We spent a lovely long weekend at the coach house. Clarissa and John have a great place- gorgeous grounds and gardens with a short walking distance to the lake. Spent the weekend fishing, relaxing by the fire, playing tennis and going for walks. There is a really nice walk close by up to a hill, which gives a stunning view of the lake and the surrounding area. The actual house was perfect for all our needs. It was spacious and very comfortable. John and Clarissa were extremely helpful and provided us with anything we would have needed, including a high chair for the baby. They made everything about our stay easy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place and visit again in the future!

nous avons adoré ici! John et Clarissa étaient des hôtes parfaits et la ferme et les jardins sont superbes! il a vraiment senti comme à la maison, notre 8 mois installés dans magnifiquement et nous étions tristes de partir. hautement recommandé

Dit was een uitstekende plek van waaruit op tournee en in de week dat we erin geslaagd om de Giant's Causeway in het Noorden, Dublin in het oosten, Cork en Kinsale (over-nacht) in het zuiden en Limerick en Galway in het Westen te komen. Het huisje zelf was ruim en comfortabel met een open haard en alle voorzieningen je nodig zou hebben voordat je uit naar de winkels. De lokale landschap was mooi met veel lopen gelegenheid van het huisje.

My family (parents and two teenage sisters) stayed here for four days. They really enjoyed their stay, and felt that John was an ideal host. The grounds were a real high point for them as my mother is an avid gardener and my dad's a big outdoor guy. Very quiet and peaceful location, ideal for getting away from it all. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Als je zou willen komen voor rust en vrede, is dit de plek om te gaan! Vanaf het heerlijk warm welkom, de grote mooie huisje op het meer. Het was geweldig! Alles was er, van hout voor de open haard, tot zelfs eieren en melk in de ochtend! Immers, zelfs als we hadden een aantal slechte weer, was het een fantastisch verblijf en een gebied. Het gebied biedt een paar goede plaatsen om een drankje of eten. Er zijn meerdere plaatsen waar je kunt wandelen of een bezoek aan een mooi kasteel. Dus ga en ervaar het zelf.

Had a lovely stay in Castlepollard on the shore of Lake Derryvarragh. Cottage was very cozy and comfortable and John and Clarissa made us feel very welcome, with the fire set and some basic foods left for us. It was a lovely peaceful weekend

John's place is real hidden gem. It is the perfect spot if you just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Ireland. The guesthouse is superclean, spacious and John is a great host. The place is located next to a lake and hills, you can use a nice tennis court and it is not far to the next village. Definitely one of the nicest places I have ever stayed at. Highly recommended!

John and Clarissa made us feel very welcome, the home was comfortable and spacious and give us amazing views each morning. Kids loved the tennis courts and the walk to the lake, lots of fresh air and opportunity to burn off energy. Lighting the fire at night was a real treat. Fresh eggs from their chickens were lovely for our breakfast. The house was easy to find and well placed for lots of local activities. John was really helpful prior to our arrival making the trip much more straightforward. As I have family in the region I will be back to visit and will definitely stay here again. If he'll have us!!

It's not very often in an entire lifetime do you find a place away from home that truly feels like home. But here we found it! There was nothing about our stay at the Lough Bishop House that wasn't perfect. Helen and Christopher are some of the nicest and friendliest people you will ever meet. We had the most wonderful and interesting conversation while warming ourselves by the fire the night we arrived. We learned so much. Their Farm is absolutely gorgeous. And the breakfast, o that breakfast, what I wouldn't give for a breakfast like that everyday! Mostly everything was homemade or grown on their farm. It was wonderful! The whole experience was awesome! I wish we could have stayed there a whole week. If you are in the Castlepollard area and looking for a place to stay, you absolutely must stay here. This is truly Ireland at its best!

Sarah and Brian made us feel very welcome at the log cabin. We had a fantastic few days there, beautiful location, amazing view and the most authentic log cabin we've ever seen. We'll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful weekend at the log cabin. Sarah and Brian were extremely helpful and welcoming. The cabin and the views were beautiful and the lake is within throwing distance. There's nothing quite like sitting around a fire and looking up at the stars before heading into the cabin with a candle lit lantern. The cabin was lovely and cosy, and we spent much of the time around the camp fire, going for walks and fishing out on the lake. Exploring the lake and reed beds by boat was such a joy. Will definitely be back again.

Tutto ciò che riguarda il fine settimana è stato perfetto! I padroni di casa erano incantevoli per affrontare e ha attraversato tutti i dettagli con grande cura. La cabina ha fornito lo spazio ideale per il riposo e il relax. Non avendo l'elettricità ha reso tutto il meglio. Il lago e la campagna circostante sono stati sorprendenti da esplorare. Lo consiglio vivamente per chi vuole un semplice e di nuovo al modo di base di vivere. Ci torneremo senza dubbio essere di nuovo!

A beautiful cabin, perfect for a weekend of walking, reading and peaceful relaxtion. Having access to a row boat was a great bonus. Beautiful views and well stocked with all that is needed for a back to basics weekend. Some beautiful walking spots within a 40 minute drive.

Wenn ich 6 Sterne für diesen Ort geben könnte ich würde! Absolutely stunning Hand geschnitzt Haus, in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Ein perfektes Stück Paradies für diejenigen, die von allem wegzukommen zu schätzen wissen. Dies wird ein regelmäßiges Wochenende für uns wird, wir waren total begeistert!

Arrivati a un caloroso benvenuto da Brian e una introduzione alle gioie della cabina di log da lui stesso costruito. Tutto era come pubblicizzato solo meglio ei bambini (12 e 10) aveva una favola. Dalla porta corno corno maniglie per tagliare la propria legna per sedersi in veranda ammirando il paesaggio del lago è un'esperienza indimenticabile. Grazie Brian e Sarah.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in der Kabine! Es hat unsere Erwartungen völlig übertroffen! Die Aussicht war wunderschön und die Hütte war wirklich gemütlich. Sarah und Brian hat uns absolut alles, was wir brauchten, werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder!

Die Kabine wurde genau wie in der Werbung, die wirklich sehr schön. Die Toilette und Kochgelegenheiten sind im Freien, aber bedeckt, kann auch in der regen können Sie durch bekommen. Nizza historische Gegend, die wir vorher nicht bereiste hatten. Sein Es ist ziemlich viel eine Camping-Erfahrung, aber mit einem Dach!

These cottages are fabulous they are decorated and furnished to a high standard with a very homely feel to them. Sheila is a lovely lady who went an extra mile to make our stay special. Would highly recommend.

On our trek through Ireland County Meath was a special surprise. What a beautiful setting! Green hills, many lakes and near the historic cairns. Jill is extremely welcoming, gave good tips and could make our way around the area. Highly recommended if you like authentic places!

Nous avons passé une nuit dans la maison de Carmel en Avril, nous étions 9 Français. Elle nous amène de la gare à sa maison, il était si gentil! Ensuite, elle nous montre sa maison et la maison est immense, bien décorée, propre, et les chambres sont incroyables! Les 6 chambres sont toutes avec une salle de bains indépendantes et il y a vraiment grand. la maison de Carmel à conclure est parfait pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille, car il y a beaucoup d'espace et la maison et le jardin sont magnifiques. Merci Carmel pour votre gentillesse et pour le très bon accueil, je recommande la maison pour tous ceux qui veulent passer une belle fin de semaine sur le côté ou vacances pays dans un quartier paisible. En outre, la maison est à seulement 1h de train du centre-ville de Dublin et seulement 10 minutes de voiture de la gare, donc même si elle est à la campagne, il est vraiment accessible. Merci encore Carmel, Meilleurs vœux Pierre

The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We have just returned from an amazing Hen do at The Victorian Escapades and a sleepover at Carmel's place, it was faultless, Carmel was an exceptional host, nothing was too much bother, the communication before hand was great and every detail from mini bus hire to the Escapades (which we thoroughly enjoyed, much recommended) to early check in was dealt with. The attention to detail from the flowers and chocolates and wine for our Hen, to the slippers and Breakfast were such lovely touches. It was so nice to return somewhere we could all sit comfortably in the one space, and we very much enjoyed a leisurely breakfast all together before heading off the next day. It was ideal, and I would 100% recommend both.

Carmel made us feel extremely welcome by being very accessible at all times. She is one of the most amazing people we have ever met. Even before we arrived she was very responsive and answered all questions and concerns. Once we arrived she greeted us, and made sure we had everything we needed. She even went out of her way for activities for children and showed them around the property. She made the children games and activities. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had absolutely the best vacation ever with our families and friends. We took lots of pictures and made a lot of memories. I highly recommend this property.

Nous étions un groupe de 8 filles qui ont séjourné ici pour un week-end de poule. Carmel était un hôte fantastique et est allé au-dessus et au-delà. Elle a fait l'organisation de la poule tellement plus facile pour moi et sortit de sa façon de nous aider à organiser une classe de Bokwa qui était beaucoup de plaisir et nous a laissé beaucoup de nourriture et des friandises. La maison est fantastique, très spacieuse et propre. Carmel avait même des articles de toilette de rechange en cas nous avons oublié quelque chose. Je ne pense pas qu'elle aurait pu faire plus pour rendre notre week-end très agréable.

Carmelo fue el mejor anfitrión que nadie podía tener. Ella nos recibió con un montón de detalles bonitos navidad y aunque era navidad ella hizo todo lo posible para que nuestra estancia sea especial y único. Mostró a los animales a nuestros pequeños y lo hizo un muy divertido momento fuera de él.

Carmel is a great hostess. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. The house is wonderful and spacious and is especially suitable for large groups. Carmel made sure that we had everything that we needed. The refrigerator and pantry were stocked with all sorts of food options. She even made us Irish coffee and sang for us!

Friedlich, erholsamen Aufenthalt, Carmel sehr freundlich, schönes Haus, viel Nachschub für das Frühstück.

Lovely isolated place out in the countryside with lots to explore in the vicinity including lougcrew cairns.

Der Ort ist ebenso aufgelistet. Erstaunlich. Schön. Nun uns aus Amerika waren nicht die Richtung zu verwenden, ohne Zahlen, sondern in Irland Fred Ort hat noch keine Nummer. Es mag ein wenig verwirrend, wenn Sie nicht verwenden werden, es aber sein Richtungen sind eigentlich perfekt für die beschreiben, wie man dorthin kommt. Versuchen Sie nicht, auf einem GPS-Relais. Wenn Sie mich und meine Tante kam Fred begrüßte uns und zeigte uns den Platz. Auch hatte ein paar Snacks zu uns sowie Broschüren für Orte, für uns zu besuchen begrüßen. Es ist ein Bauernhof, sofern Sie Probleme mit Tieren und Fred bot uns eine Tour, obwohl Zeit erlaubte uns nicht, um wirklich den Ort zu erkunden und es gibt einige freundliche Hunde, die eine Menge Lärm machen Sie nicht, sondern sind so nett. Wir hatten einige Probleme mit unserer Wi-Fi und Fred und seine Familie, wenn wir ihn wissen lassen, versucht zu helfen (nicht sicher, ob es nur unsere Telefone oder eine Einstellung Problem, aber es nie ganz für uns. Aber sie versuchte. Lol) danke für das Hosting von uns. Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt, würde defiently empfehlen und wieder hier übernachten.

Fred was a fantastic host. We arrived late in the day and Fred was there to accommodate us. He showed us around the property and how to work everything that we might have been unfamiliar with. There were numerous brochures, maps and info at the property for a wide variety of things to do in the area. Fred was very easy to communicate with. Prior to our arrival, he was very quick with answering our messages and since it is a working farm, he was never too far away in case you need him (we didn't need to, but it was great to have that ease of mind) The actual apartment was fantastic. Nice open layout, everything you could ever need and more. Fred left us some snacks and fresh fruit as well as some sheep cheese and offered us to just knock if we needed anything. There was a great little kitchen that we used to prepare a meal, and the living room had a TV with some channels and a DVD player with some movies. The instructions were easy to follow. There is a nice little pub in the village not too far from the property. Overall a fantastic experience that I would 100 percent recommend to friends and family and 100 percent would return to.

A lovely working farm. The renovated barn is exquisetely done with lovely floor heating. I slept well and enjoyed lounging over tea before starting my day out. It was hard to leave this farm and this family. A truly delightful stay, I hope to return in the near future. Fred gave me free roam of his farm and I found appx 30 species of birds!!

Lovely cottage with a lot of space, excellent amenities and in a beautiful location. Would highly recommend.

I had an amazing time at Fred's. There was a beautiful care package of homemade goods on my arrival and the house was lovely and toasty. The property is exactly as described and although it is a bit far out it gives you a really great Irish experience with all the comforts of home. Fred's family is wonderful and welcoming including the two beautiful dogs. I recommend for anyone who wants a true Irish escape!

We enjoyed meeting Fred and our stay in Rathowen. The rustic cottage is spacious and comfortable and the rural setting very quiet.

Everything was grand - not least the lovely home-made brown bread with butter and marmalade on the side all set and ready! Gracious and attentive host(s) who have just the measure of being there without intruding!

Pain fait maison à l'arrivée et l'aide avec contact téléphonique pour le taxi

This was such a brilliant experience! I booked it for my 15 work colleagues as a work retreat and they had so much fun. The adventure park went down really well and the venue was accommodating and easy to work with.

Very good
