  My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Ring Fort Lodge.

  It is in a good location with lovely views out of the patio doors. The kitchen/lounge is very nice, however there are areas that need attention. Firstly the mixer tap on the sink is free to twist and wobble about needing three hands to turn it on, keep hold of it and what you want to rinse under the tap. It's great to have the dishwasher but a small draining tray alongside the sink would be very useful to place the odd items on you just want to rinse. In the bedroom whilst the bed is very comfortable there is very little clothes hanging and storage space. It was a shame that the wardrobe would not fit in the bedroom & was situated in the lounge. However with the great shortage of hangers it would not have helped much had it been in the bedroom. The room is small but is cluttered up with unnecessary useless furniture. We had to leave most of our clothes in the suitcases on the floor in the bedroom and one case in the lounge. The only mirror on the wall had a clothes hanging rack in front of it so you couldn't use it. The shower and W/C room was OK but the shower screen being small & open at both ends meant the water flooded onto a mat just between the door and shower. We had to hang the soggy wet matt up in the shower to drain after every shower. Surely a rubber shower matt could be placed there which would drip dry when hung up instead of having a wet mat to stand on when coming out of the shower. We also had to mop the floor each time we showerd as it became a skating rink when wet. The sink whilst being perfectly OK was placed on top of an old wooden cabinet that was falling apart when you tried to open the doors. The tap over the sink was the most weird tap I have ever seen. It was anything but user friendly and was difficult to turn on without getting showered in spray. The host kindly left a basket of bread, eggs and other snacks even some butter in the fridge which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. However we have never stayed anywhere were only one toilet roll was supplied. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation had a lot of pluses but could and needs to be made more user friendly instead of quirky.

  I had a very nice week in moybella lodge its in a quiet location with beautiful scenery, the house itself was perfect, comfortable and spotless clean with all the facilities and amenities needed and just a mile from lisselton where there is a pub, restaraunt and petrol station/shop for daily essentials and for anything else the towns of listowel and ballybunion are nearby, i dont drive so i cycle and found listowel to be a 20 minute cycle away and ballybunion 10/15 minutes away so very handy for someone like me, wnen i arrived i was met by angela who was really nice and had some fruit and a couple of bottles of water for me and showed me around the house, i later that day met maurice who was very friendly and chatty and told me i could knock at their door if i needed any help which fortunately i didnt, some people might be afraid or put off by the family dog but shouldnt be he is a very well trained and well behaved german shepherd and isn't at all a nuisance and certainly not a danger and is mostly indoors anyway, overall i got very good value for my money and couldnt be happier with my week in moybella lodge and would recommend to anyone

  We have been renting cottages from Hogan's /Sykes for a number of years now, and have seen all kinds and types of cottage some good, some not so good, but I have to say this one is by far 'The' best We have stayed in.

  People ,often come on these feedback columns, and moan about things ( albeit in their mind totally justified) I can't find a single thing to say against this accommodation. The ,location was brilliant, everything in the cottage worked, it had central heating which most of the Irish cottages do not have. The cottage was purpose built by Maurice ( owner) for his mother in ,law, so obviously he has put evefrytbhibg in to to make her life comfortable. She ;passed and now he rents it out, all the people who go there will be getting the benefit of the effort he ;put into it for her So to sum up, this is a 1st ,class cottage, with a good owner, who likes to crack endless jokes with his clientele, I found him very endearing, and he cares about what his customers want No I am not related to bhim and he is not my brother lol !.

  We arrived around 9pm in the rain to be met by the lovely owner Margaret.

  Margaret gave us a brief overview of the cottage and let us know about the generous breakfast provisions and home baked loaf jam and butter. The cottage is cosy and well equipped, Inch is a quiet little village but within easy access to every part of Cork that we had interest in visiting. We took our little dachshund who immediately relaxed at the dispensary which says a lot! I knew the owners were at hand if needed which was comforting, but they don't impose on you at all. The day before checking out I popped by to discuss leaving keys etc and had a lovely chat with Margaret and John in there beautiful home, Margaret even gave me a parting gift of a Christmas cake that she had baked. The kindness and hospitality from them is second to none. Thank you so much. Hope our paths cross again one day.

  The owner ( and his gorgeous little dog ) was very welcoming and helped us when we had difficulty with the tv.

  He came straight away. He gave us lots of great information of the area of walks, shops etc. The property was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed for lovely holiday. It is situated in a fabulous spot with open views from the patio door, lovely 5 minute walk along a grass path and down steps to the beach, perfect! It's a beautiful, quiet spot to get away from the humdrum of everyday life. Would love to stay again and can highly recommend to others. If you like peace and quiet, this is the perfect place for you. We had a fantastic week, the weather wasn't too bad and one day we sat outside in the garden in glorious sunshine reading, It was a proper sun trap and perfectly peaceful.
