Location was perfect for us; just a two night stay, we were attending a family wedding in Dublin one hour away with the reception in Poulaphouca House 5 minutes away. House was well provisioned with everything you could possibly need for a stay; beds were comfy and, once we got the electric heating on, the rooms were cosy (just keep doors closed as this was march and there was no heat source for the hall and stairs). We weren't in the house long enough to enjoy the open fire.

Parking is an issue, we were lucky the second night and were able to park outside the house. While you're never more than 2 - 3 minutes from the house it's a problem when you're carrying bags while it's pelting rain. The shower in the top bedroom was very compact, the other two seemed fine.

We brought our own food.

It took a while to get the house warm.

It was a lovely lil house the owners left out some KitKat's and added some amazing small details such as a bow on the door and just made it very special

Nothing was amazing

We liked having three ensuite bathrooms. The location is slightly remote so we would have liked a pint of milk in the fridge on arrival. However, the personnel in the hotel were very helpful. The house was cold when we arrived but there was plenty of electric heating available at the property.

There was plenty of hot water for the showers. However there is no pressure in the cold water so when the water temperature is good for a shower, the pressure is not so good. Also two of the shower cubicles are very small.

location. Hotel next door had great food but was not even mentioned in info at house.

The house was not clean.

Location great

Good communication from Lisa, straight forward check in/check out. House was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. 3 double bedrooms, all with en-suite.

Being honest, the parking was a nightmare, it was literally a free for all. No designated parking spaces, cars from other houses abandoned across the front of the house. We had to park at the bottom where the entrance to the street is and walk up and down. Not ideal for those who may be less mobile.

The location is fantastic, and the house is very comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay. There is lots to do in the area and plenty of nice places to eat.

On arrival we found the house not to be cleaned properly, so I messaged the owner who explained that her usual cleaner wasn't available and so she had to get a replacement cleaner at short notice. She apologised that the house wasn't cleaned to her expectations and offered us 2 free nights in the house to make up for the inconvenience (unfortunately I don't think we'll be able to avail of that kind offer). Also, the toilet in the attic bathroom had a very slow flush, so for most part we used the other 2 bathrooms. Also, the water fluctuated from scalding hot to freezing cold in the showers, so it was a case of in and out of the shower in super-fast time.

Noting really everything was grand 😊

Location was perfect for attending a family wedding at hotel

The smell of smoke throughout the property. Even on bedlinen. Water was scalding hot and electric shower didn't work great.

Lovely cosy cottage, very well equipped for cooking and relaxing. Really comfortable beds, all ensuite rooms. Perfect location close to the city, perfect for touring the lakes and mountains. Impressive 90s/00s cd and dvd collection.

Parking was challenge as no driveways. There were issues with temperature control on 2 showers.

Beautiful location and wonderful host in a very scenic location. The house is very cosy (especially the living room), hope to be back again. Thank you, Lisa!!

The house is lovely decorated, very very clean/tidy, WiFi, small garden and the house has a fireplace, which was really nice. It has plenty of space for up to 5 people. There were also some fruits, water, tea and coffee for the first day. At the entrance was a stand with leaflets of attractions, restaurants and parks. The location is perfect for visiting the national park near by. Parking is on street or at the parking lot near by. Lisa was really kind and helpful. I tally can recommend to stay there.

location and beds were very comfortable

Some bits need a refurbishment

The location was great if you have a car and the house was also family friendly which was great.

I particularly didn't like the attitude of the host when we initially raised a problem with the showers which were coming out cold water, rather than us trying to find a solution she became defensive about a situation we were experiencing as the people on ground. And the WiFi was not working.

It was self catering so we made our own breakfast. Great facilities, an owner who thought of everything. The little treats that were left were a lovely touch. The whole place was immaculate and perfect.

Hard to pick anything to be honest but if I was to say something it would be that the fridge did smell a bit. It was perfectly clean just not sure where the smell was coming from, just something to look into.

Misleading as no access to lake due to golf course and no view of lake

Cold tap not working in front bedroom and no plug. Unable to work TV and no instructions obvious. Initially house felt cluttered and we had to clear and clean to create space. The air fresheners felt overpowering so these were placed in cupboard under stairs during our stay.

It was a beautiful house very well equipped and I would highly recommend a stay in this house
