Georgina Campbell's Farmhouse of the Year 2005
'....It’s an old house, but well restored to combine old furniture with modern comforts; the bedrooms are not especially big, but they are thoughtfully furnished and, like the rest of the house, immaculate.
There’s a great welcome and guests feel at home immediately - especially once they get tucked into Ber’s delicious dinners.
Genuinely hospitable hosts, homely comforts - including a log fire to relax beside after dinner and a large, well-maintained garden, where guests can enjoy the peaceful setting - all add up to a real country break.......'

Frommer's Ireland
'This sweetly decorated, relaxing farmhouse B&B is a real find. Set amid a  beautiful mountainous terrain, it's run with aplomb by Kevin and Ber O'Donnell. 
Those who love fishing love Kilmaneen, as you can cast for trout here, into either the Suir or the Tar, without any permit required. You will be provided  with a fisherman's hut for tying flies, storing equipment, and waders. Kevin is trained in mountaineering and leads trekking and walking tours into the nearby Knockmealdowns, Comeraghs, or Galtee mountains.'

Millenium Farm Landscape Regional Award

Kevin entered a farm landscape project for a special 2000 Millenium Award.  It involved the transformation of an unattractive farm waste site into a landscaped area planted with several specimen trees. 
This project was sponsored by the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) and the Irish Farmer's Association
