Wonderful comfortable stay, very generous warm and friendly hosts

We stayed with oonagh and Ian during the electric picnic weekend. It was lovely warm home to come back to each night. Ian even drove us in on the first night and arranged taxis for us.

The farmhouse is easily accessible and very private. Upon arriving at the farmhouse we were pleasantly surprised that it exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not quite show how beautiful this home really is. The interior is set up nicely for a family with children. There is a large play room and a nice fireplace. The home is situated on an active farm which is part of its charm. There is a good sized yard that is safe for kids to stretch the legs and have some outdoor fun. The family was very friendly and accessible. One of our children had an ear infection and needed to go to the doctor and the family helped us tremendously by helping us to set up an appointment with the family practitioner. The farmhouse is also located in a central location that is easy to take a day trip to just about anywhere on the Island. In all we had a wonderful trip to Ireland and the farmhouse was a big part of that.

The farmhouse of Justin, it's great! The house is spacious and at the same time cozy, it is very well equipped having fantastic kitchen. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the whole house is very well cared for and clean, it feels like a home is lived which makes all the difference in terms of comfort. The house have a very nice garden with several beautiful trees.

A beautiful place to stay. We had a large family group and Justin was very accommodating. I wish I could come back soon!

The house is a renovated farmhouse that is an absolute gem. Fantastic property. The owners were very friendly Anyone looking for accommodation in the area this a must recommend

If you're looking for an Irish holiday, you may be skeptical about spending it in a renovated farmhouse quiet County Laois. Well, let me eliminate your skepticism right now. First of all, we expected that this renovated farmhouse wouldn't have all the touches we are used to here in North America. Boy were we wrong! First of all, the home has three washrooms, one with a glorious full bath as well as a shower, and two with showers. The water pressure was fantastically strong, and there was TONS of hot water, so don't worry about crummy farmhouse water pressure; it's a non-issue. Second, the kitchen is fantastic. It's a huge, bright, open space with a large communal table, and an island with lots of high seating to get everyone participating in making meals. Amazingly, we didn't eat out a single day we were at the farmhouse because the kitchen was such a pleasure to cook in! The house also features a relaxing family room with a fantastic fireplace that we used every single night. Be aware, the farmhouse is actually on a working farm. You may occasionally hear cows mooing, or chickens clucking, but this only adds to the charm. The nice thing about the location is that it's in a vibrant rural county where dairy farming and cattle raising is still the dominant way of life, and there are few tourists. There is a thatched roof pub less that five minutes away that has been owned by the same family since the 1700's, and serves great homestyle food and quality pints of Guinness. The town centre is less than a 10 minute drive, and there are some surprisingly good eats and fun pubs to hang out in. Make no mistake, this is a very busy town! The final benefit is that the home is located very close to the awesome M7 highway, so you can be virtually anywhere in the country within a couple of hours. Dublin airport is about an hour, Dublin city centre is about 75 minutes, and Limerick and Cork are right off the M7, so very convenient drives. I would highly recommend this place. Justin is very friendly and accommodating- you won't be disappointed!

Our visit to the Morette House was more than we hoped. The setting is beautiful and the house spectacular. Justin was also great to work with. You will not be disappointed!

The farmhouse is amazing! Pictures online really do not do it justice. We really love the Morette House and would stay then again in a second. The home is well situated close to the centre of Portlaoise, but is private and gated so you feel very secure. Having a home base in Portlaoise gives you great access to all of Ireland. We felt like we have loads of space for our family. Everything inside the home is immaculate, but you still feel like you are in a warm, welcome and cozy home. The kitchen is well equipped with all you would need to create any kind of simple to extravagant meal easily. Of course, the home has all of your necessities, but also offers a large garden where you can enjoy meals outside. Prior to our arrival Justin was very quick to respond and thorough with communication. That care continued throughout our stay. We had a moment when the wifi wasn't connecting well, and Justin quickly replied and even brought a replacement wifi out to us. Our check in and checkout was super easy and we would absolutely love to stay at the Morette House in the future! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

You will love the quiet serenity and amazing views. Very close to M7 motorway and Kildare Outlets.

Oonagh was a fantastic host. We were staying for two nights during Electric Picnic, she picked us up at Portarlington train station and dropped us to the festival the first evening - above and beyond! The house is beautiful and the limited photos do not do it justice.

Oonagh and Ian looked after us from the beginning of our stay. They organised for a pick-up and looked after all our requests over the weekend. They were welcoming and friendly. The room was beautiful, clean and quiet.

Oonagh was a fantastic host. She collected us from Portarlington train station and dropped us into Electric Picnic on the first night. Made us feel very much at home. The house is beautiful and is perhaps under-represented by the pics!

Had a great time at Esies place, we were made to feel very welcome. Would recommend!

Our second time staying with James and hopefully not the last. As usual a great welcome with lots of goodies in the fridge and a spotless apartment. Highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment exactly as advertised. In fact, it is larger than it looks! Hosts v helpful & easy to deal with. There was a problem with the heating when we arrived, we rang & he came out immediately & sorted it out, which was great v much appreciated as we arrived on a cold new year's eve! There was also a well stocked welcome pack including a box of chocolates! I highly recommend this listing.

Superb location and excellent accommodation, all within a short drive from Dublin. James & Bernadette went out of their way to help and make our stay very enjoyable. Highly recommended and we will be back again.

II was taking part in a 3 day Golf Tournament. This was our ( my wife and I) first visit to the 'Sawgrass' accommodation at The Heritage Golf and Spa resort. During booking and afterwards ongoing contact with James and Bernadette was seamless. Bernadette met us on precisely as arranged and give us a very comprehensive introduction to the apartment. The location and standard of the accommodation was simply superb. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The fridge was stocked with some basics for Breakfast the next morning. This was a vey kind and much appreciated gesture. There is no WiFi available in the apartment , however, there is excellent free WiFi in the Golf club House which is a ( literally) a Two Minute walk away if you must have it. The availability of great food and drinking at the golf club means you can step out for a wonderful meal and drinks and not worry about driving home. The atmosphere in the cub house is very relaxed and vey child friendly.......Would we go back?.....In a heartbeat....looking forward to next years Pro Am

Fantastic apartment! Cannot recommend this apartment enough! Will 100% be staying again! The apartment was amazing - clean, comfortable and stylish! James & Bernadette were great hosts, with excellent communication from arranging to meet with the key to meeting Bernadette on the day. Loved welcoming pack of bread, milk, water etc, it was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated!

This apartment is fabulous. It's in a great location especially if you're attending an event at the hotel. It's so luxurious and comfortable. James and Bernadette are great hosts and were more than helpful. I would highly recommend it. Thanks James and Bernadette.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The place was very clean and the hosts were very nice and even helped find Irish Dancers for our family event!

A wonderful stay! James was really welcoming and he and Bernadette had even stocked the kitchen with everything we needed for a full Irish for the four of us. Very thoughtful. The apartment is really spacious and comfortable and with views out on to the golf course its a lovely place to spend a sunny day. Everything we needed was on site, in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Highly recommend this place and we hope to visit again.

Dean met us when we arrived, showed us around and was very easy to communicate. We had to change our booking late in the day and this was no problem. Would definitely stay again and the chocolate, crisps and water were a lovely touch. Recommended!

My husband and I attended a conference in the Heritage Hotel in Killenard and as it was fully-booked, decided to stay in Sawgrass.Dean met us on arrival and filled us in on the local attraction and points of interest. The room was elegant, clean and comfortable and just a short walk from the hotel. Dean provided a welcome package of bottled water, chocolate and pointless. Though our stay was short, we really enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks, Dean.

It seems Dean has a habit of overbooking. He booked me in with another lady, Mary, who was also overbooked. However Mary made sure that I had accommodation and was very helpful. I won't be booking into Dean's place again.

Beautiful room!! Perfect for attending any event in the Heritage. Smooth and simple checkin and checkout. Highly recommended

Dean was great at replying to any queries The location was perfect. We were very well looked after.

Olga is a very kind host! She waits for us untill late night and gives us all details! The room is very smart and cozy, with a confortable double bed and many places to put your things! We hope to come back soon and stay for some days! Highly recommend!

This was our second time to stay with Olga, everything was perfect again!

Very lovely and clean house with friendly hosts not much more to say other than all the best in your studies Olga

This was a great stay for us. Olga was very helpful with local touring information. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We 'd love to return for a longer stay.

Our host had been very accommodating n pleasant . Our room was clean. Nevertheless we found the shower facility a bit too intrusive into their private space. But the toilet for us was neat, tidy and clean.

Really friendly couple. So nice and accommodating to me. Welcomed me into their home. The king size bed is fantastic to sleep in especially after 3 days of a festival! Great home from home experience. Really recommend to anyone especially if your on your own like I was.

-Olga was very welcoming, kind and accommodating - The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated as the descriptions says! -Central location to Portlaoise centre - Plenty of free parking

The house was beautifully kept and spotless. The neighbourhood was quite and close to shops and places to eat. Olga and Christopher were very friendly and welcoming. I work nights so the timing would not have been normal for a host but this did not bother anyone (I hope). The house is ideal for staying in Portlaoise and it allowed me to access my work site a few kms away.

Accueil chaleureux dans une maison très accueillante. Karen est très gentille. Ne pas hésiter à aller là-bas!

Karen has a very warm heart and a truly wonderful gift of hospitality. We felt so welcomed on arrival, her cheerful personality made us feel right at home. The room was great, a very comfortable bed and the breakfast delicious. Her home is beautiful and ideally situated near the town, in a quiet setting beside a lake with swans. We would highly recommend a few nights here. A definite five gold stars***** Thank you Karen!

We really enjoyed our stay in Karens house she is a lovely host and was very accommodating. We stayed with her the weekend of electric picnic and she was kind enough to drop us to the gates each day. The house really is lovely, the room was immaculate with fresh linen and the house was clean to a hotel standard.

Karen was a great host, very helpful and courteous. Lovely house in an ideal location. Will definitely be back.

Karen and Billy have a lovely house and they are extremely obliging and friendly. I particularly loved how warm the house was and will definitely stay there again whenever I'm back in Portlaoise. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my stay in Karen's lovely home. The room was spacious and spotless and very comfortable with lovely bed linen. We also had sole use of a bathroom. Karen made us feel very welcome and kindly allowed us to use her kitchen. She even left a lovely breakfast for us in the morning. The house itself was really nice, in a peaceful spot yet handy for Portlaoise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen's house to friends and family.

Karen was a fabulous host and she made me feel incredibly welcome. A hearty, healthy breakfast and lifts into town were a great bonus. Highly recommended and I hope to stay another time I'm in Portlaoise.

Great reception and made us feel very welcome Beautiful Home and cosy (URL HIDDEN) breakfast etc.Would definitely stay again.Thanks Karen.

L'endroit est très agréable et le quartier très calme. On s'y sent en sécurité. Gina a été une personne formidable !!! Elle a su me mettre à l'aise et m'a fait découvrir des aspects de la culture irlandaise. Elle a été bien plus qu'une simple hôte pour moi et je lui en suis extrêmement reconnaissante.

Gerry is a great host. So friendly and accommodating.

Gina is a lovely lady, very hospitable. The house is lovely and very close to city centre and many interesting places. One thing: (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps seems to have problems with locating the house, so it's worth giving Gina a call, so she can explain how to get there.

We only had a short stay but Laura and Caroline were very accommodating with our requirements. The apartment was lovely and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to others.

I spent a wonderful night in this charming and big flat. There is literally everything you need inside. Thank you to Caroline for her charming welcome and to Laura for the great communication.

Very very clean. Friendly host. Provides everything you need and then some. Allowed us to check in late. Awesome location. Thanks again!

Terrific place, truly wonderful blend of helpful hosts and privacy. Cute interior and great accomodations. About a ten minute ride to town

Lovely place to stay and in a great country location! Very homely!

Laura is an angel. She went above and beyond as a host to make sure our visit was special. We could not have asked for better hospitality or a more lovely place to stay. Thanks so much, Laura and Caroline!

We had A very Nice Time in this warmly flat And this landcape beautiful all around. Such so man thing A to see from this place. The family is incrediblx kind. Thank you again for everything. We felt very Well! Take Care And welcome!

The apartment was perfect. We were up from dublin hoping for a relaxing couple of days out of the city. That's exactly what we got. There is everything you need in the apartment and the satellite tv was a bonus. Sky sports went down a treat with himself. Would definitely recommend Caroline and Laura's property!!

Ann was very welcoming and responded quickly to my queries prior to arrival. The cottage was warm, clean, very comfortable and perfect for our stay. I would highly recommend staying with Ann!

Ann's place is clean, cozy and spacious. The bed is comfy. The temperature was great. Ann and her family were friendly and accommodating.

Ann was a delightful host. She greeted us with a smile and was very helpful with information of what to do in the area. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. We had a lovely couple of days basing ourselves in Mountmellick.

Short stay but very nice in the house. Highly recommended

We booked Ann's place very last minute, as a stop over point on our way back to Dublin - and her quick, friendly response was very much appreciated. But her place was so much more than just a place to stop over. It was in a lovely village, very green and very picturesque. And the house was super clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. This is a great place to stay for a long or short trip, and has everything you need to self-cater and to relax. We enjoyed playing cards in the comfy lounge room, and sitting in the outside courtyard in the afternoon sun. Definitely recommend you stay here!

Ann and her husband gave us a very warm welcome, the fire in the fireplace was already burning :-) They were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and had a really calm night.

Nice host, nice place

Ann and her home were lovely. We arrived to a warm welcome from Ann. The fireplace was a real treat for the family, and Ann made sure that the fire kept going even while we were out so that we would return home to a warm home after a full day out. She was very helpful with directions, and it so happened that she also had discounts for the Kildare Village while we were there (which we put to good use, thank you Ann!) Staying at Ann's was a lovely and cozy experience :)

Lovely spacious room and a fabulous fry! Home away from home. Thanks Alice and Tom!

A great place to stay! Alice & Tom were great hosts, even dropping us off at the wedding we were attending, and were always welcoming. The room was clean and well kept, with a little ensuite. They offer evening meals as well, which is great if you're turning up late or don't want to have to drive into town, and it's very easy to find. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Lovely room as shown on airbnb, bed was comfortable. Hosts were very welcoming and breakfast was lovely.
