The Guesthouse is located separately in a quiet area of the grounds with car parking available.  There are bedrooms on two floors, a sitting room, a small meeting room, a dining room and a small kitchen for your use during the day.

There are 12 en-suite rooms (ten single and two twin rooms) with private bathrooms. The rooms are modestly and simply furnished with bed linen and towels provided.

All meals are provided during your stay. Breakfast is self-service in the Guesthouse, where the guest master’s nourishing porridge is well known. Lunch is in the guest parlour at Monastery Reception, and supper is, on most occasions, in the Monastery Refectory with the monks. Supper is a silent meal with reading or music. 

We provide wholesome home-cooked meals.

While Wi-Fi is available in the Guesthouse, many guests take the opportunity to ‘switch off’.  We ask guests to keep the use of all electronic devices to a minimum and as non-intrusive on other guests as possible.

There is no ‘rate’ per se to stay at the Guesthouse.  Instead, guests chose to make a donation to go towards the cost of providing accommodation, meals, cleaning and upkeep of the Guesthouse, as well as the general care and maintenance of the Abbey. Only you can put a value on how your stay has been. People’s donations vary according to their means, but people typically donate €80+ per night.
