Guests say

Ballygroggan Farmhouse is a cosy and lovely property, appreciated for its remote location with great views and wildlife. Guests have enjoyed a comfortable stay, ideal for family time and golfing, and have praised the well-equipped accommodation. The peaceful setting and scenic walks contribute to a highly satisfactory experience.

Overall cleanliness is good, with clean showers and bedding noted. However, one review mentioned an unclean oven and outdoor furniture, slightly lowering the score.

The location is highly praised for its amazing views, wildlife, and tranquillity. It is considered excellent for a peaceful retreat, although not within walking distance of the village.

Guests found the farmhouse very comfortable and cosy, contributing to a great stay. The property is well-regarded for its comfort during a festive break and family time.

The property is described as well kitted out, but there are mentions of limited kitchen utensils, an overgrown garden, and old outdoor furniture, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
