We were here with our young children plus our friends with their young children. We would absolutely stay here again.
We loved our stay. Such a beautiful restoration. A cosy cottage in a lovely quiet place. Would recommend it highly.
A beautiful spot and a real sense of being steeped in history whilst staying in this quaint cottage. Super to have the fort to explore as well and the lovely little museum on site, so many interesting stories from the time when it was a women's prison. Very central, easy to walk everywhere, a visit to Nano Nagle's Place nearby is a must- we enjoyed a superb brunch in the Good Day Deli and another interesting museum visit which tells the amazing story of Nano Nagle. The tour guardians of the fort were so friendly and helpful.
Magnificent location. After dusk the beams of light rotate & illuminate the sections of sky over land & sea, on a calm night you could sit by the sea wall & watch it for hours. The house itself is full of character & exudes a sense of calm and tranquillity from another era. We were fortunate during our stay that the weather was good so sunbathing & eating out on the front lawn was the order of the day. The caretaker (Gerry) a true gentleman, was most helpful & accommodating. Great weekend, could not recommend more....
Excellent house, amazing location, Gerald the caretaker is efficient, knowledgeable and lovely to talk to. Kitchen is well equipped.
The railway cottage is fabulous. It's cosy, unique, quirky and in a wonderful location to visit the area. You smiled every day as soon as you came around the corner and saw it. The grounds lovely to sit in and we did plenty of this is the glorious july sunshine
Very comfortable. Hosts very friendly. Location very good for exploring locality. Check out walk in Glenshelane Woods.
We stayed at the schoolhouse in July 2021. On the morning we were due to check in, the house manager told us that there was a colony of protected bats at the house and that we should make sure to close all windows before dusk. In fact the house has a very, very large bat colony and (as we now know), july and august are 'nursery' season for these bats and a particularly busy time. There were no bats inside the house however; squeaks and flutterings in the roof and eaves could be easily heard from the upstairs bedroom all night. Our car was covered in bat droppings every day and bats could be ...more
Stayed as a family of 4. The cottage was spotless and well provisioned. After the initial shock to the kids that there was no WiFi or TV they soon got over it and we spent a wonderful week of exploring, finding hidden bays, dramatric mountains and culture. Can't recommend it enough for a family getaway.
Merrion Mews is a hidden gem, everything about this house is peaceful and special. It is particularly well suited to small families who are looking for an extremely central base from which to explore Dublin. As a family of four we have stayed there at many different stages and ages with our two kids who are now teenagers and Merrion Mews continues to be a much loved favourite holiday for it's amenity and luxury in the city centre. We couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Very nice place, clean, tidy etc just like home, staff n house manage very helpful, one big problem is park, having to pay €20 per 24 hours n car park when one could park n a designated space in the fort like the staff do,,, all you need is one car space per house,, other than that a great stay, highly recommend it
Gorgeous beaches nearby and lovely places to eat. You would have to make sure you bring the car, there wouldn't be many places within walking distance But well work it. The views were stunning
Memorable experience!Breathtaking views .Great sense of getting away ! Review unnecessarily long ! Great to discover two beaches Glen and Limekiln .
GREAT PLACE BUT PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT NIGHTTIME COMFORT IE{ BEDS}. DESPITE THE BEDS THIS PLACE LOOPHEAD HAS TO BE SEEN TO EXPERIENCE ITS OVERALL MAGIC AND FEELING OF PLACE IT IS TRULY A WONDEROUS PIECE OF CLARE AND IRELAND.
What a privilege to be able to stay in a gatehouse of such an impressive estate. I had 2 days/nights at Batty Langley Lodge and spent most of my time walking about the grounds, snoozing under a tree in the shade (July heatwave) and enjoying the lodge. Half a mornng was spent at Castletown House and gardens which are amazing. Walking about the meadows and down along the river is also grand. You really get the feeling of being a world away and reconnecting with nature. The lodge has everything you need for a basic short stay.
The location of the Townhouse is excellent with amenities right on its doorstep. Great to experience an old house in the heart of the vibrant city.
Loved our 3 nights in this magical "mini castle". Lovely garden looking out over the estate and patio furniture to use for outdoor eating. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet and many things to do in the area. Big thanks to Theresa for great communication and introduction to the property.
Where do I start, from the moment we arrived Termon House is a magical place. Located on the edge of The Atlantic Ocean, Termon has been beautifully and sensitivity conserved and restored by The Irish Landmark Trust. The views from every room are breathtaking. We, as a family of 5 completely enjoyed our stay. A short walk from Termon is Maghery beach ideal for a refreshing morning swim. The local centre has a wonderful coffee shop and does a Friday night Chippy menu a must while at Termon. Strand Bar for a pint or two. Dungloe has all you would need and Boyles butchers have divine steak, qua...more
House manager very helpful and practical with property very well cleaned and clear policies regarding Covid visible throughout. Some lovely historic features including old style radiators, staircase, fireplace, windows and stone / wooden floors. Peaceful gaden despite very busy publc park and main road in close proximity, some post pub noise in early hours on one occasion. Numerous nature / historic walks / cycles / runs from your doorstep, so can avoid the car if desired. Many amenities close by including cafes and supermarkets plus lots of local shops and a weekend market next door.
An amazing house in Cellbridge town. Grace welcomed us. She was both kind and vert helpful. It was a very relaxing stay. Our three year old described it as a castle and our six year old loved the very safe walk to castle town house. (The house was at the entrance) We would stay again. Thank you.
