This is a very special place. An atmosphere that promotes relaxation, conversations with new people, a communal breakfast dining experience that could easily eat up your mornings. The grounds are. Delight for walking around. Though still in the early stages as a stop over , this family home becomes your home for your entire stay. Beautiful. We will be back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 2 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hidden gem Loved my stay here, fantastic grounds and excellent accommodation, Only down point was could not get wifi. Would definitely book again ##### Richard Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### CM, USA 18 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities The location of the property is quite stunning. The ownership/management is a bit laid back when it comes to service. The room we had reserved in the river side "cottage" was just big enough to fit a queen size bed but not big enough to open our luggage. Since we were off season (October), and the only ones in the multi-room cottage, we opened our suite cases in the hallway and blocked any passage for others. Not kidding. We could have been upgraded to a room in the main house for a fee declared our host, but declined. Again, lovely place, lovely horse property, Irish lovely riverside location. Book the main house and be prepared to step back in time for a lovely estate stay. ##### CM Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Faithlegg Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faithlegg-Hotels-Faithlegg-Hotel.h919936.Hotel-Information) > > [Treacy's Hotel Waterford Spa & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterford-Hotels-Treacys-Hotel-Waterford-Spa-Leisure-Centre.h1615694.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) > > [Dooleys Hotel Waterford City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterford-Hotels-Dooleys-Hotel-Waterford-City.h1058236.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [The Granville Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterford-Hotels-The-Granville-Hotel.h13715.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterford Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterford-Hotels-Waterford-Marina-Hotel.h438903.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) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Letterkenny](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h972005.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dungarvan-Hotels-Park-Hotel.h1862703.Hotel-Information) > > [The Johnstown Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enfield-Hotels-The-Johnstown-Estate.h906965.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) > > [Cliff House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardmore-Hotels-Cliff-House-Hotel.h1853356.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [WHITES OF WEXFORD](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wexford-Hotels-Clayton-Whites-Hotel.h1639727.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullingar-Hotels-Bloomfield-House-Hotel.h1057525.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnolds Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Arnolds-Hotel.h527334.Hotel-Information)
