We loved our time at her property and would stay again. ##### John L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret W. 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely lovely spot We could not have loved this property more! Beautiful setting, lovely home, it had everything we wanted and needed for our stay near Ballylongford. Super convenient location for trips to Ballybunion and the Dingle peninsula as well as Killarney. ##### Margaret W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Interesting property, attached to an OLD castle, and another in walking distance. We did have a problem with the shower and the host was able to get it. Replaced within 48 hours, but it was incredibly inconvenient and disappointing. Limited our ability to travel for one and a half days. The Internet is slow and intermittent, but we didn’t really need it other than for basic communications. The TV and streaming apps simply paused, didn’t work Consistently throughout our trip. However, the property is beautiful and the home is well-maintained other than what I outlined above ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian C. 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Very enjoyable stay in a lovely area. We found great difficulty dealing with Vrbo on a number of aspects and would not recommend them to any other potential user of their services. However, the owner of the property, when we did managed to make contact with her, was a very pleasant and cooperative lady. ##### Brian C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel & Leisure Club Sligo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Leisure-Club-Sligo.h1194108.Hotel-Information) > > [Hillgrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaghan-Hotels-Hillgrove-Hotel.h521923.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenmare-Hotels-Kenmare-Bay-Hotel-Resort.h33762809.Hotel-Information) > > [River Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castleisland-Hotels-River-Island-Hotel.h4238844.Hotel-Information) > > [Killarney Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney-Hotels-Killarney-Court-Hotel.h33761959.Hotel-Information) > > [Kee's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Kees-Hotel-Wellness-Centre.h4902351.Hotel-Information) > > [Killashee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naas-Hotels-Killashee-Hotel.h908930.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Ard na Sidhe Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maum-Hotels-Ard-Na-Sidhe-Country-House-Hotel.h522204.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Ashe-Hotel.h12803356.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [Parknasilla Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sneem-Hotels-Parknasilla-Resort-And-Spa.h15911.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rose Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Rose-Hotel.h1682727.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor West Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Manor-West-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h4593837.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnolds Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Arnolds-Hotel.h527334.Hotel-Information) > > [O'Connors Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cloghane-Hotels-OConnors-Guesthouse.h45432186.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Redcastle Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moville-Hotels-Redcastle-Hotel.h1538640.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullingar-Hotels-Bloomfield-House-Hotel.h1057525.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Castlerosse Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney-Hotels-Castlerosse-Park-Resort.h1216394.Hotel-Information)
