What our customers say about their holidays

This cottage could be lovely.
The fire was lit when we arrived, and it was lovely and warm. The outside is absolutely stunning - a lake, use of a boat, and lovely gardens. Really really beautiful, absolutely no complaints about that. There were some lovely coverings on the beds, washing powder and dishwasher tablets were supplied, as well as fuel for the fire. The heating works well, it's a secluded gated property and the view from the living room is extraordinary. However, there were two major downsides which really affected our stay. Firstly, although most of the property was clean enough, the kitchen was not and I had to clean before using it - the hob, the surfaces and the extractor, which was covered in oil. Many of the saucepans were dirty and the mugs had collected dust. There were old bags of food in the cupboards and freezer. Secondly, there was so much stuff - especially in the kitchen - that there was nowhere to put the food and bits we'd bought with us. There must have been upwards of 25 mugs, huge stacks of plates and bowls, loads of utensils and tea sets and glasses, and drawers full of things like old phone cases and batteries. The problem is two-fold because the huge amount of stuff a) takes up all the room and b) must be impossible to keep clean. If the owner just provided a simple set of crockery and cutlery and a few essential utensils and pans that would be enough and it would then also be easy to keep clean and there would be space to put your food shopping. It would have also been helpful to have a few other essentials like some more hangers in the wardrobe, a curtain over the window in the main bedroom upstairs, and some new towels - there was a huge pile of towels but some of them were stained and had seen better days. There were also two power shower units in the one shower cubicle, neither of which gave enough pressure of water to wash your hair properly. There is also clearly a damp problem in the chimney which has caused some unsightly staining upstairs, and the fire hadn't been cleaned out properly. The fire itself could do with a new ash tray - the current one has holes in it and the ash went everywhere when I took it out to empty. It's such a shame because this property could be absolutely amazing if the owner removed 70% of what was in it, updated a few bits and cleaned it properly. I hate to leave a review like this but I have to be honest - there's no way we would ever return. It feels like you're living in someone else's house with all of their bits and pieces in the drawers and cupboards rather than a holiday let. I will say though - the lake is amazing and we really appreciated the use of the boat. Thanks and good luck for the future.

Delia is a lovely host, providing us with an exceptionally warm welcome and very detailed information about the house.
No photographs can do the islands of Ceantar na nOileán justice and in turn, Delias Lake House. The house is rustic but with all modcons and the location is beautifully scenic. The livingroom is very cozy, with a massive fireplace the main focal point. Some very lovely decorative touches throughout the house. Taking the boat on the lake was great craic, and under the Autumn sun just idyllic. Walkers have lots of options, with just one "main" road as an artery running through the island there is a large network of laneways and trails to navigate without the worry of traffic. For starters I would recommend the loop around the lake, which can be extended by walking down to the rugged shoreline. Tigh Lee's pub is a short stroll away and highly recommended for a few(too many) pints and conversation with the incredibly friendly locals. If you are looking for some local seafood you should ask around for contact numbers for local fishermen, we managed to purchase a huge amount of freshly caught shellfish for a fraction of the cost you would pay at market value. If you want to visit a truly unique corner of Connemara I cant recommend this property enough. Largely untouched by tourism with a purity of Gaelic culture little present elsewhere in Ireland but still in reach of the sights of North Connemara. Thank you Delia for the opportunity for outsiders to enjoy this region from such a beautiful home.

We had a fabulous time at the Ring of Kerry Golf Club Cottage.
It is beautifully decorated cottage with good sized rooms and good facilities. The collection of cottages feels safe and it was so quiet with burds and wildlife all around. On the initial drive to the cottage, there were no signs for the cottages until we were practically there. You have to drive on a very bumpy track to the right of the golf club. We headed up the hill on the road and had to turn back. Cottage facilities were good. Once we had turned the boiler on, we had good warm showers. The location was great for us as we were in a beautiful spot, but we didn't feel too remote as we had some neighbours, although we barely saw anyone. We were a bit disappointed that the bar and restaurant closed for most of our visit. There appeared to be an event on one evening, but otherwise it was closed. No sign or anything saying if or when it would open. The view over the golf course was amazing. This location does require a car as it is about 4 miles to Kenmare, which is a fabulous town. The nearest bar Spillanes was also closed every time we drove past. There is a lovely rocky beach within a short drive. If you are blessed with good weather, there is a stunning beach (Paradise Found) about 45 minutes drive away. I really hope to return one day and I would recommend the cottage to others.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Visiting House.
Peter & Elsa were wonderful hosts and have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into creating the perfect retreat - the cottage is cosy and well equipped (there was nothing we needed that wasnt there). Beds were very comfortable and the property was very clean. Great location for those who love peace and quiet, but within close proximity to local shops, takeaways, eateries and places for days out. Our visit to Lough Key country park and activity centre and Galway were amongst our favourite. We made good use of the bbq, pool, hot tub, games room, bikes and enjoyed the greeting from the 2 dogs Oliver and Darragh, not forgetting Honey (horse) and Henry (donkey) at the end of the driveway who loved a daily treat of carrots/ apples. Thanks Peter & Elsa, we had a fab stay, were blessed with great weather and were sad to leave. If you are reading this review and are wondering if you should book a stay - do it! The Visiting House is a place which is good for the soul and perfect for creating memories from.

The visiting house is a fabulous retreat away from the every day hustle and bustle of the world.
The hottub, pool, games room and enclosed garden area for the dogs was absolutely brilliant! We brought our 3 dogs with us and Iâm not sure who had more fun us or them! The beds are unbelievably comfortable and the house is very cosy. All the small touches including the welcome bottle of Prosecco chilling on the fridge really made the stay. There were loads of lovely walks around the area on quiet country roads and we got to meet a lot of the locals and their dogs out on walks too which was lovely. The house is in the heart of the countryside and given its an old restored cottage with thick walls our phone reception and WiFi was a bit spotty but this just meant we didnât get distracted on social media and instead whipped out the board games and had some laugh! The house has tons of board games in it so youâll never have a dull moment! Thanks for creating such a lovely wholesome fun home away from home.
