  Beautiful unusual, unique house set in a tranquil woodland.

  Gated entrance. Loads of hot water in a powerful shower or bath. Loads of towels. We arrived a day later than planned. No heating for the first 2 nights so was very cold. The description on the website needs updating. There's no 4 poster bed and the couch is the most uncomfortable couch we have ever sat on. The noise in the downstairs bedroom when a tap is turned on or the toilet flushed is like a freight train. There's nowhere to put your clothes in the downstairs bedroom. No wardrobe or drawers. 4 plastic hangars on the back of the door is not good enough. No drawers or hangers in bedroom upstairs. No toilet roll holders. No towel rail or hooks in upstairs bathroom. A bit more cutlery so you don't have to wash them after every meal. No space in kitchen cupboards for food. These are all basic facilities that you would expect in any holiday home. The heating stopped working again for another day and night so we left a day early as it was too uncomfortable It's a shame really as the house and area are fabulous and the house was really clean. Lastly when we tried to put a wash on the washing machine was full of wet clothes and dryer was full of half dried clothes. This is not the first time as others have commented on it also. I'm not paying for my holiday and then doing somebody's laundry.

  Irene is a superb host.

  Her attention to detail combined with some beautiful touches makes Lakeside Cottage a true home a way from home. The hamper we received was so generous and thoughtful for our arrival and there was plenty of wood there to keep the fires going. The house is so comfortable and inviting and the chrome cast available meant we could watch Netflix and our favourite movies. The cottage is located in a very peaceful and tranquil place with lovely views at sunrise and sunset. If you want some quality rest and recuperation I couldn’t recommend anywhere more suitable. A lovely 6km walk around the lake was so invigorating and many more walks to do. Roscommon was never on our list of places to go but after this visit it’s now one of the hidden gems especially with the beautiful surroundings and sense of serenity and solitude. Carrick on Shannon is 20 mins drive and we had a very friendly taxi driver who was inexpensive. Boyle is also nearby with some nice places to visit. Everyone we met on our walks were so friendly and we can’t wait to return sometime soon. Ed and Callum

  I booked this property for my parents (in their 70's), they had the most super trip to this cottage and absolutely loved their stay.

  Everything was just what they needed - the walk in shower, ground level accommodation and easy access was just perfect. This property is absolutely ideal for a larger group/family as well. The hosts are so very welcoming and we really appreciated all the help and for being so attentive. It was home from home type accommodation. I really could not recommend this property highly enough. The welcome and attention to detail is superb. This is also a super area for exploring Mayo, there are many day trips in easy distance, there are numerous drives around the coastline and Wild Atlantic Way and you will not be disappointed with the scenery and splendid views around Mayo. There are some super spots for dining and entertainment in the nearby towns, whilst also being able to come back to a lovely homely nest in the evening with complete peace and tranquility. This is one of the best houses to book in the area and I challenge anyone to find anything but perfection here at Annie's Cottage. Please book without hesitation. You will not be disappointed!

  The cottage was amazing that much so we have booked a further two weeks.

  From the moment We entered the cottage something made us feel so calm and at ease . The peacefulness of the location is amazing the only noise you can here is the trees talking in the breeze.red squirrels birds of prey .and my favourite sport fishing a few mile away. Every thing in the cottage you will need and more . WiFi would be good but learned to live with out it . The bedroom up stairs is amazing would be even better with a king size bed . The king size bed on the ground floor is a little to low to the ground for anyone with a disability but very comfortable.as with the sofa it’s a bit hard to get up out off but very comfortable to sit on.think the big cushion could be filled a bit more .but that gripe over I can’t wait to come back. you have done a great job with the choice of decor .The house was spotless clean when we arrived. And I hope we did a good job leaving it that way when we left . Thanks again Marty & Alicia Belfast. 5/09/2020

  The property is in such a peaceful place just what we wanted.

  This is maybe my 5th time booking it . And I have booked it for another three weeks from April. The problem is the furniture in the living room it’s not Fit for older people it’s all to low to the ground . There are seats you sit on and just slide off no comfort at all . The downstairs bedroom has a king size bed which is Way to low to the ground for older people. And the upstairs bedroom sports a double which is comfortable but to small for this day and age . The kitchen is top class everything you need and more the shower and bathrooms are brilliant always hot water and nice and warm . The outside grounds are beautiful. It’s the furniture in the living room and the back bed room bed that’s needs to be sorted. Especially if you are having a long stay and are in your sixty’s just no comfort. Please owners change the living room furniture and back bed .
