Perfect House for Family Trip.

From the very beginning this was a wonderful stay! The house had everything we needed for a family get away. You cannot pick a more beautiful location as a home base while traveling around. Our son loved the game room and outside adventures. We can’t thank our hosts enough, especially for the little gifts for our boys, and would come back and stay in an instant.

Peaceful and good location

Monica and Sean are gracious and lovely hosts. They made our stay so comfortable. Glenview Lodge was the perfect location for our stay. Traditional Irish countryside with ease of access to great day trips (we went to Dingle, Killarney, Cork, the Cliffs of Moher, Limerick/Bunratty Castle, and one overnight in Galway, just to name a few stops). Close to our family as well. A wonderful stay with truly wonderful hosts. We can't wait to come back!!!! Thank you so much!

Lovely property and hosts

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Glenview Lodge very much. The house was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. It is in a calm and quiet area, with an amazing view. Just what we needed to come back to after each busy day exploring this beautiful area. During our stay we visited Cork, Kinsale and Killarney National Park. There are a few shops in Broadford and even a take away open late, which we took advantage of on one of the days we returned quite late. The hosts Monica and Sean were so nice and made us feel very welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we will definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to find ourselves in the area in the future.

Sean and Monica are wonderful hosts and accommodated all of our requests and were always available to answer any of our questions. A trip to Ireland would not be complete without a stay here!

Peace Profound

Glenview Lodge is a lovely property -and what a setting! Surrounded by trees and nothing but green fields beyond, the sense of tranquility was wonderful. Great for families with small children and adults (like us)escaping the city noise. The Lodge also offers good access to local attractions and some of the 'Big Sights' like Killarney and Dingle are all within reach for a grand day out. Our hosts were always contactable but there were absolutely no issues on out trip. Thank you Sean and Monica.

Sept visit to Broadford

It was so very peaceful and was a welcoming place after a long day of sightseeing. We had a fire every night and ate wonderful meals in the large, modern kitchen. We each had our own bathroom as well as one downstairs. We used the washer and dryer. Appreciated the coffee maker as well as the electric tea kettle and French press. The lproperty was so beautiful and quiet.

Best Part of our stay in Ireland!

It was so wonderful staying at Glenview Lodge. It was REAL IRELAND. The nearby local town, Foley's Pub and discussions with Sean, food from Monica and staying in her childhood farm house all set in the most beautiful country side I've ever seen was the most authentic part of our journey through Ireland ( 10 days we spent 5 at Glenview). It was a little off the beaten path but well worth it! The house was clean, with modern amenities and filled with warmest energy. I highly recommend you take advantage of the extras that Sean and Monica provide. My husband and I and daughters age 18 and 20 y give it 10 stars!!!! Thank you.

Peaceful and Charming

We were so excited to stay here, and it was even better than the pictures or description. It was a wonderful home base, but we also spent a day there, and it was one of our favorite days of our entire trip. The home is warm and charming, filled with history and little touches, like freshly picked flowers from the property and books on all things Irish, plus a detailed folder with info on the use of the property, etc. The property was so lovely....picturesque really. We took numerous photos of the property and our family on the property. The photos came out as if they were professionally taken. It's easy to take good photos when the landscape is so beautiful. My daughter said she felt like she couldn't take it all in because of how awesome it was. Sean spent time talking with us and telling us the most interesting stories, including Irish history. We loved hearing him talk, not just for his wonderful accent, but the knowledge and passion with which he spoke, made his stories captivating. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again.

Glenview Lodge was LOVELY!

Everything about our stay here was picture perfect. Monica and Sean were delightful hosts! Monica had left freshly baked soda bread for us and butter curls, milk and yogurt in the fridge and brought us a freshly made apple tart one evening - a true delight after a long day. The cottage itself was ideal. Glenview is a great name as it has a picture perfect setting and even a sweet Fairy Path outside. The grounds are lovely and large with plenty of space for kids to run around and even some playground equipment. It is also a wonderful place for adults to set outside and enjoy the view and the air. The cottage itself has a great layout with an updated kitchen and all the dishes, glasses and cooking utensils you could need along with a coffee maker and a press. The upstairs has, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and there is a half bath downstairs. There is even a washer in the pantry area and a dryer in one of the outside buildings that also houses a ping pong table and foosball table! The property has a rich history but all the modern touches you could want. It had all the things that make Ireland such a special place - great setting and hospitality!

lovely quiet escape

We stayed at Glenview Lodge for almost 2 weeks. We found the property to be perfect for a quiet getaway. It's up a secluded drive so we felt safe letting our kids run around the huge enclosed yard. They really enjoyed the swing set. The bedroom set up was comfortable for our family of five and the beds were comfy with nice bedding. The kitchen and living areas were good, though we missed having some basics available in the kitchen--salt/pepper, some olive oil. But we loved that Monica was kind enough to welcome us with a fresh baked loaf of bread. The living room has a nice fireplace to help warm up the downstairs when it's cold. Would have been nice to have a bigger rug in there to keep it a bit warmer--but there were blankets for us to cuddle up with at night. The place is about an hour's drive from many sights. Cork & Blarney Castle, an hour from Limerick and a bit over an hour to ring of kerry and wild atlantic way. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous and there are several local walks to do. We also loved the Saturday breakfast at Smithfield castle, just down the road. It sounds fancy but it was actually really accessible and great to take our kids to. We did most of our grocery shopping in New Castle west a slight larger town about 15 min drive. There's a wonderful health food store there called Sonas, plus some larger chain stores. And a great playground for the kids. It's definitely a more secluded area so if you want to be closer to a larger town, look elsewhere. We were okay doing 12 nites there, but we spent 2 of those nights closer to the ring of kerry and that felt about right for us. We also did Monica's homemade Irish stew which was fabulous. She baked more fresh bread for us to go with it along with a nice basket of scones for dessert. The only downside for me with that there is some mold growing in the master shower, probably nothing a bit of bleach or recaulking couldn't fix right up. Overall this was a lovely home in beautiful Ireland and we highly recommend it.

De woning heeft veel karakteristieke kenmerken met daarbij alle faciliteiten om het verblijf aangenaam te maken. Monica en Seán zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam, bij vragen snel te bereiken en hebben veel tips voor interessante plekken en gelegenheden in de omgeving. De omgeving is landelijk en rustig met meerdere wandelroutes in de directe omgeving. Een ideale locatie om Zuid-West Ierland (per auto) te verkennen vanaf een mooie plek.

Home from home

Location is remote, but we knew that and it didn't bother us at all. The house is in the middle of farmland, but while you're in the garden, you wouldn't really notice. The house has gardens around it that are well attended to. We found a fairy trail and our toddler loved saying hello to the fairies every day and saying goodbye on check out. There are numerous binders with local information are available for those interested. There is a leisure centre less than 15min away WLSC which we used every day of our stay. We generally book homestays as we have 2 small children. I always bring kitchenware from home because the knives are usually blunt, or there's no chopping boards, but there was no need here. Anything you could have wanted was available right down to washing powder. Lack of wifi wasn't much of an issue for us. It is stronger upstairs than downstairs. There are some DVDs and board games available and a games room in the other building. Overall we had a really lovely family break.
