    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Tammy - Verified booking

      Dromore Cottage is spacious and airy and set in beautiful grounds in a lovely location.

      Mrs Dowd was very prompt at meeting us and showing us around the property. The use of the Aga in the kitchen was to heat water for baths and washing up and we were asked not to meddle with it. The heating was insufficient, mornings were very cold as were the end part of the evening. The beds are very uncomfortable and the duvets/covers smelt musky. The cottage smells damp as soon as you open the front door, which I imagine is due to insufficient heating. Despite our best efforts we could not find the BBQ which we were looking forward to using when we had our family come and visit. We had to settle for a take away. There are two door keys on the keyring provided. One opened the front door, the other didn't seem to fit anywhere which meant we had no way of unlocking the door to the rear of the property. We didn't need to use it in the end, however, I would suggest that this is a hazard in case of a fire in the property. There were two hand towels provided for our use in the bathroom, whilst we are not 'big' people, a hand towel is never going to be adequate for drying after a shower. We located towels in the hallway cupboard and found two slightly larger ones. The two bins in the kitchen are for clean plastic/paper and the other for metal/tin. There was no bin for food scraps or general waste. The property is lacking in maintenance and comfort. The toilet doesn't flush properly and many of the windows are locked or the handles are broken. There were no batteries in the TV remote and a couple of light fittings are missing light bulbs. Dromore has the potential to be a wonderful place to stay but needs a large dose of love and attention.

      The experience was beyond amazing!

      Just returned from Ireland with a family of 16 plus 3 toddlers. The experience was beyond amazing! Orla and her staff were there to attend to our every need. We shopped in Macroom and cooked our own meals in their gourmet kitchen. There are 8 equally gorgeous bedrooms, all en-suite, a gigantic kitchen, dining room, family space with a gigantic fireplace. The grounds have original cottage-like outbuildings with a river running through the front of the property. The kids loved the Bell which we all couldn’t resist ringing. In the evening, cows meandered to the front of the property, mooing contentedly as we watched the sunset. There is also a formal parlor with an awesome grand piano and separate billiard room which got some use as well. About 25 minutes outside of Blarney, it was a nice drive to Blarney Castle for a day trip but we enjoyed all just hanging out together as a family, we opted to stay for an extra day just to enjoy the Castle even more. Was the highlight of my family vacation

      Excellent!

      We rented County Meath Castle for our 15 anniversary of family vacations. The Castle was fabulous, perfect to accommodate our party of 16. The kids had a ball between the great room, the patios, the dining halls, and so many sitting areas we'd find ourselves hanging out in different parts of the castle and addition at all times of day. The grounds and courtyard were equally terrific. We took advantage of the concierge service by having a chef cooked and served dinner, a limo driver who took us for a tour of sites through the Boyne Valley, and a professional photographer who did a fabulous job recording our vacation. We had to postpone the vacation three times because of the pandemic, quarantine, and a family health emergency and Oliver's Travels was gracious and understanding in granting our request. I couldn't be more satisfied with the way we were treated and would recommend Oliver's Travels to any traveler.

      Our stay was nothing short of magical.

      Our group of 8 adults and 5 kids fit perfectly with extra room! Each area of this home was well thought out and decorated beautifully. No fighting over bedrooms as each is just as beautiful as the last. The kitchen and butlers kitchen has everything you need. The common area is large enough to accommodate our large group to eat and hang out together. We enjoyed nights in the drawing room and game room each night! The grounds are just as amazing and we even enjoyed touring the Finnvale Castle with Orla! The house is remote enough to unwind in the Irish countryside for a few days but close enough to town for groceries and exploring County Cork. Orla and Sandy are very knowledgeable about area and all that it has to offer. We had one small plumbing issue that was remedied immediately. Our family made memories to last a lifetime that we will truly treasure! Thanks Orla and her team for allowing us to stay!
