    Those printing kiosks in most shopping centres could've done the job a lot better!

    Unbelievable.

    You could get some adequate cards for next to nothing.

    Very poor.

    They could have at least cut the pieces of paper in a straight line, not all jagged edges!

    This couple are seriously lacking in confidence, it is a shame as they have a beautiful home and it has so much potential.

    It is a beautiful house, but you fear for them, they have no idea what they are getting into.

    I could be wrong but a woman that looked kind of like
    Darina Allen was in that group that came to look at the house earlier. Although surely they would have pointed her out so I'm probably mistaken

    I think that this couple might be better suited to making restoration programmes, something along the same lines as Kevin McCloud's "Grand Designs".

    John is the Brains of the Brothers, very shrewd guy.

    Although Francis is a terrific salesman and 'people person'

    The website is being handled by a professional, the business cards/literature are being handled by a professional - why were they using these as excuses when they wouldn't have even been involved with them?:rolleyes:

    Anyway, rant over! :D

    I think you are right, their real passion was the restoration of the house rather than the desire to have guests in it.

    At least this show will be a good advert for the place, looks like a lovely place for a break.

    I don't care what anyone says, we have some of the best accommodation in the world in this country. I know it can be a bit dearer but the standard of most places is really high. That house is fab, as are most places in Ireland's Blue Book that someone mentioned earlier.

    If anyone from Kilmahon House reads this, the Facebook link on the front page of your website is dead.

    Just trying to help :)

    I agree with most of the above opinions. I don't think they are going to bet the business up and running for some time. - if ever. the house is stunning and they are a lovely couple and dog, but they have had a lot to contend with. Wishing them all the best, whatever they do!

    BTW - I love Francis! He really is hilarious! He and his brother are a great team. Very entertaining!

    This week sees John & Francis paying a visit to 'The Brosna Lodge' in Banagher, Co. Offaly, where owners Pat & Della Horan see the Brennan brothers do their magic.... Actually, I am really looking forward to this one (last episode in the series), as I've been there and I know, although not closely, the owners. :)

    It's on. Love this show.

    Place looks manky. Hopefully the brothers sort it out.
