We had a super stay, right from the minute we met Jacqui the Caretaker of the House. She is one of the nicest people we have ever met, so helpful and informative. The house is beautiful, we could have stayed a week or longer !
Goggin Cottage is a beautifully appointed, charming, comfortable accommodation and our host was wonderful! She was very reponsive to our messages, and addressed an oversight that we found immediately. I would absolutely stay again and for much longer! It is some distance from Limerick, and not walking distance to a village. It is a perfect, quiet retreat in the Irish countryside and couldn't be more perfect.
Our second visit to Inchiquin House and it was even better than the last visit, where we returned to celebrate our mother's 91st birthday. What a fabulous house and great location, being so close to the Burren, where we enjoyed a beautiful walk, identifying all the summer flowers. The weather was amazing too. Inchiquin House is so comfortable and warm, and the kitchen is so well equipped for cooking delicious meals! We'll definitely be back!
The Galley Head location is truly unique and special. Gerald and Maria could not be more helpful nor provide a warmer welcome - they are great ambassadors for the Irish Landmark Trust. The lighthouse understandably is off the beaten track so be sure to bring everything you need with you - there is no local shop 2 minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
This is a really nice and quirky place to stay. Right in the city centre and also within the walls of Elizabeth Fort, which gives a great sense of the historic heart of Cork city. The house is very comfortable and beautifully kept. We would go there again.
The three of us felt immediately at home in this very lovely decorated house. Staying on the grounds of a fort is unique and we could reach everything of interest in cork city on foot. The place is very quiet during the night. A big thank you to Geraldine for everything. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation.
Have stayed in many Irish Landmark Trust properties to date and all are to a similar standard. This one in Donegal is particularly remote, and we enjoyed that very much. Gerard was very helpful in showing us around the property. Although rather remote there's plenty to do in the surrounding area. We were blessed with incredibly warm weather for Donegal
A haven at the edge of the world, a unique place of outstanding natural beauty and a place that truly feeds the soul.
We loved our stay at Killee Cottage! Theresa was very welcoming and always just a call away. We were in awe of the beauty of the place. All the little details in the house made it so special and were the aesthetic that we had imagined in the cottage. My husband and I always take a looong time to find special accommodations that feel magical and fitting to us and it didn’t disappoint in any way. Reading, knitting and baking in there was a dream come true for me. It was also nice to read in the guest book who was there before us!
Fantistic little property, beautifully cared for by the caretaker (Lorraine) who also made us so welcome. A great base from which to explore, though sadly the proximity to a busy, fast-moving road prevented us from having windows open or being able to enjoy the garden (which also was not dog-proof). I would recommend this property for a short, touring break, but not for someone seeking tranquility.
We just loved staying in Galley Head. Gayle was a pleasure to deal with even allowing an early check in to facilitate the All Ireland Hurling final . We loved chatting with her about her family’s connection with the lighthouse and was thrilled on our final day to be taken up into the lighthouse by Gerry, himself a lighthouse keeper as was his mother & father . Gerry’s mum being the last female lighthouse keeper in Ireland . Altogether a wonderful stay in beautiful weather
Our accomodation was excellent. Could not have asked more from our host. First class experience all round. Patrick
Beautiful property in terrific location. Enjoyed our visit and would recommend. Character filled property.
Things to consider: Very small 4ft bed, difficult sleeping two. Oven is very old and dated. Fireplace is difficult to work due to shape and smoke drifts back into the house. Bath is not good if you like showers. No extra linens or towels. Heating system is hard to work (no thermostat). Car parking space is very small and tight to turn in. No freezer. Radio needs updated.
Beautiful property in stunning location. Only downside is poor bathroom facilities....lavatory seat broken, shower poor & no bath.
Wir mochten alles an der BLL: die Lage im Park in Laufdistanz zu Restaurants und Cafes, die direkte Nähe zu einem Badeplatz an der Liffey, die liebevoll gestaltete Einrichtung in allen Räumen, das gemütliche Bett, die Einladung, Fledermäuse mit dem vorhandene Equipment zu beobachten, die Nähe zum Castletown-House (eine Besichtigung wert), die funktionierende Küche mit Waschtrockner, die Informationen über die Entstehungsgeschichte der BLL. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Einzige, was wir nicht mochten, war unserre Abreise nach drei Tagen, wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben. Die Kommu...more
Ahhh...DO the cliff walk..it is Moderately Tough! Walk to car park....takes 2 to 3 hours with stopping to smell the wild flower... can walk back home about 35 min walk
The house was exactly as described when we booked. The location is wonderful with great views. The house was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We had some lovely walks from the house. Fabulous weather was a real bonus. We loved watching an otter on the beach in front of the property plus had excellent views of a great northern diver in the bay, as well as whimbrel and other birds. We struggled with the shower on day one, but once we got the settings right it was fine and just a case of pressing the on button. We lit the fire every evening having bought some more logs which was much...more
The gate house is a very snug little dwelling. Staying there gives one a flavour of what life might have been like in the service and shadow of the Great House. Its location on the outskirts of Dublin gave us a chance to pause en route from the West back to Dublin airport without having to negotiate the city. The well tended garden is an extra bonus.
We really enjoyed our recent stay at Anne's Grove. We didn't know this part of North Cork but the surrounding countryside is lovely and the castle itself was delightful and well restored. Theresa was lovely and helpful. Her recommendation of the Thatch and Thyme in Kildorerry was spot on, don't miss the food here. Just be aware of the narrow stone steps to the bathroom and bedroom, they won't suit those of limited mobility
Everything was nice and clean, and access was easy - but next time please heat up the house properly and several hours before arrival!
