Ah now, a multi millionaire who's already owns hotels if I'm not mistaken and he's on this? Only for advertisement.

I was going to post that too!

I don't think it's bad at all.

They seem like a nice couple, the decor is awful but there is a homely feel to the place and I'd say that you get a good breakfast in that B&B!

There are a huge number of vacant holiday homes in Courtown and the surrounding area, and falling visitor numbers. There isn't much potential for old Guesthouses.

John Brennan was on the money saying it might not be worth spending a lot to chase a diminishing market.

(Although that wouldn't really make for much of a programme)

A nice bright red door would have livened the exterior up.

Just needs a big update, looks like a nice spot once its updated a bit. Its the colours that kill it , and the old style floral pattern bedclothes

I just LOVE this show...think Francis is a hoot!

Went to Courtown alot as a kid - shame to see it losing so much business..hopefully they'll get more business this summer:)

amdublin

Ooooh! The door and the colour of the house looks great!

JonathanAnon

You can tell Margaret genuinely likes Francis.. big hug for him ..

JonathanAnon

Haha.. did ye REALLY have to drive all the way back to Kenmare to have yere discussion lads..

Lady Chatterton

I like this couple alot.

Skid

Is the helter skelter still in Courtown? I still have scars from some yoke crashing into me feet up at the bottom :mad:

Skid

This is turning into 'Dirty Old Towns'

amdublin

The room they were in looked great with the painted mantlepiece.

Lisha

You gotta love Francis...'Is feidir linn':D

twirlagig

What a difference taking down those signs makes!

Skid

They have done a nice job on The Guesthouse, it looks well.

Lady Chatterton

It's looking fabulous.

amdublin

Beautiful!

Those shutters are FANTASTIC!

twirlagig

Hope they do well - the place looks fab! Nice people! Good Luck to them!

Lisha

Fair play to them all, that designer did some job on updating decor

twirlagig

Ha ha! Francis is just brilliant!

Lady Chatterton

I'd love to know what the budget was for doing up the house.

Edit : €37,000

twirlagig

€30,000 - but they went over that.

Fittle

I just tried to look at the Harbour House website coz was thinking I might go down for a night this summer - and their website is down! I'm guessing alot of people had the same idea as me:D

amdublin

They need to update their website to show the new rooms and not the old pink ones!!!!!
:eek:

JonathanAnon

I'm gonna ring the coastguard and tell them I saw a shark off the coast of Courtown .. see what happens their 15% then.. :pac:

Jonathan you bowsie!

I'm defo heading back to courtown this summer - even if only for an overnighter - I've great memories of staying there years ago but it's somewhere I wouldn't have thought of returning to - but after that show, it's a must:D

I agree Amdublin

Their website is really disappointing, it is in serious need of a revamp too. They should have updated it, they would have known that people would log to have look during or after the show.

amdublin

Yeah really really surprising mrsD

JONJO THE MISER

Should this thread not be on the reality t.v forum or am i missing something?

Diddler1977

Francis on the zip line was hilarious. He screamed like a girl!

Loved the shutters!

The place was spotless. I hope they do well after the changes.

twirlagig

Tonight John & Francis Brennan visit The Strand Inn, Dunmore East, to help a brother and sister duo with their business.

JonathanAnon

He was on with Mooney during the week Twirly, said that a room in Kenmare had cost €606 :eek::eek: in the good times, but that now they were doing a "special" room rate of €285

Moved to Reality TV.

Agree. I'd say it'll be lovely when they're finished with it.

JonathanAnon

The rusty signage and wiring make the place look really cheap... She's quite an attractive woman...

Diddler1977

Some good tips for them.....

twirlagig

I've never had the pleasure of visiting Dunmore East, looks like a nice spot.

JONJO THE MISER

Bar outside, great idea.

Diddler1977

I don't know about the outdoor bar......

Lot of money though I'd say! :eek: More luck to them - every week I watch this I want to go pay all the places a visit!

JONJO THE MISER

Would not mind going on the piss down there, looks beautiful.
