Goggins Cottage was amazing. It is beautifully maintained and a joy to look at. The local area was lovely with everything in full bloom. We lay in bed each morning with the window open listening to the bird song. The local people were so friendly with many great stories about Jack Goggins. Many thanks also to Maureen for her hospitality and lovely brown bread.
if you need to get away from it all and listen to quietness , nature , and still ness but yet enjoy and marinate yourself in the enjoyment of life , this is the place to go , We are a group of 10 that have been coming here for the past 4 years and each year it gets better , we take the time to go for walks and chat over a glass of wine and slow time down completely , its well worth the visit to do these things to jump off the treadmill of city life and chill
Staying at the Galley Head was incredible, the property is super comfortable and clean, really cozy too. The location is amazing, with the house looking out on the cliffs and the sea. The weather was really foggy one day and sunny the other, but the location was just equally magical. Gerry & Marie welcome us on our arrival and came to say goodbye when we left and it was absolutely lovely to meet them! It was great to discover such a committed and caring reality in Ireland, really inspiring work that the Trust is carrying on.
The house and the Fort was fabulous, but unfortunately the upkeep on the outside was very poor,ie weeds growing everywhere. We were not greeted on our arrival by our house manager, keys left with guides at the entrance, so nobody showed us the property on arrival. Our house manager showed up on our departure to collect the keys. S
We LOVED our four nights at Killee Cottage. It is beautifully maintained, very, very comfortable, has an extremely well-stocked kitchen, and is in a wonderful location if you want to really get away. We took long walks, explored historic markers and churches, read at the picnic table in the back yard and totally relaxed. [The only reason I gave 'Condition' a 4 is that the cold water tap in the bathroom didn't work, but I expect it's already been fixed.]
Our family of 6 stayed in both homes and it worked out perfectly…proximity yet privacy. Great location easily walkable to central Cork. Beds were comfy and inviting, bathrooms were spacious and bright, plenty of hot water and wonderful water pressure. Sitting rooms and kitchens were thoughtfully decorated. Any staples we needed were available with lots of thoughtful extras (drying rack, etc.)
What fun! My son and I had the opportunity to spend two nights in this historic lighthouse! The accommodations were comfortable and charming, and the setting was out of this world! We did a lot of hiking on the peninsula where the lighthouse is located, which was completely private. Quite literally, we saw maybe two other people during all of our walks. The lighthouse is also conveniently located too many interesting day hikes. The views in all directions are nearly endless.
Beautiful location, comfortable and clean accomodation, friendly service by manager, woukd recommend.
What a lovely treat to arrive into the schoolhouse in Annaghmore. Only regret is that we didn’t spend more time there as we were travelling with our friends from Oz and were busy discovering lovely Sligo Location is excellent for this. Tranquil , accessible, everything supplied. A lovely trip. I was recommending it to a few friends and one told me her great grandfather had been head gardener in the estate; when he died young his wife and children lived in the schoolhouse because by then a National School had been built and children were no longer allowed attend school on a Protestant estate...more
Gatehouse is a charming building, beautifully located near the river, furnished with taste and excellently managed by Maro who provided us with really valuable advice.
Merrion Mews is a one-of-a-kind place that reflects all the wonder and timeless beauty of Ireland. From its musty horse stalls in the lower level to the skylights that provide natural light to the rooms, it's an unforgettable piece of living history. It has no TV, you can only reach it by a narrow, winding staircase, and there's nothing modern about it. But it is warm, cozy and utterly charming. It is located in the heart of Dublin, just a stone's throw from the government offices of the Taoiseach, and within easy walking distance of many pubs, parks and Grafton Street. There's even a private ...more
We had a wonderful stay at Galley Head. It was a privilege to stay in a house like this. The location is unique at the edge of the cliffs.The house is very comfortable no tv no WiFi which was also a blessing but good phone coverage. Gail was terrific, gave us the history of the house and lots of tips on where to eat and what to do in the area. Would highly recommend and thank you Gail for everything.
We loved our stay at railway cottage. The gardens and cottage were beautiful and the setting was incredibly quite a relaxing. It’s just a short walk about 30 minutes from town to go to the pub. We will definitely be staying again.
Lands end in County Clare. The 19th century lighthouse keeper’s home with mod cons is a great place to chill out. It’s tastefully appointed, with marvelous views of the mouth of the Shannon and Atlantic Ocean. The house is ideal for families able to survive without TV and internet. The furnishings are in keeping with the era, as is the decor, but prepare yourself for closets that don’t completely close and sometimes funky drawers. Manager Mary Geaney is a wonderful host and full of good ideas about sights and activities in the area. There’s a cafe with very helpful staff a few steps away that ...more
Had a great stay here and a very warm welcome by our fabulous host Breda who gave us some usefull information on walks etc on the area. The lodge had everything we needed with great walks around the castletown estate . This gothic lodge is very atmospheric and well recommended for a stay
We had a truly special stay at this beautifully preserved old lighthouse. The accommodation is full of character and charm — the bedrooms were absolutely pristine, like something out of a fairytale. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience, perfect for couples or a small family looking for something memorable. Be aware that there are quite a few stairs, so it’s not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen is located at the very top of the lighthouse, and while it’s a great spot for views, the water pressure up there isn’t the best — probably best to plan light meals rather than anything...more
Loved our stay in this sensitively restored 18th century house.Very comfortable beds and sitting areas ,kitchen facilities could be upgraded for ‘eating in “as nearby restaurants a distance away. Glorious beach and local pub within walking distance.
I stayed two nights and what I love most is the view from the windows...first of the small town and then of the lovely meadow-gardens of Castletown. And of course the reflective furniture and fittings in the old cottage...and yet with every modern day appliance for a comforting stay.
An utterly relaxing haven of peace and birdsong with a secure garden for the dog to sniff around in and all comforts. Theresa made us feel very welcome and gave us loads of information about the area, which was amply complemented by the material in the castle. The range of books was fantastic too - the only difficulty being that with just two nights we didn't have time to read them. We had trips out to Doneraile Park and Bridgetown Priory, as well as a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary on the way home to Galway. There's nothing that I wouldn't recommend, but the best thing was just enjoying the ca...more
Used the property for a coming together of our dispersed family. Great time. Just perfect for us (five adults). Nice to walk straight out into the estate grounds for walks. Really enjoyed it. All was smooth and property very warm. Highly recommended.
