming host and hostess, wonderful breakfast, and easy to walk to anywhere in town. And then there is the view of the Rock of Cashel from our bedroom window. When it was all lit up at night, it was like a postcard view. We enjoyed the... More
