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 ### 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Skryne Castle Built in 1142](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skryne-Hotels-Skryne-Castle-Built-In-1142.h35803840.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Blasket Island Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Blasket-Hotels-Great-Blasket-Island-Accommodation.h42059629.Hotel-Information) > > [Nesbitt Arms Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardara-Hotels-Nesbitt-Arms-Boutique-Hotel.h15521231.Hotel-Information) > > [Wildwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Wildwood-Lodge.h23322687.Hotel-Information) > > [Blackstairs Shepherds Huts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackstairs-Shepherds-Huts.h95751793.Hotel-Information) > > [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) > > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Central.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Talbot Hotel Clonmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonmel-Hotels-Clonmel-Park-Hotel.h7049246.Hotel-Information) > > [Ghan House Carlingford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Ghan-House-Carlingford.h41972370.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rose Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-Rose-Hotel.h1682727.Hotel-Information) > > [The James Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tralee-Hotels-The-James-Hotel.h106322730.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Borough by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Old-Borough-By-Wetherspoon.h49171932.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [The Black Sheep Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killarney-Hotels-The-Black-Sheep-Hostel.h37930944.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliffe at the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Cliffe-At-The-Quay.h104426642.Hotel-Information) > > [Airport View Hotel & Secret Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusk-Hotels-Airport-View-Hotel-Secret-Spa.h1527144.Hotel-Information) > > [St Angela’s Lakeside Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-ST-ANGELAS-LUXURY-APARTMENTS.h39222224.Hotel-Information) > > [Malin Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malin-Hotels-Malin-Townhouse.h42005430.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > > [Killaloe Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killaloe-Hotels-The-Killaloe-Hotel.h15821471.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmullin-Hotels-Druids-Glen-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h853698.Hotel-Information) ---
