We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay in this beautifully restored Irish thatched cottage. We wished we could have stayed longer as the cottage was cosy, clean, warm and relaxing. We enjoyed trips to Adare and we also enjoyed a lovely meal in the Bucket restaurant. The cottage was very authentic and transported us back in time. Well done to the Irish Landmark Trust for this wonderful restoration and preserving this beautiful thatched Irish cottage for people to enjoy! Thank you also to Maureen for her helpful recommendations and a lovely clean cottage.
The house is an excellent base for a reunion in the Clare countryside. Quiet and isolated but easy to access the local area. In some ways it is a house of two halves, the lounge and dining room are yesteryear comfort, whilst the kitchen is good modern living. As with any house, minor things show wear and tear. The WiFi and phone signal becomes a bit of a joke, in that it's slow and unreliable but usually adequate for holidays. The proliferation of electric fences was a problem for our dog who got shocked twice and didn't want to walk around after that. The house manager does a good job and is...more
What a wonderful piece of history to wake up to and one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. The caretaker had grown up on the property and gave us a tour and history of the lighthouse. The lighthouse seems a bit out of the way. This also means that the sites you do visit won't be crowded. I would encourage one to investigate the beaches, hiking trails (castlefreke), stone circle and other megalithic structures nearby. The small towns nearby have fantastic restaurants as well.
We had a great stay in this lovely house, the house if lovely, very clean and in a great location, my mother grew up in this house and my grandparents lived there for 23 years, so it is a very special house to my family. Geraldine and the landmark trust are fantastic to deal with, I highly recommend staying in the house !
The Parade House was perfect for our short visit to Cork. We were close enough to walk most places. Additionally the place was spotless and was so nice to have the kitchen and laundry. Geraldine was responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. Overall outstanding!
Well maintained and equipped cottage in a stunning location in the west of Ireland. Lots of wildlife to be seen in the immediate vicinity of the lighthouse as well as walks to be enjoyed.
so nice weather and it is so quiet in the evening. We saw whales and the house is so comfortable. We will come back.
Lovely Property and very comfortable, easy to find and with so much that can be seen and done around the area we will definitely be back.
A wonderful and perfect place to stay. Great location and very peaceful. Such a shame about the soft mattress on the bed.
We celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary and my retirement in this beautiful, perfectly proportioned gate lodge. A wonderful setting, tastefully decorated and with everything you need for a short visit to Lismore, Cappoquin and Villierstown. Maro Kingston greeted us warmly, showed us the ropes and recommended local sights and amenities. It was a wonderful break and opportunity to gain perspective after passing a few of life’s milestones.
We had a great stay at Galley Head. The house, gardens and lighthouse are amazing and packed with interesting things to see, read and experience. The host (Gail) was very friendly, helpful, informative and facilitative making us most welcome. She also gave us lots of useful tips and guides for exploring the beautiful locality. The weather also was specular so that helped greatly.
Merrion Mews is a charming building, full of character and history. The location is perfect, close to St. Stephen's Green, Merrion Square, Trinity College and many other sights. Plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs nearby. And despite the city centre location, it's amazingly peaceful and quiet.
Cute railway cottage, well maintained both inside and out. Great to see a peace of local history preserved. The railway museum in donegal town is worth a visit as it links nicely in with this cottage. Donegal town has lots to offer, food, shops and nice bars. Highly recommend this place. A means of transportation is worth while although for those into walking the town is only a 20 - 25min walk.
From Sandhausen they traveled with glee, to Loop Head, by the wide Irish sea. At the lighthouse they found, such delight all around, and as happy as two could they be. ... we love to come again!
Really quirky and lovely, the stairs are very safe. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere yet 5 drive to Wicklow town.
Very helpful host who provided great information on activities to do locally. Lovely walk from the door to bars and restaurants in village.
My family and dog really loved staying in this amazing house. The location is superb and the views are different from each window and all epic, for example Errigal poking up in the distance at sunrise from the kitchen, The wild Atlantic crashing during a stormy night observed form the safety of our bedroom.. We were really sad to leave. It’s a great idea to reinstate these old houses to their original grandeur but with central heating. We will remember our trip for a long time and we will be back.
Smashing 2nd stay in Castletown Gate House, Celbridge. Beautifully redecorated since our last stay and it was smelling lovely of fresh paint & comfort ! Location is fantastic, at the top of the Town, hugely accessible and only steps from the Main Street. We both loved it & can't wait till our next stay there!! Thank You to Hostess Lorraine & Hubby- very welcoming and knowledgeable.
The accommodation was charming if a little quaint. The log burner provided welcome extra warmth to an autumnal evening.
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.
