    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Rosemary - Verified booking

      Had a wonderful holisay.

      The cottage is really great and ideal for 2 couples. Very comfortable and right in the middle of the beautiful Connemara countryside. The one negative thing I have to say and that is why I didn't give full marks for the accuracy listing is that putting " Cashel" on the address really confused us. We took the oad which was signposted "Cashel" and spent over an hour going up and down it, taking the little roads going off it and never finding the cottage. I eventually got through to the owner , as the phone kept breaking up, who kindly put us on the right track. The cottage is nearer to Carna and that is where I should have headed to and not Cashel. Probably the address is fine if you have a satellite system but we didn't. Anyway, apart from that it was an immensely enjoyable week

Words just cant do justice to how much we enjoy staying at this beautiful cottage year after year. Thank you stuart and Sally again for allowing us to stay at your lovely cottage, my family and I very much look forward to our next stay.

      The holiday cottage was exactly what my sister and I were looking and hoping for.

      Our host was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed to make us comfortable away from home. We had my dog with us and Mary Theresa was amazing with her especially as she had the use of her garden. It was important to me that my dog was also very welcome. We would recommend anybody using this cottage for their holiday if they need to stay in the Tipperary area. They made us feel very welcome and the cottage was incredibly clean and tidy with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. We would definitely return if we were in that area again. Thank you Mary Theresa and Tom xx

      Very convenient location to town centre.

      An interesting and historical town on your doorstep and good centre for touring the area .Cong was particularly picturesque and worthwhile We drive an electric car and there was a charger in the close by Supermarket car park. Good parking there too but you need to pay daily 30cper hour .Enclosed secure back yard ideal with water supply and hose ideal for keeping our dog .Lovely near by river walk to exercise him. The house was very well equipped and warm. Pictures on site accurate. Only minor complaint,the settee in the lounge area is not very comfortable.Otherwise I would fully recommend.

    • Brigitte - Verified booking

      I'm french, so please excuse my english :) We didn't have a nice welcoming from the owners.

      The house was cold when we arrived, and still cold next morning.The owners warm the house at the time they want. After having a "hard"conversation, they let us manage for the heating of the house (remember : All fuel and power inc. in rent). No curtains, and just in front of the living room is the owners's living room where they spend time looking at you !! We definitively never go back to that place. I just want to say that we are a french couple and we go few times a year in houses we book in uk, ireland, so on. And it is the first time we have so bad owners.
