Bark Hill House was great! A beautiful old home, lots of charm, and in such a great town! Everyone, the hosts, the locals, and everyone else we encountered was so welcoming, helpful, and kind. Go to Walsh's pub! They are the best. We hosted 16 people at the house and it worked perfectly. Woodford, small and secluded, was a perfect place for our wedding party to relax and enjoy Ireland as it should be enjoyed.

Michael's home was great and a perfect place for us while attending a family wedding. Maureen was very nice and helpful.

Beautiful house in the countyside. Had a very peaceful stay plus it's only a short drive to the nearest town. Maura and Anita were great hosts. Would recommend 100% and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Brambles! The rural location is beautiful. We loved watching the cows in the fields around the house. Though the house is secluded, it is centrally located for exploring the surrounding counties. We were happy to drive a few hours in every direction to see what Ireland had to offer! Coming home to make dinner kept the kids happy, too. Great house! Well equipped. Super (helpful, friendly, and responsive) host! Thanks Maura and John! Also to note, the house is totally handicap accessable, which might really be attractive to some folks!

Maura's house is amazing !! Exactly like on the pictures and she is a lovely host !

Tuvimos una estancia encantadora en The Brambles. Se encuentra en una calle tranquila y agradable, enclavado en tierras de cultivo de productos lácteos. El lago está a un corto paseo por la carretera. La casa está bien equipada para familias, y es cómoda y limpia. Hay un surtido de juguetes y juegos disponibles para su uso. Mientras que la principal una atracción en Portumna, Mountshannon y Killaloe son sólo un corto trayecto en coche. Encontramos Maura a ser muy servicial y amable y recomendamos encarecidamente The Brambles como base para unas vacaciones en Lough Derg.

Excellent accommodation for a family. A great base for the area, you feel you have escaped the frantic world and found a quiet haven. Maura was very helpful and a great host.

We really enjoyed our stay at Maura's house. Everything went very smoothly with check-in and Maura was really prompt to respond to messages. She also left us lots of information about things to do in the area. The house and garden is lovely, a great place to relax and get away for a few days. The house is lovely and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of towels were provided. My only regret it that we couldn't stay a bit longer!

Great house in a great, peaceful location. The area was lovely with lots to see and do within driving distance. Maura our host was so friendly and really helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

La casa estaba muy bien, el entorno precioso y una gran anfitriona.

Lynch is a wonderful house in a bucolic place. It is a very large apartment, comfortable, good equipped (tv, cd, dvd, kitchen, appliances...), clean, and so very convenient for a family or two couples. The location is perfect to visit the west of Ireland, Galway, Limerick, Moher, Burren, Lough Derh, etc. Abbey, is a small village with an impressive ruin of an abbey. Above all of these, to highlight the kindness of Anne. Thank you very much.

Tuvimos una estancia maravillosa en este apartamento en mayo / junio. Estábamos visitando principalmente a la familia, pero el apartamento nos dio una base con absolutamente todo lo que necesitábamos. Hay dos cuartos de baño y una cocina muy bien equipada, todo impecablemente limpio con mucho espacio para cinco personas. Abbey es un pueblo muy bonito y el pub y tienda local están a un tiro de piedra de la puerta principal. Una ubicación idílica. Altamente recomendado.

It's a nice, clean, comfortable 2 bedroom apartment quietly located in a real Irish town with ancient ruins just across the corner. We had a true Irish experience and loved it. We can highly recommend this cottage.

Really enjoyed our stay everything was great, there were fresh scones and bread awaiting us on arrival plus some other essentials in the fridge, place was lovely, really clean. Quiet scenic village, shop close by and 15mins drive to town of Loughrea or Portumna. Would highly recommend

Confortable apartment far away any noise, any town

Our stay at Lynch's was exactly as we'd hoped it would be during our first trip to Ireland. Traveling as a family of 4 with 2 young children, we wanted an affordable, rural "home" to return to each night after spending each day exploring. The apartment had everything we needed to provide consistency and routine for our kids including a swing/slide in the backyard, 2 full bathrooms and a small grocery store right across the street. We were able to visit the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, and many other attractions in the surrounding 3 counties with ease. Its central location in a clean and quaint "Tidy Town" coupled with Anne's warm hospitality made this apartment one we would highly recommend.

This house was our first airbnb and It was an amazing experience! The children had a lovely time. Mary was an amazing host. Prepared tea for us once we've arrive! Couldnt thank enough!

Das weiße Haus erfüllt wörtlich das, was man sich darunter vorstellt. Sehr netter Empfang, viel Platz, sehr hochwertige Ausstattung und alles sehr sauber. Sehr empfehlenswert für Familien.

The host canceled this reservation 32 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

For anyone looking for a base to explore East Galway, the Aughty Mountains, the Lough Derg area and East Clare, this is an ideally located far from the madding crowd opportunity to enjoy countryside peace and quiet with a luxurious twist. The house is modern yet has high ceilings and classical proportions that make one feel as though they're waking in a much older property. The rooms are ensuite and are beautifully appointed and the shower was a hotel quality delight. The reason for my visit was a wedding at the Three Towers Eco Lodge, about 10 minutes away and Mary went out of her way in providing a lift to and from the venue. My only regret was not bringing a bike with me so I could have enjoyed the local quiet roads. The welcome here is phenomenal and the beauty of the local countryside is something that should call people back year after year. Looking forward to seeing activities added to the options available at this fantastic countryside retreat.

Bel appartement dans un emplacement idéal pour les mariages à Coolbawn Quay

Caroline et sa belle famille nous ont fourni rien d'un traitement cinq étoiles. Dès l'instant où nous sommes arrivés, nous étions gâtés avec Cava, délicieuses collations et des soins de beauté (que nous avons fait usage de de ses filles de salon de beauté de luxe directement en bas). Alors que nous montrant autour de Caroline et ses filles nous ont également rempli sur l'histoire fascinante de leur propriété qui ne fait qu'ajouter à son charme déjà abondante. Après un sommeil paisible dans des lits très confortables et parfaitement réalisés, nous avons pu profiter de l'excellente douche et pléthore d'articles de toilette de style hôtel à gauche pour nous. Nous avons ensuite rempli sur les fournitures de petit déjeuner généreux à gauche dans notre réfrigérateur et pris un café en plein air en buvant dans les vues idylliques de Lough Derg. Ai-je mentionné que nous a même donné un ascenseur vers et depuis le mariage, nous avons assisté à Coolbawn Quay !! Esthétiquement le grand appartement où nous avons séjourné est décoré parfaitement dans un style moderne et minimaliste doux avec des petits morceaux de son histoire regardant par ici et là. Autrement dit, cet hôte est irréprochable dans toutes les facettes de ses relations d'Airbnb. Il est clair qu'elle a un excellent oeil pour les détails les plus fins qui rendrait tout client de se sentir tout à fait spoiled.Our seul regret est que notre séjour était pas plus.

Everything was as described, the accommodation was immaculate. We had everything we needed in a great location to the wedding venue we attended at Coolbawn. Caroline and her daughter Aisling were helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend.

Wonderful location with a very accommodating host. Peaceful, restful and central to the lake area.

Excellent accommodation on the edge of Lough Derg. We habeb our stay at Caroline very much. Can highly recommend the apartment and the host.

If you are looking for a relaxing break near a lake well this apartment is ideal. It is spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Myself and my husband Frank really enjoyed our stay. When I mentioned that it was a birthday celebration weekend Caroline, our very gracious host, ensured there was a delicious cake for us. Above and beyond our expectations!! The peace and quiet was so restful, ideal for us city dwellers. I would love to go back again sometime very soon.

La casa está fenomenal

We stayed in this lovely house for 3 nights in June 2017. The house has everything you could want. We travelled with a 9 year old and a 17 year old. They were well entertained. There is a lovely playroom for the smaller kids and the house has wifi and a pool table in the garage which kept the teenager happy. The host Connie could not be more helpful. The welcome basket on arrival was a lovely touch. There is lots to do in the area. We had a lovely meal at the local restaurant and did some kayaking of the lake with lough derg water sports. We will definitely be back.

Cornelia is a great host, very accurate, kind and helpful. The place is strongly recommended, very peaceful, well equipped, spacious with extremely beautiful view on the lake. Cornelia helped us in booking a table in a local restaurant, and they kept the kitchen open especially for us because we arrived after 9pm. Cornelia brought us to the restaurant with her car so we can have drinks :) In short, this is a very recommended place for families or groups of friends seeking peaceful weekend or holidays. Thank you Cornelia

Cornelia was een bijzonder aardige vrouw die alles deed om ons verblijf aangenaam te maken. Het huis was heel ruim en de kamers waren ook erg groot - de keuken was erg goed voorzien. Alles was prima in orde, het uitzicht was ook heel mooi. We konden zelfs biljarten en dartsen! Echte aanrader!

Cornelia and Mike are super kind and great hosts!The location incredible, the house spacious and extremely clean: we felt home!! Highly recommended!!

This place is a really unique little cottage tucked into the countryside. It's a bit of a drive to the nearest town, but once settled in it's a comfortable two bedroom cottage with lots of space to move around. And a wonderful view of the hills and cows as you sip your morning coffee.

The booking is as described, a stone cottage, which was a unique experience. Unfortunately, the weather was rather chilly while we were here, and the open fire/electric heaters weren't enough to warm the cottage. Our stay was still pleasant, the location is beautiful, and great for getting away from the city. Teresa met us at the arranged time, and made sure the fire was lit before leaving us to our stay. She and her son were also available if we had any questions.

Teresa was a lovely hostess, the keys were left for when we arrived at the pub adjacent to the property. Teresa then came to see us later on that evening when we had settled in. The fire was lit and the cottage the very definition of warm and cozy. It is a converted stables built in stone, with walls about 30cm thick. There is a peat burning fireplace and radiators to add extra heat when required in each bedroom. There is a huge stash of peat outside, so you don't have to go and dig your own out of the ground of course. This place was authentic rural Ireland, and the reason we love to travel and use Airbnb instead of staying in bland, sterile hotels with no personality. This was 100% personality and character. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in throughout our Irish sojourn, and I have a bad back so am quite demanding on that score. The cottage is next door to the pub where you can finish of a days exploring with an excellent pint of Guinness. It is about 9km from Loughrea which has eateries and bars. The standout restaurant was "Taste Matters", if you choose to stay at The Cottage, you must eat here, booking is recommended, but failing that try your luck, it is outstanding on an International scale, and extremely reasonable. The views when we woke in the morning were surreal, just fields, forest, peace and tranquillity. Brilliant.

We really enjoyed our stay in this stone cottage. It's very peaceful and relaxing and quiet. There's no noise from the bar next door or the road. The peat fireplace was very cozy and warm. It's a good mix between old and modern conveniences. Everything you need is there.

Thank you so much again for your kind hospitality during hosting in your nice and cosy cottage last week. Our 2 girls loved getting wood from behind the cottage and enjoying the great fire place. We also enjoyed the quite and wonderful landscape around the cottage and the nice talkings to you and your whole family. Be assured, if we come to Ireland once again, we will get in touch with you. Wish you all the best and also to your family (also from our girls).

We have just returned from our second stay at this property and we will continue to return, time permitting, because of its peace, tranquility, value for money, the loveliness of the hosting family and the quaintness of the cottage. It's a real treat for us city folk to make fires, watch stars, sleep like logs as there is absolutely no noise and yet still be able to be in touch with our lives back home if we want to, due to the excellent wifi! We cannot recommend this listing highly enough - thank you Teresa and family!

Some of the nicest, warmest and most interesting people I have ever met. Teresa and John are wonder hosts. The locality is perfectly balanced between rural and urban. This cottage is ideally situated to explore the west of Ireland and all of it's natural and cultural beauty. The cottage itself is cosy and welcoming, exactly as described. I will be back to visit for years to come and will highly recommend it to anybody I meet. Thank you Teresa and John for making this cottage and your selves available. Thomas Judge

The fire in the fireplace was going when we got there, which was great. So nice to arrive to a nice warm cottage! Gorgeous property in an easily accessible area, but still feels remote.

Great house, suited perfectly, lovely location. Very good value for a group.

Tämä on kaunis talo upeassa ympäristössä, ja isännät olivat erinomaisia tietoja alueen tarjoamisesta. Valitettavasti wifi ei toiminut eikä matkapuhelinta ole paljon, joten emme pystyneet viettämään aikaa talossa. Internetin kanssa tämä olisi idyllinen talo!

Lovely, clean home. Beautiful view of the magnificent countryside from the front door! Location was very convenient for travel to different sites and towns. The communication with the owners was very good. We would go again.

Oli koko talo 8 meille. Ihana, viihtyisä ja tilava talo. Keittiö oli hyvin varusteltu. Sängyt mukavat. Helppo löytää (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Mapsin ja Sat Navin yhdistelmällä. Vain alas puoli oli toimiva jääkaappi, mutta Dermot pyysi anteeksi ja meillä oli vain yksi yö (irlantilainen sää ulkopuolella tehty hyvä jääkaappi). Pysy täällä taas

La casa era fantástico, nos encantó la cesta de alimentos y el pan fresco. La casa estaba limpia y era apropiado para todas nuestras necesidades. Muchas gracias

The house in Coolbawn was beautiful and had a lot of room. There was some food and things to hold us over till we went to eat. Also, the house is not that hard to find, but the area doesn't have address's for the houses so we had to make sure we could find it on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps. Also, it was a 5 minute drive to the wedding venue in Coolbawn. The only issue we had was that the internet was scheduled to be down for a couple days. With the internet this house would have been perfect. Being that we were from US it was hard to make long distant calls but Dermot answered all our calls and tried his best. Thanks again Dermot. We enjoyed ourselves!

My family and I stayed at Beautiful Lakeside Holiday Retreat and were so impressed with how accommodating our host was. We were welcomed in the driveway by Frances (housekeeper) and some traditional Irish goodies for snacking and breakfast. The home is fully equipped with all the luxury amenities (i.e. appliances) from home and Frances took great care of us by showing us around and how to use everything. Frances also helped us by researching local rugby and hurling matches. She was fabulous to talk to; very insightful about things to see and do and always reassuring us that if we had any questions to give her a call or “come on over” to her house. Frances and the gorgeous view were wonderful bonuses to an already great house and host. All the people we met in town (and pretty much all over S to SE to E Ireland) were so nice, friendly, and always took a moment out for a nice chat. On a five-star rating, I give Beautiful Lakeside Holiday Retreat and host and Frances SIX-STARS!

Il est un endroit magnifique avec une vue superbe et excellent pour les familles

Terminamos teniendo una oportunidad en casa de Alison, porque no había críticas anteriores, pero terminó siendo nuestro mejor experiencia con Airbnb !!! Antes de nuestra llegada, Alison era muy comunicativo y se aseguró de que sabíamos lo que debe buscar cuando se viaja a su casa de campo. También pregunta acerca de nuestra hija de 18 meses y se aseguró de que teníamos una cuna, con errores, y los juguetes del bebé a nuestra llegada. Eso hace que sea mucho más fácil para nosotros, ya que no tenía que llevar, ya sea! Al llegar a Irlanda, Alison se aseguró de que se podía encontrar su cabaña. La casa es un poco difícil de encontrar, pero ella nos ayudó a encontrar con seguridad. La casa se encuentra en un precioso campo; muy tranquilo y silencioso. A nuestra llegada, nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y nos dieron un gran sugerencias para las atracciones. Aunque se encuentra en un lugar aislado, hay mucho que hacer en la zona general que incluye un hermoso lago en cuestión de minutos. Asimismo, se encuentra en el centro del país que usted puede hacer muchas de las principales atracciones irlandeses en excursiones de un día. Visitamos los acantilados de Moher, el anillo de Kerry, y visitamos la ciudad de los antepasados de mi esposa en Castlepollard. También podríamos haber hecho Dublín un día de viaje. La casa en sí era perfecto! Coincide con las fotos, pero no hacen justicia suficiente. Fue absolutamente hermoso y limpio por dentro. Al alquilar la casa, se alquila todo el lugar. Tiene un total de tres habitaciones, cada una con su propio baño. Las noches se pusieron un poco frío, pero hemos sido capaces de arrimarse al lado de su chimenea (también hay calefacción eléctrica). Y para colmo, había salchichas frescas irlandeses, queso, huevos y tocino listos para nosotros en la nevera y bollos frescos en el mostrador. Como se describe en el perfil, se necesita un medio de transporte (coche de alquiler). La mayor parte de Irlanda parece ser bastante rural y tener un coche de alquiler es casi un deber de todos modos. En resumen, Alison era absolutamente servicial y comunicativo. No podríamos haber pedido una mejor experiencia. Hemos utilizado Airbnb toda Europa y éste fue de lejos la mejor experiencia que tuvimos. Si usted está buscando un lugar en Irlanda y no recomendaría ningún otro lugar!

Over the course of our time in Ireland we had the privilege of staying at this cottage. Alison and her daughter were very welcoming when we arrived and ensured that we had everything we needed, ready to answer any question we had. The cottage is a superb location nestled between a few of the smaller towns in County Tipperary. It is centrally located and a very short drive to Nenagh and was very reasonable in our travel time to and from places such as Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Cork, Galway, and the Blarney Castle. The cottage was quiet, clean, so incredibly spacious, and was exactly what we needed after our travel days. If you have an opportunity to enjoy the space of quiet Ireland roads and small bustling towns, then we highly recommend that you spend your time at the Blackberry Cottage.

Beautiful and relaxing home. We slept well and enjoyed the time we spent in this comfortable home!

A very comfortable warm house well equipped and a very generous welcome pack given. We were attending a family wedding close by and it was perfect. Also a great base to visit the surrounding scenic area

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage as our home base while traveling all over to see some great places in Ireland. The location was central, but very rural and quiet. The hostesses were very helpful and responsive even well after our stay as we tried to locate our lost luggage with the airline. The linens were clean and soft and we had plenty of beds for everyone. The washer and dryer were much appreciated since we were traveling with 5 children. Everything was accurately described. I'd recommend this cottage to families, couples, young, and old looking for a quiet getaway in the beautiful countryside. I'd definitely stay here again.

Très grande chambre avec salle de bain privée, emplacement tout à fait charmant. Colette était très accueillante, je recommande, très bon qualité prix!

Excellent property located in the Irish countryside. Large, bright, cheery room with private bath, a great shower and wi-fi; the equivalent in those regards of what you will find with any resort property. Gracious host that stayed in touch through messaging even while away herself on holiday. I was in the area for the Feakle Traditional Music Festival, looking for something quiet and in the countryside, away from town a bit but an easy drive. This fit perfectly. A good restaurant (Nuala's) reasonably close in a nearby town, a great view a few steps away across the driveway to take in with morning coffee (instant or tea provided). Great drives or if you have them, bicycle routes around east Counties Clare and Galway (or around the Lake to west County Tipperary) within easy reach. Highly recommended if looking for something in the countryside, quiet and unexpectedly comfortable.

We really appreciated the large room which was discretefully decorated. Also the house is nearby a beautiful lake. We enjoyed special coffee and tea set. Colette is a very nice hostess and we felt good vibrations. Merci beaucoup Colette

On arrival Colette gave us a warm welcome. Our accommodation was perfect and very comfortable. WIFI was available and bathroom facilities great. We were supplied with tea & coffee. Highly recommend a great place to stay. Mary

Colette was lovely, the perfect host. The room was clean and quiet, the bed is comfortable . Lovely place to stay.

Our stay har was great in every way. Beautiful landscape. Colette showed lots of hospitality. The room was just like a hotel room. Everyting was prefectly clean. Would recommend it to anyone.
