Larry is a very friendly host. Lovely cooked breakfast provided. This is the third time myself and family have stayed here and it has consistently been a pleasant, clean and quiet place to stay, in a picturesque location. It is especially convenient if travelling from the Republic up to Belfast, which is only 1hr15 minutes drive onwards. Keady itself is a pretty small town and Armagh is only around 20 minutes away.

Absolutely 10 out of 10. I have booked several rooms for my wedding at nearby Basil Sheils and it's been a lot of changes from my side, different numbers of attendees, arrival changes etc etc. Larry couldn't have been more helpful to accommodate my guests. I've had rave reviews from my guests regarding the accomodation and it has made a stressful time so, so much easier for me. I couldn't be more grateful to Dundrum House for all of their help and support. I highly recommend.

This is the most friendly, immaculate BB in Co Armagh and beyond. Breakfast is amazing, bedrooms clean and comfortable and being in the countryside it is lovely atmosphere. Add to that the hosts willing to go that extra mile on everything. I highly recommend Dundrum House and I can't wait to return to it.

Very lovely place right in the beautiful country side of North Ireland. It's super quiet, specially in the night! The hosts are super nice and entertaining (in a good kind of way). The host is well informed about the history of Ireland and North Ireland and the surrounding area. The house is an old building but nicely renovated recently it seems (if you like old buildings and furniture you will love this for sure). Rooms are very tidy and clean. The hosts are flexible with timing of the breakfast as well (we took ours at 10:30 :D). The surrounding Area is perfect for an early morning walk. All
