Old Irish Inn

The bed was a little too soft for my liking. The property was a nice treat with a pond and animals. Would stay here again.

We have stayed twice, and everything was great each time. We love the care taken to make the cottages welcoming. The information provided for arrival along with our stay is very clear and helpful.

I hope they get more ranch hands to help maintain the animals such as grooming. The many many flies were all over the animals. The poor alpacas kept kicking to shake them off. The best part was the brand new jacuzzi.

Could use a new mattress but other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

The cabin was in a quite good condition, some places a bit dirty. The room heater made a lot of noise so it kept us up all night and the hot water wasn't enogh for two people to take hot showers in a cold winter night.

Perfect little cottage for 2. Loved seeing the animals. Quiet location, great get-a-way.

Very clean

Yes room was in good condition. The room advertised 3 could sleep there with only a queen bed. Dogs barking and fire works between 11 pm and 1130.

I was in town visiting my son. We could not spend much time at his dorm, so I was hoping this place would provide us with somewhere to hang out at for several hours and not have to be out and about. There really was not much to keep us busy there. I thought there was a pool table, as it's listed in the pictures, but I guess they got rid of it. I thought maybe there would be someone around to help us be interactive with the animals, but there was no direction there. They were just in their pins. I found the maintenance guy out and he told me I could feed them, and was kind enough to get us some food to feed them with. Our hot tub was underfilled so we didn't use that. He offered to look at it when I told him but we were heading out anyway. They don't have any fishing equipment to use, you have to bring your own. And the room was much smaller than anticipated so we couldn't really hang out in it. My son and I did not spend more than an hour hanging out there. With all that said, it was very peaceful out there. It was clean, my bed was comfortable. It was a charming place. If you aren't looking for it to keep you entertained, it is fine. Or if you have smaller children, they would like it more. The ducks around the pond were really cute. And the fountain in the pond was very relaxing to listen to while sitting on the porch.

Nice secluded cabin. Property was clean and quiet. We were able to relax and enjoy our stay.

Loved it!

Unique property, more like an air bnb then hotel

The owners should have been more clear about there no breakfast the jext morning since most reviews from people said the breakfast was great. The place was overgrown, hasnt been mowed or cleaned up in awhile. Very hard to get owners to respond, and when they did by text very short. Seemed to me like all they cared about was the money coming in, but clearly wasnt using any of it on more staff or to keep the place up. Website said there was a pool table, bar and friendly staff. Which when we got there we were the only ones at almost 530 pm drove to our cabin slowly and literally looked like a scary movie waiting to happen, or like a abandoned place. The bathroom was dirty, toilet wasnt flushed from whoever before. The bed was horrible, i have a bad back, and when i said something today, i got brushed off and was told told they lowered their prices by 40 % and they will look at tv. I pretty muc want a refund, since i paid almost $200 for a room I didnt even pick. I picked a room online and when we went for check in we got a different room, which i picked my room that I wanted for a reason. Kind of ruined my short getaway for my anniversary / birthday and I would like a refund!!

Good place, quiet and clean, good communication, what they should do is change the mattresses.

A dump but fairly clean room

Communication was horrible. Plain dismissive and rude. Never again!

This place has potential. The idea is great. A little run down on the grounds. I did like having our own hot tub and patio. The ducks were fun. But the dog howling or barking all night was a bit to much.

I loved this place! All the animals, a very friendly greeter kitty. super quaint, charming but very nice inside. Highly recommend!

It’s a very quiet and quaint place

.

Only if you are extremely hard of hearing or do not plan on sleeping should consider this property. There are large dogs roaming that bark incessantly. I am typing this at 3am because I can’t sleep a wink over this cacophony. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Easy check in. Clean Room. Unique property.

Very nice and quiet setting. Fun’ bc to see and interact with the animals. Cabin was very clean. Suggest replacing display cabinet in Cabin 4 with small dresser to provide more space for clothes, etc.

So lovely to find a "country hideout" as I don't like franchised hotels. My room was lovely. So nice to have a fridge, microwave, coffee, hot tub, animals, access to hiking trails nearby!

Never knew such a wonderful place exists in DFW area,,, secluded , scenic with very pristine look.. perfect place for a romantic get together..

Very clean and comfortable stay with great communication with host. I got room with private outdoor jacuzzi which was a great a private experience for the family. Everything was clean and all things we needed were provided. Plenty of animals to see on property and I would definitely book again.

Me I was pick Just Sleep inn then go because near by destination here . But, enjoyed stay cottage inside was clean Cute place. Next Morning walk arond Met duck dogs alpaca donky cats 😊stress free to ready to out sightseeing.

Loved the Alpacas and the willingness of the host to take us around to meet the animals. Breakfast was fantastic. Room was lovely with great view of lake and ducks.

My daughter and her husband were married earlier that day at The Grove and they stayed the night in one of the cottages as it was late and they are planning a honeymoon later. They had a lovely time and felt very safe and comfortable. They shared that the owner was super hospitable and found the entire grounds charming. They wished they had more time to explore. Next time!!

Very friendly and hospitable host

It had alpacas and great jokes

Keep it up!!

Very unique place to stay when visiting my daughter at UNT! We both had fun petting the animals, enjoyed peace & quiet and a delicious breakfast. The “alpaca experience” was a nice treat!

Very interesting and unique getaway just on the outskirts of civilization. We used it as a stopover on a longer trip rather than stay in a typical chain hotel. The owners were friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable in our lovely bungalow on their small alpaca farm. The property's small pub was closed due to COVID-19 precautions, but we were able to meet some of the animal residents, enjoy the private hot tub attached to the cottage, and had a nice breakfast delivered. Highly recommended and romantic.

People work in there they are good ,, but the place is very fake compared between the photos on website and the reality ,, I not recommendation ever for anyone else

Enjoyed our visit. Great host, property has nice clean cottages. Hot Tub was nice. Breakfast was delicious.

A great afternoon, evening, and morning of relaxing in a tranquil setting, with a lot of fun stories and animals! Jim was a great host, and a wonderful storyteller! The cottage was cozy and comfortable, and breakfast was amazing. The morning tour of the ranch and feeding the chickens, ducks, and alpacas was a lot of fun. The Great Pyrenees dogs are a treasure!

We had a great breakfast in bed. Food was wonderful, room was great, and staff was very friendly. We are planning to return monthly, just to get away from reality.

Everything it purported to be. Made for a great night away with the wife. Proprietors were friendly and welcoming and the livestock were adorable. Ultimately very quaint, cozy, and straight salt of the earth.

Very outdated. Needs lots of TLC. Storm blew through and took out the electricity. Due to the heat we were unable to stay the night. The pub was opened using candles for light, was not enough reason to stay. We were offered 1/2 off the next time we come. There will not be a next time.

We had a great time staying here. We had everything we needed. The next morning we even got to feed the alpacas, which was a lot of fun! Definitely recommend staying here!

The tiny house was spotless, and the hosts have thought of everything. Loved the alpaca soap! The continental breakfast was quite substantial. We smacked on its contents all day. A very unique getaway and we felt like we were very far away from a large city.

Everything was perfect. Great service, cottages were super cool and the service was top notch. Great getaway, quiet, peaceful and fun wildlife. Alpacas were fun. Soooo much better than any hotel stay.

I'm a business traveler who spent two days at this B&B to escape from the monotony of hotels. What a treat! The cabin was comfortable and well decorated, and I loved the front porch rockers from which I could enjoy the view of the pond and animals. The hosts were lovely people, and the breakfast was one of the best I've had at a B&B. Would highly recommend this facility for a fun and unique experience.

Friendly and campy atmosphere. Surrounded by beautiful Great Pyrenees, alpacas, lamas, ducks, and chickens. Be sure to check out the homey pub!!

Amazing stay !! The inn keepers are so kind and make you feel like family . We also received the breakfast it was amazing highly recommended for a get away

Husband and I went for a nice little night together. We definitely plan on going back. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Cottage was nice and cozy.

A great place for socializing or romantic privacy! The cottage was very comfortable and very clean with plenty of thick fluffy towels and pillows. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast that included fresh eggs from the resident hens. Comfy rocking chairs to sit & enjoy coffee while watching the geese swim in the pond. Our host Jim was truly warm and welcoming. We absolutely loved our stay & we cant wait to come back to this charming getaway!

Everyone should stay here at least incense in their lives and get a kiss from an alpaca!

From the moment we booked at the Old Irish bed and breakfast we knew we were in for a treat. Patrick was hilarious on the phone and even funnier in person. Even though it was 30° out and gloomy, that didnt stop us from enjoying the grounds and the entire stay! From the kissing alpacas and sharing drinks at the inn with Patrick, to the clean and relaxing hot tub the old Irish b&b was one of the most enjoyable and meaningful getaways we had. I highly recommend staying here no matter the occasion, you are always welcomed with love and care and will sure have a memorable experience.

Even though it was 30° out and gloomy that didn’t stop us from enjoying the grounds. From the kissing alpacas and sharing drinks at the inn with Patrick to the hot tub, the old Irish b&b blew our expectations out of the water just in our short stay. I highly recommend staying here no matter the occasion, you are sure to have a memorable experience.

We've stayed in castles in Spain that weren't as engaging as The Old Irish B&B! This is hands down one of the best overnight experiences we've come to know. From the lodging to the staff, nothing was short of excellent. Jim and his 'extended' family of alpaca and great Pyrenees were an absolute treat and always kept us smiling throughout our two-day stay. Breakfast in bed, a personal hot tub, and environmentally friendly in design, I will never hesitate to suggest this place in the future to all friends and family.

Jim and Rita made our long trip from Kansas to Houston and back a very relaxing experience. We stayed 2 nights. The second night was on our return trip from Houston with a young bull and 4 steers that we bedded down for the night in a corral adjacent to the main house. Jim ensured that adequate hay and water was supplied and the animals remained calm the entire night. It made our stay exceptionally relaxing knowing that the animals were safe. We will be returning next time without the cattle.

Jim and Rita are awesome hosts. Our stay was very relaxing. We enjoyed walking around and seeing and petting the alpacas and dogs. The rooms are cozy and the beds were excellent. This is a nice getaway with or without family. Little ones will enjoy all of the animals.

This is an awesome place to get away, relax, and enjoy nature. Very family oriented with all of the dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, lamas, and alpaca. There was even a baby alpaca still nursing when we stayed here. The rooms are nice and the bed was perfect for my tired bones to rest on every evening.

The hosts and animals are super friendly. This place is very close to everything you could want while keeping the country feel. Just do yourself a favor and book today!

Rita and Jim bent over backwards to help make our son's rehearsal dinner a huge success! We are so grateful to them and we loved the cottages which were immaculately clean. Great weekend breakfasts as well!

We got a call from Jim, to discuss when we'd arrive, and what we needed to do when we got there ... and, when we pulled up, there was initially a bit of question for me, but my wife reminded me this was a working alpaca farm, and to wait to see what we were headed into ... and, she was SO right!!! Jim met our vehicle, and escorted us to our room/cabin ... and, Jim was fun and just a pleasure to deal with. The room we had (the Nancee Gee Room) was just wonderful. Very clean, very comfortable, and the private hot tub was real nice. (Note, Jim stated that they were looking to upgrade the hot tubs soon, and we can't wait to return to try the new one.) Jim and Rita were wonderful hosts. Breakfast in bed on Sunday morning was wonderful. The continental breakfast on Monday morning also hit the spot. Was nice to be the only guests on the property on Sunday night, as we roamed around, and Jim showed us some of the uniqueness of the property. That alpaca were fun, and we just loved the dogs (and puppies) that were always there to greet us. (The chickens seemed to want to try to come into the room with us, but ... LOL) Overall, this was a great experience. We are fairly regular to B&Bs, and have tried the more elite to the very basic ... and all in between. And, for amenities and service, Jim and Rita at Old Irish do rate the 5 stars they have overwhelmingly earned. The fact that they are so close to our home, and even closer to our granddaughters ... this will become a regular getaway for my wife and I. -- Allen & Jonita Harris, The Colony, TX

Great place with wonderful staff!!

Wanted a place away for the weekend and got it! Loved the animals and the breakfast in bed! Rita and Jim are a lot of fun and really care about their place. Can't wait to come back!

Great stay. Clean and comfortable with great hosts. Breakfast was always a treat even tho it was continental. Highly recommend

Very nice. Room was excellent! Great location. It is a working farm and does have a farm feel. Continental breakfast was delivered to our door. Very nice.

Was a great break from the monotony of our everyday life. Fun experience to remember for the both of us. Cozy, clean, nice rooms. Llama experience was hilarious and quirky.

This place was absolutely incredible. Jim's hospitality and jokes made the stay incredible with just the right amount of personal attention and privacy. The alpacas are a joy to watch and pet and there was even a new litter of puppies on the ranch! If you are looking for a truly unique experience with great food, lots of laughter, and a little Irish luck, this is the place to go!

A tucked away place not too far from Denton but serene enough for fireflies to gather there at night. The owners were the best hosts we've ever met, and we travel quite a bit, they really pay attention to details. We recommend this place and will go back again! I'm sure Jim has many more jokes to tell.

We had to arrive late and leave early and the owner could not have been more accommodating to us.I wish that we could have been able to spend more time as this was a very relaxing place.

Excellent accommodations, very nice hosts

Jim & Ritta are consummate host. We enjoyed learning about the Apaca's, sharing some scotch in the Irish Pub and relaxing in nature, the private hot tub was a nice touch. The well water is soft. The cottages are very well designed and furnished with everything you can think of. We will be back! S & L

My wife and I had an amazing weekend getaway and were completely blown away by how nice and welcoming the atmosphere was. The animals were great and Denton square is close by, so there's plenty to see and do. Without a doubt I would recommend this place to everyone :)

If you're looking for a great venue or just a weekend to get away (and a few Irish-based laughs), look no further- you've found the best!

I was able to stay here while in the Denton area for business. It was a great escape from the standard hotel chain stays. It was great to unplug and enjoy nature. I would recommend this BandB for a get away from the typical stay.

Just a great place all around. Really enjoyed the unique character and loved the animals. Hot tub was. nice too. The hospitality was outstanding.

This was our first getaway to a B&B! And it was awesome! Jim is so very warm and pleasant! He took his time to welcome and set us up for a great stay! Perfect little getaway for time away with the one you love. The farm is a working farm, however its well maintained no offensive odors and the alpacas are super friendly! Jim went over and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and had a great stay! Rita provided us with a great and filling breakfast on the day of checkout. Already looking forward to our next visit. ~The Fields

My beloved and I chose this as our 'half way' meeting point between Houston and Amarillo, little did we know that we would be in for such a treat. Jim and Rita welcomed us into their spectacular alpaca filled land. We enjoyed a beautiful Denton night in our hot tub while watching fireworks over their private pond. This is such a spectacular venue we are contemplating having our wedding here in the near future.

The host and hostess were very kind and gracious. Made me feel more than welcome. They brought a generous breakfast box the evening before and helped with the shower function. It was my first bed and breakfast experience. I can't say enough good things about the place and two beautiful people there. It's a home away from home and I highly recommend it.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. This was an amazing and unique experience. This place definitely EXCEEDED our expectations. The innkeeper was charming, funny, and made us feel like we were at home. The cottages are clean, spacious, and cozy. You are surround by fenced in llamas, alpacas, dogs, and ducks. All of the animals are friendly. You can touch the animals. There is a pond on the premises. You can fish for catfisth (catch and release). Each cottage has a porch with rocking chairs, and an outside fan. My husband and I sat on the porch, rocking in the rocking chairs, and listening to jazz when we got back that night. It was lovely. I can't wait to go back!!!

Jim was so hospitable, funny, and welcoming. We had such a great time and breakfast in bed the next morning was delicious! We would love to come back again sometime and would recommend to anybody looking for a fantastic getaway.

A very serene getaway. An awesome place to unwind and unplug. Can be as private or as interactive as you want. Jim and Rita are amazing hosts. They are experts in making one feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. Loved the Alpaca experience and meeting all the pets. Will definitely be going back.

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay. If we needed anything the staff was on it. The owners Jim & Ritia are some of the most wonderful people I know. We enjoyed our private hot tub & relaxing in the swing next to the pond. We will be back for sure.

So beautiful and relaxing! Jim was so kind and hospitable to us. I wish we had booked more nights to stay there but we will definitely be back in the future! Thank you so much from your fellow Spokanowen!

My wife and I had an excellence here while visiting Dallas. The breakfast was great and Jim entertained us while we ate. The rooms were cozy, clean, and the mattress was VERY comfortable. My wife loved the Alpaca Experience and it is definitely a must if you are staying here. The animals were very friendly and cuddly. We definitely recommend this place if you are visiting the area.

Our innkeepers Jim and Rita went out of their way to show us a good time. We tried fishing their lake, kissing a Llama and listening to an Irish joke or two over a sumptuous breakfast. So much fun to be truly in another world!

We just spent 3 nights at the Old Irish BnB and had a wonderful time! It was relaxing and peaceful! Jim and Rita are so very hospitable, they make you feel right at home!

Wanted to get away and celebrate our 47th Anniversary. Could not have found a better place. I could not find anything that did not exceed our expectations. If you are looking for a wonderful place to get away, relax, and enjoy life this is the place.

Was a rainy cold day unfortunately but they did everything possible to make our stay a pleasant one including upgrading our room to one with a hot tub. Very pleasant place with some farm animals and a few small ponds. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick get away.

Will be our go to place for a night/weekend away. We recommend to anyone, and have gotten gift certificates for friends.

This is a charming place to visit. The cottage was clean and cozy. Breakfast was a meal in the refrigerator. The grounds are fun to enjoy and the host was friendly and fun.

The amount of attention we got was not even close to being intrusive, they checked on us when we were available and made sure our stay had everything we needed. The Alpaca experience was so much more than i thought it would be, We got to feed and even hug the Alpacas The experience was even better due to the knowledge of the Inn Keepers, Jim and Rita, which they shared with a passion that made you know they love what they do. I am going to be sharing the video i took of the Alpaca experience with Jim and Rita so they could post on the site along with the MANY PICTURES I took during our stay. I have to give a 5 star rating only because it goes no higher. You would never know that the owners have full time jobs on top of the B&B that they run because of the amount of attention and care they put into the place. We are already looking to book our next stay there in the beginning of next year and plan to make this a yearly visit for us. I have 3 regrets from this stay we had and will share them with you so you do not make the same mistakes. 1. The stay we booked was for checking in Friday evening and checking out Monday morning. The stay was great but not even close to long enough!!! 2 more nights would have gave the relaxation time to set in and be so much more enjoyable. 2. I did not bring my fishing rod to enjoy the catch and release 3.to many characters

really nice cabins, I was afraid it would be a bit small for us and our 18 years old daughter, but it was perfect. Great for animal lovers, with the alpacas and the lovely dogs on the property

Breakfast was huge and fresh and arrived the night before. Comfortable pretty bed and furnishings.

Our cottage, the Carenna, was snug and cozy with an incredible mattress on our four poster bed, an attached private side porch and a private hot tub. Irish and natural touches abound, coffee is right in the room (and its GOOD coffee) and Alpaca shaped spearmint soap engaged the senses during a hot shower. We got up early (we have young children, it was inevitable, even without them being there) and I took a relaxing soak in the hot tub while my husband caught four catfish that ranged from 8-15 pounds on the dock. Did I mention breakfast in bed? Or on the porch? Or anywhere you want to have it? I am a vegetarian. My husband is not. Our gorgeous wooden breakfast trays arrived looking exactly the same. Forget about a guest being a vegetarian? Ar ndóigh, ní ! Of course not! Soy bacon and sausage for me, meat version for my husband, with scrambled eggs, Irish breakfast potatoes, raspberries, strawberries, special banana (amazing), cherry pastry and, since its Fall, petit pumpkin cakes in an incredible icing with streusel on top. And orange juice. And, of course, that coffee. Next up, the Alpaca experience. We heard about the evolution of the alpaca while sitting at a picnic table next to a fenced off area where Valentino, the alpaca that kisses the ladies on the cheek (its a nice, soft, dry kiss) eyed us. Then we got right into the fenced off areas where these beauties ate directly out of our cupped hands. We did it again with the babies. Their tongues swept our palms and then the babies decided we should cuddle. Maybe they knew it was our anniversary.

We had a wonderful time at this B&B. Jim, the host, was amazing making you feel right at home.The jokes and welcome drinks start the evening off and the hot tub an nice way to relax. The alpacas were very friendly and posed for many a picture. We will certainly stay again when in the area. The bed was so comfy...

Mario & Krista.

We loved our stay with all the alpaca's. Jim is the perfect host and the morning breakfast is more the generous. The cottage is well set out and the porch lovely to sit out on with the pond and fountain to sooth the soul. We certainly will return when in the area.

This is a wonderfully peaceful place to visit with your own cabins. The staff is fantastic and every morning there's an excellent breakfast waiting up at the main building. If your looking for something more private and relaxing but still the price of a local hotel this is your place.

Although this is a working farm, there are no unpleasant smells or sounds. It's very relaxing and enjoyable. Although you are less than 10 minutes away from great shopping and food, you feel like you are out in the country with no worries. Basically, all the advantages of a remote location without any of the disadvantages. Jim provides excellent free wifi for his guests. We had a great experience and want to go back there on our next anniversary. I recommend this as a wonderful place to have a fun, relaxing, romantic getaway.

Jim tells great jokes and the Alpaca experience is not to be missed. The alpacas are fun and softer than you would think. My husband and I weren't sure what to expect as this was our first visit to a BandB but it was far beyond anything we could have anticipated. We plan on returning for our anniversary. I highly recommend this place as a fantastic romantic getaway.

My customer asked me to come down for a couple of days to help them out. I was not looking forward to staying at yet another chain hotel, eating processed eggs and sausage. Whenever I travel, I like to see if there are any B&Bs near where I will be working. With the luck of the Irish at my back, I found the Old Irish B&B and it was closer to the customer than any of the hotels!! This is not your typical B&B where all the guests stay in the same house. We all get our own 'little' house to stay in. I also liked the breakfast basket as I needed to be at the customer fairly early and did not have the time for a sit down breakfast. Jim and Rita are cognizant of the weekday guest's needs as well as the weekend guest where it is more relaxed. The cottage is clean and comfortable. The bed was also comfortable. It sure beats a hotel room! The good news is that my customer is asking me to come back and I will definitely stay here again!!! woohoo.

the inn keeper was great and had a great time for our anniversary.

Awesome little getaway. Clean and fun environment.
