Superb restoration of a cottage full of character. We have stayed in sixteen ILT properties and this is arguably the best! Our congratulations to the Irish Landmark Trust for this work. The Housekeeper was very helpful and friendly. Tiny criticisms: the level of lighting in the living room was very dim, and the sofa was a bit uncomfortable for a shorter person...
The stay was excellent. Wonderful house in a spectacular location. Debbie was a great host and made the whole stay so enjoyable. We will be back.
Was pretty cool to be letting ourselves into an empty fort at night after having a pint at the pub right outside! Host was very flexible with our arrival time changing as we drove from Dublin with stops. Parking is dicey, we found right outside later at night but tougher during the day. Purchased breakfast food at the shop across the street and plenty of great places to walk to at night. The Old Town Whiskey Bar was fun, and if they don’t have live music they have other pubs close with someone with local music to enjoy. Also enjoyed the English market close by. Budget a bit of time to be...more
This was a beautiful property and the 3 of us agreed that we would have liked more time to enjoy it.
After traveling for two weeks along the spectacular west coast of Ireland, busily seeing the sights and taking in all the natural beauty, we needed a place to settle down for a while. Kille Cottage was the perfect place to rest! Located in the middle of Irish dairy country with lovely green pastures with thousands of dairy cows peacefully grazing, with nary a tourist bus, the only sound you hear is an occasional moo! Even though Killee Cottage is located along a quiet country road, it is only 6 kms from the bustling town of Mitchelstown, with a variety of grocery stores, local library and grea...more
It was such an amazing break, fantastic location. There are so few places you can have the space for a complete break from everyone and everything - bliss
We loved our stay at the Parade House. It’s located in the heart of the city in an amazing historic fort. We were hoping for a unique stay and the Parade House delivered. Geraldine was responsive to our questions and while we never met her in person, felt fully supported in our stay. The guides at the fort, especially Olivan, and the lovely owner of TWOMEYS shop across the road were also helpful and informative. Finally, while it costs a few euro more than we Were hoping to spend, it was well worth it and we are happy to know that our contribution is helping to protect and restore th...more
My husband & I had a fantastic two days… what a place! Gerard couldn’t have been more helpful. A superb location… we’ll definitely be back. Thanks.
Our stay at the schoolhouse was wonderful. It has so much character, and in beautiful quiet surroundings. We loved the autumnal walks in the area and the beach strolls were just a short distance away. My dad is a retired teacher, and when young he was in a similar enough type of school building, and where the pupils had to bring in turf with them.
We had a lovely short stay in Salterbridge. House was warm and spotlessly clean. Maro was very helpful. West Waterford is an excellent base for visiting Lismore, Youghal and Dungarvan. Plus plenty of walking opportunities in Glenshelane Woods and Knockmealdowns.
Merrion Mews was an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home with the beautifully designed interiors. The bedrooms were spacious and super comfortable, and we were especially impressed by the bathrooms—the bathtub and skylight brought in such lovely light and made it feel like a little retreat. The cozy fireplace was perfect for winding down in the evenings, and the location couldn’t have been better—peaceful but just steps away from the best of Dublin. Arron, the house manager, was fantastic and quick to respond to every question we had, which made everything even eas...more
Best place to get away from everyone and everything, with all the comforts of home. But only 20mins drive from shops, restaurants etc when needed. Stayed the end of October, next time we stay it will be middle of summer with more day light to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
We all found the Lightkeepers House extremely cosy and comfortable. Mary was so welcoming and helpful. The house is wonderfully restored and very spacious and we had the best weekend there! We would all highly recommend a stay there and look forward to returning sometime in the not too distant future!
The host was very accommodating and easy to deal with. The cottage itself was beautiful and had a lot of charm. Well kepy, clean and well equipped for a great stay.
Very pleasant visit, beautiful environment, warm reception of the house manager and fantastic book with a lot of information concerning groceries, possible activities,...
This was our third stay in the last couple of years and it didn't disappoint. The walks are fantastic and it's proximity to Celbridge village is excellent. It was amazing staying there during the storm. We will definitely be back a fourth time.
Another wonderful stay in an Irish Landmark Trust property. Beautiful location and property, comfortable, warm and cosy. An excellent break away from it all, and the lack of screens added greatly to a relaxing stay.
This place just exudes magic! All the touches like castle windows, the stone spiral staircase, the vaulted bedroom ceiling, the antiques, stone fireplace with stonecutters initials, made this truly live up to its description of being a miniature castle. Theresa was an incredible host, so warm and welcoming that I felt right at home immediately. Everything was immaculately clean. I would definitely stay here again.
All good, convenient location to Celbridge walking and Dublin by bus. Bus stop a few steps from our front door. Peaceful, quiet and perfect spot to call home base for a visit to county Kildare and Dublin. Plenty of places to eat, short walk to large food market and great butcher shop. All in all a great place and stay. We will be back again God willing.
Castletown Round House was an ideal venue for our group of five. Despite some very minor concerns about the situation of the bathrooms the reality was that all worked perfectly well. The opportunity to stay in a place that is so well presented was great. The period features and furniture capture some of the life and times of Irish people in the past. The town of Celbridge contains all that one could need or want. I highly recommend staying at the Round House.
