The grounds and house were from a different era. It was like going back in time. Having Chef Liam come to cook was completely decadent and delicious. Getting to walk the long drive and watch the cows and sheep was mesmerizing.
A second stay on site but in the other house..we had a fabulous time. It is ideally positioned for enjoying the delights of Cork City..and further afield..we took buses out to Kinsale and Blarney..and walked out to concerts in Musgrave Park..would highly recommend. Watch out though for the parking situation. We left the car behind this time. Thanks to Geraldine again..houses are very well equipped with all you could ask for. We will come back again hopefully.
Our stay in Galley Head was fabulous. The location and scenery are absolutely awe inspiring. The house itself is warm and cosy, with a very relaxing feel. Each window offers a unique view of the beautiful surroundings. Gerald was a pleasure to deal with from the first phone call to checkout. He is very kind with his time and full of interesting conversation on the history of the lighthouse and the houses themselves. All of this along with the privacy and exclusiveness of the property make for a very relaxing and enjoyable break away. A truly unique and memorable stay.
If you are looking for a break from the world, then this is place for you. Quaint and quite, step back to a bygone time and just relax and enjoy!
I have been there for just 2 day, I wish I was a month…amazing stay, great experience, always recommended.
A stunning and peaceful location, spectacular views in all directions. Easy access to sea swimming in 2 locations within walking distance. Well equipped, especially in the kitchen.
Great stay at Parade House. Five minute walk from the main streets. Close to pubs and restaurants and a convenience store. Bit quiet at night, and no TV. But we ran the internet off our phones so all was fine. Staff were very helpful. Heating worked great.
We had a wonderful stay at the Schoolhouse at Annaghmore. The house was really comfortable. It is a delightful location and was so clean and well kept. Sarah was a wonderful host and told us some of the history of the house which was really interesting. We found that travel was easy to and from the places we visited including Strandhill, Rosses point and the Forest Walk at Benbulben. Thank you.
We enjoyed a short break at Salterbridge Lodge. The property has been renovated by retaining its character, original features and is tastefully decorated.
Amazing property full of history. Really well equipped, very quiet and comfortable and such a nice difference from staying in a hotel. Walking distance to everything…
We had a wonderful stay in the house, kids loved the fireplace and the scenery. We enjoyed the quietness and remoteness of this place. Definitely a must visit location, I was surprised not many Irish people we met knew about this place and its history. Very well maintained, lots of great books to enjoy on a rainy evening next to the fireplace.
The location of the property is absolutely amazing. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the dramatic coastline is stunning. The weather was not at its best while we were there, we had wind and rain and some lovely sunshine. The wind and rain added to the atmospherics, and the house was totally cosy with a very effective heating system. The highlights - the wonderful viewing window upstairs, we sat for hours in those comfy armchairs admiring the Kerry mountains in the distance. The local Kilbaha gallery is not to be missed. Best of all was the genuine warm welcome from Mary. ...more
A beautiful airy light-filled and comfortable stay in such an excellent location. Brendan had everything organised for us thank you so much.. the location was excellent for hikes and walks. We walked along the paths closeby to the working lighthouse.. fabulous views and a lovely walk into and our of wicklow town as well. We had sunshine, fog, mist and rain.. yes a typical irish summer day.. but being behind 2meter thick walls in the lighthouse made this extra special. The lighthouse is beautiful inside with really comfortable beds and a seriously good shower in the bathroom. lots of books, ga...more
Aoife was very helpful to us during our stay. Lovely cottage, in a nice location. Ideal place to use as a base to see south Donegal
We enjoyed our days at Batty Langley Lodge. The Irish Trust has done a great job balancing the charm of the 18th century with modern day amenities like a shower and washer! Breda (our host) was very helpful and came right away when we contacted her about a smoke detector "chirping". She had an electrician in that same day to correct the issue. We were impressed! She offered suggestions of things to do and made certain there was tea and milk upon arrival!!
We enjoyed our visit. The house site is great being beside a stone beach and walking distance to a sand beach. The house is quirky in layout and well equipped. For those who require their Internet fix 5G is available in some parts of the house. Dungloe is a decent town with lots of food options. The local community centre does take away food on Friday nights.
The place and building are lovely. We enjoyed the patio. The bedroom was not suitable when you have an allergy to dust mites. Chairs and couch are not very comfortable. Very dogfriendly but only on the premesis (patio) only walks outside the castle on roads for cars
Pretty setting with excellent walks in nearby estate. Acres of green fields in Castletown estate with some beautiful walks with stunning views. Lorraine was very knowledgeable of the area and was an excellent host. Local pubs, restaurants, & Centra all in walking distance. Great location. Absolutely recommend for a short break.
We enjoyed our stay at the Castletown Round House and we liked that we could walk to the restaurants/shops and take a walk up to Castletown House. We were a bit bummed the Castletown house was closed, but the ground were peaceful. Check-in and out was easy, and the kitchen was large enough to prep meals. The addition of a washer/dryer was also helpful for our family, as wash the travel cot for our youngest. Some things to note: there is only one true shower (on the ground floor), and one of the bedrooms is accessed by going through another bedroom. These weren't issues for us, but good to know...more
