Great and well suit up for a group!
4.1
Great quiet location, yet only a short walk away from both Bernie’s Pub & the Shannon river. The house is well proportioned with plenty of living space. It did not feel cramped for 9 people.
Minor complaint was it being advertised with Wi-Fi and TV. But none on site. We had already read the reviews and prepared for both. So it did not affect our stay.

Lovely decorated house with lots of space for all of us (family of 9) pub and walkway 2mins away. 5min drive to local village and 15mins from carrick on Shannon.
Very little downside but would be nice to have aTV and microwave, also a few more knives be handy for dinner 🥰

I couldn't fault the hen house at all. Spotless clean beds very comfortable
4.1
The Hen House was in a beautiful quiet location. The local pub was a minutes walk away and the pub restaurant was fantastic. It was only a 15 minutes walk into the local village which had a few shops, supermarket and four pubs all serving food as well.
There could have been an information pack at the property to tell you a little bit about the property, facilities and local area.
4.1
Lovely quiet location and spacious for a large family
No WiFi and no TV. Water temperature and power in the showers could be better
4.1
Lovely spacious house well located; just outside Leitrim village and approx 10 mins drive from Carrick an Shannon. House is private with a big garden.
From the point of view of being a family with small children I would not return to this house. It's a pity because a few small adjustments would make it more family/children friendly.
No TV ( not specified when booking)
Fridge is too small for hse capacity/no freezer
No dryer/ line and or clothes horse
The standard of cleanliness was not satisfactory..it looked like the house was given a quick clean! On arrival couches had foot prints on them. In my opinion house needs a good deep clean.

Lovely host and great location for exploring area
4.1
5 Bedrooms.
Quad room for the teenagers was great.
Plenty of hot water.
Short walk to nearby pub. A nice 1k walk into Leitrim village, footpath most of the way.
Nearby pub (owners of home) very good for food and drink.
Right alongside the shannon blueway/canal lock at battlebridge (house is not in carrick on shannon...), nice walks/hiking trails from there, as well as cruiser navigation.
15 mins from Lough Key and 10 mins from Lough Allen.
House was not clean at all, spend two hours cleaning when we arrived. Whilst the person accepting payment handed us back €40 when we told them of the time spent cleaning, they did not seem interested in what the issues were, so will list them here. When moving a sofa chair found leftovers of a recent hen night - confetti, false nails, props, broken plates, spilled drink stains etc (hard to explain one item to a 7 year old). Sliding patio door and frame covered in black mold. More false nails found upstairs under a bed. Dust everywhere. Bathroom mirrors and showers not cleaned properly. Toilet brushes manky and covered in tissue paper. Broken glass pieces outside front door. We choose not to use cooker or microwave as not clean. We could not use the BBQ as previous guests used it as an ashtray.
House had lots of missing/not working lights/bulbs, whilst it didn't affect us directly, we would expect them to be working.
We had read the reviews, and the house looked very promising from the pics, but it failed to deliver on cleanliness. This property has huge potential, with lovely quirky things around the house, just get a proper cleaning and maintenance schedule in place. And please put good quality bed linen on the beds - one thin sheet between the mattress and the sleeper is not good.

The hen house is beautiful. Each room has its own wee touch its so cute.
There are 3 bathrooms.
There is a bbq and brilliant outdoor seating area.
Its cute and perfect for any stay
We had kids and they loved it. We were a short distance to a love pub and theor food was gorgeous and then another walk to a wee town with a garage and a few other pubs. Quick drive takes you into carrick on shannon for bigger stores etc. Thank yoi for having us xx
4.1
The property was spacious, the garden was big, it was easy to access and the host was helpful and responding to the messages in a good time. The place was nice for a private holiday and the area was beautiful.
The only 2 things I have to mention is that the fridge is too small for 12 people and it wasn’t working well so food was gone as we stayed for 2 days.
The other thing is that in the description it said 2 of the bedrooms has one single and 1 bunk bed (sleeps 3)but we only found 2 singles in one of the rooms so there were one bed missing. It wasn’t a big problem but just want to mention this for the future.
4.1
Plenty of space and a good base for travelling around.
The toilet seat was missing from the down stairs toilet which was not good with small kids. The kitchen was very dirty, the floors were sticky and I had to wash them with no mop provided, the dishes in the cupboards had old food on them and the sink was filthy.
4.1
Excellent service/accommodation.
