Can’t begin to describe how wonderful this cottage is. Peaceful, beautiful, felt like home. Theresa was an awesome host, the tea and scones upon our arrival were totally unexpected. If you’re coming to Limerick County, look no farther.

Great place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sporting Lodge! The hosts met us with keys, a tour, and homemade scones! It was perfect for our family of 6 to have a home base while exploring southwest Ireland for a few days.

Quaint country home

Enjoyed our stay in the country. We stayed 3 days and toured the surrounding area from the cliffs of moher to ring of Kerry. Rooms and beds very comfy and shower warm and good pressure. It took some learning to get the hang of the water/shower system in Ireland so written notes would be helpful. Didn’t use washer and dryer since confusing how to use. Loved the cows! Very fun to watch.

Beautiful Property in a Lovely Location

My wife and I had the pleasure of introducing Ireland to her parents by staying at Theresa's beautiful home. There were fresh baked scones, butter, jam and milk on arrival which was very welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped for a fabulous stay. I would highly reccomend a visit! Thank younTheresa, we hope to come again soon!

Sporting Lodge Review

Perfect in every way. If you’re debating where to stay, this is the place. Wonderful house and we were traveling with two teenagers and a nine year old. They loved it as did my wife and I. Owners were great people!! Place was spotless and the town of Adare was a short drive away and a wonderful small town w great restaurants and delightful pubs. Can’t wait to go back!

Golden in Shanagolden

My husband and I enjoy quiet properties with good opportunities for walks. Having stores and a great restaurant within walking distance is even better. This property had all that and more. Views on all sides, quiet and so comfortable. Theresa is a great host... It took us no time to feel right at home. Be sure to visit The Stand for a tasty meal and entertainment. This is a five star property and we'll return as soon as we get the chance.

Adorable Clean Country House

This house was the perfect choice for our group of five. We loved the convenience of having two and half bathrooms and a clothes washer and dryer. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and farm surroundings. The owner had baked fresh scones and left milk in the fridge for our arrival. She also responded to a few questions we had promptly throughout our stay.

Perfect for peace and quiet

We had a great stay at Sporting Lodge. Theresa and Kevin are great hosts, maintaining great communication and making us feel very welcome indeed. The property is very spacious and well equipped. It's in a quiet, rural location within very easy reach of lots of wonderful places to visit. We had trips to Counties Cork, Clare and Kerry as well as Dublin. And County Limerick itself has beautiful countryside and welcoming people. We really did feel very at home. We thought that Sporting Lodge was very good value and would recommend it without hesitation.

The Perfect Family Getaway

My family just enjoyed a lovely 2 week-long stay at Theresa and Kevin’s property - my only complaint about the experience is that it came to an end! The home is situated in peaceful country surrounds, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy some quiet, quality time away with family. The location is a great jumping off point and within reasonable driving distance of many of the West Coast “must-see sights.” (Car is a must!) The property is beautifully maintained and the hosts could not be more helpful or gracious. Theresa would respond without fail to any questions or concerns during the full length of our stay. Beds and linens were comfortable and cozy which was a treat after long days spent adventuring. Clean and spacious home with fenced in garden checks all the boxes for a lovely family holiday. If you are considering spending yours here, do not hesitate to book! Very much hoping to return ourselves in the future!

A wee gem of a place

Beautiful, quaint country house with some original pieces in it ( cast iron stove/oven, for one). If you're looking for modern, it ain't that. Rooms are fairly small, which adds to the charm . Very quiet area with cows as neighbors. Great location between Cliffs of Moher and Dingle and Ring of Kerry. Convenience store/gas station just a few miles away Just the type of experience we were looking for, and to top it off, we arrived to tea and coffee service with scones laid out for us. House is gorgeous and we were so warmly welcomed.

Very peaceful

This lodge was located in a peaceful great location to access many different sites. We visited Killarney, The Ring of Kerry, Adare, Bunratty, and Knockpatrick Gardens (these are really close and private gardens so call before you go). Our hosts were so welcoming and even gave us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Communication was excellent and we were able to easily find the property using google maps.

We lucked out by finding this place!

This farm home is a gem! The rural location was perfect for us. We made day trips and went back home for peace and quiet. Theresa was very prompt in getting back to us...especially on the day we locked the house key inside! Very clean and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. There is a great restaurant within a couple miles. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic house

Beautiful, comfortable house close to everything but quiet & relaxing. Myself, my husband, our 2 children boy 13 & girl 9, my dad & our 1&1/2yr old pup had an absolute brilliant time. Felt so safe & had everything we needed, very central for things to do, all within 40 mins /1hr drive. Then a lovely lady in the next house down May has a donkey who loves being petted. May is a lovely lady who took my daughter to pet Bess the donkey, she loved it. Absolutely beautiful, friendly people all around Shannagolden. Would definitely recommend this house we will definitely be back.
