We were lucky enough to stay at the head gardeners house in Foto. One of the best highlights was waking to the sounds of monkeys and other animals in Foto Park. The house was large and spacious and perfect for our short trip away. We had amazing weather so got to use the deckchairs outside and chase the sun in the evening. He house was cosy and well equipped. Jackie was welcoming and informative. Very highly recommended.
Loved our stay at the cottage. Maureen who met us was lovely and happy to give any local information and places to eat. Cottage very clean and comfortable. Great location and would recommend visiting the flying boat museum in Foynes. Limerick City or Adare only 20 minutes away. Supermarket only 10 minutes away if you needed anything. Also enjoyed the Bromore Cliff walk. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing escape.
Our second visit to Inchiquin House and it was even better than the last visit, where we returned to celebrate our mother's 91st birthday. What a fabulous house and great location, being so close to the Burren, where we enjoyed a beautiful walk, identifying all the summer flowers. The weather was amazing too. Inchiquin House is so comfortable and warm, and the kitchen is so well equipped for cooking delicious meals! We'll definitely be back!
Couple of housekeeping items: it’s an historic house, so it’s not a luxurious 5-star stay. It’s remote and there are two locked gates you have to pass through to get there. But the kitchen has what you need and the bed was comfortable. Once you know these basics, it was just a really interesting trip. The history of it is already fascinating, but it was enhanced by Gerald and Maria. Gerald is a retired lightkeeper so he was able to tell us tales from his career and bring the experience to life. We hiked the area and ate at the Fish Basket, which was excellent. We actually had good weather, but...more
This is a really nice and quirky place to stay. Right in the city centre and also within the walls of Elizabeth Fort, which gives a great sense of the historic heart of Cork city. The house is very comfortable and beautifully kept. We would go there again.
The three of us felt immediately at home in this very lovely decorated house. Staying on the grounds of a fort is unique and we could reach everything of interest in cork city on foot. The place is very quiet during the night. A big thank you to Geraldine for everything. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation.
There’s nowhere on earth like this quiet, unspoilt place. A great place to relax and unwind - walk, take photos, read, listen to music. You can completely reset yourself. The house is beautiful and very comfy.
A haven at the edge of the world, a unique place of outstanding natural beauty and a place that truly feeds the soul.
We loved our stay at Killee Cottage! Theresa was very welcoming and always just a call away. We were in awe of the beauty of the place. All the little details in the house made it so special and were the aesthetic that we had imagined in the cottage. My husband and I always take a looong time to find special accommodations that feel magical and fitting to us and it didn’t disappoint in any way. Reading, knitting and baking in there was a dream come true for me. It was also nice to read in the guest book who was there before us!
Fantistic little property, beautifully cared for by the caretaker (Lorraine) who also made us so welcome. A great base from which to explore, though sadly the proximity to a busy, fast-moving road prevented us from having windows open or being able to enjoy the garden (which also was not dog-proof). I would recommend this property for a short, touring break, but not for someone seeking tranquility.
Gail gave us a potted history of the lighthouse on arrival and an understanding from her family connection as to how it was to have lived there She also gave us recommendations of places to visit This truly is a unique opportunity to stay in a comfortable and dramatic location and feel like you were continuing the keeper’s watch
We stayed for 2 days in July, it was a little to remote for us, however if getting away from it all is your thing it is very peaceful.
It is the best and authentic stay in dublin. We love everything about Merrion Mews :-) The landlords are very helpful and the cleanliness is exceptionally good. It's quiet and the rooms are simply nostalgic, charmed and authentic.Furthermore, the apartment is super central and not far from the city center.
Things to consider: Very small 4ft bed, difficult sleeping two. Oven is very old and dated. Fireplace is difficult to work due to shape and smoke drifts back into the house. Bath is not good if you like showers. No extra linens or towels. Heating system is hard to work (no thermostat). Car parking space is very small and tight to turn in. No freezer. Radio needs updated.
Beautiful property in stunning location. Only downside is poor bathroom facilities....lavatory seat broken, shower poor & no bath.
Amazing....Reagan so nice....enjoy sitting in the living room. Castletown IS a must...tour guide awesome....try to do the 2 different tours the house and the art tour. Village inn an incredible meal...all within a beautiful 30 minute walk...dont drive!!
Ahhh...DO the cliff walk..it is Moderately Tough! Walk to car park....takes 2 to 3 hours with stopping to smell the wild flower... can walk back home about 35 min walk
The house was exactly as described when we booked. The location is wonderful with great views. The house was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We had some lovely walks from the house. Fabulous weather was a real bonus. We loved watching an otter on the beach in front of the property plus had excellent views of a great northern diver in the bay, as well as whimbrel and other birds. We struggled with the shower on day one, but once we got the settings right it was fine and just a case of pressing the on button. We lit the fire every evening having bought some more logs which was much...more
The gate house is a very snug little dwelling. Staying there gives one a flavour of what life might have been like in the service and shadow of the Great House. Its location on the outskirts of Dublin gave us a chance to pause en route from the West back to Dublin airport without having to negotiate the city. The well tended garden is an extra bonus.
Everything was amazing in our stay. I suggest going there for relaxing days. Theresa, the manager, is attentive and kindness. Un unforgettable time soaked in history.
Everything was nice and clean, and access was easy - but next time please heat up the house properly and several hours before arrival!
