Family Ireland Trip

Location was perfect to be away from the cities yet close enough to get to shopping & food. Plenty of attractions & hiking within short drives. Facility has all needs covered with beds to cover all. Highly recommend it to those not interested in city/hotel type lodging

Very Happy and a lovely base to explore from.

Cottage is lovely and easy to find the local village is walkable and has everything you would want with shops and great restaurants (reasonable prices too) the only small thing we would suggest they improve is the lighting in the kitchen which is really insufficient if you want to cook in the evening.

Perfect with kids

This house is set up perfectly for adults traveling with their school aged kids. Separate lounges with multiple doors in between allow for privacy and quiet. The only slight discomfort is the heat pump/sump pump that runs often but at uneven intervals. You soon learn to tune it out, but it can be distracting at first. Beautiful and comfortable home.

Nice location. Very narrow road to property. As it is a 10 person let a four piece toaster would be helpful. Problems with door to dishwasher. But overall a nice property

Everything we hoped it would be for our first stop in Ireland

Very sad to have checked out of this property. The owners were amazingly flexible giving us a lunchtime check in, after our ferry arrived in Rosslare at 4am. The garden was super dog friendly and secure, lots of space for running around and playing. Our dog is sadder than us to have left. The house itself is very comfortable. We loved spending time in the open plan kitchen and the little snug. Great hot water and shower pressure after long days hiking in Connemara national park. Everything was pretty much perfect for us.
