There are benefits to the Abbey House B&B. It is across the street from the magnificent Jerpoint Abbey, which allows time for walks and contemplation of the Abbey. Additionally, there is parking on site, and it is not far from Thomastown which has several nice cafes. Overall, I had minimal contact with the proprietor so I cannot speak on her or guest relations. I initially chose this B&B based on the wonderful TripAdvisor reviews, and I am clearly in the minority regarding my overall poor experience. There were several significant issues, all related to cleanliness. First, both the bedroom and the bathroom had a significant bug burden, ranging from spiders to small brown creatures. The bottom of the closet had at least ten dead, there were two living in the window valence followed by four (large) spiders on the ceiling of the bedroom and three in the bathroom. A secondary issue was the dusty nature of the furniture. The bedding was clean, but the chair and end tables had not been wiped in some time. A third issue was the dirty mugs for tea. Both mugs placed in my room had been used recently and were significantly stained. I am happy to send pictures to other travelers upon request. I understand that COVID has been difficult on small businesses, and perhaps my experience was an outlier related to hard times. Regardless, uncleanliness to that degree was not acceptable for me as a guest.
