We had a very comfortable stay in this house, suited our needs perfectly. Walkable to marina/playgrounds/restaraunts. Nice green area outside where kids played.

The house is spacious, clean and cosy. In a great spot for exploring the surrounding area

A group of 10 of us stayed in Trish's lodge and we all fell in love with it immediately. The house was toasty warm when we arrived and there was some fire for the stove which made the lodge all the more cosy. The kitchen was well stocked which is always great when cooking for a big group. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. I have never before been sad to return to my own bed after staying away from home but the beds in Trish's lodge were like clouds!

Trish's lodge is in absolutely superb condition, so spacious and wonderful comfortable beds. It's in a perfect situation for access to all amenities in Portumna. The caretaker couldn't have been more helpful with everything, even leaving fresh milk and fuel/firelighters for the stove. No hesitation in recommending the Lodge to anyone.

My friends and I were really impressed, the house is lovely and spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

I rented this house with two friends and our children and it was ideal. There was a large green area to the side of the house and the children had plenty of room to play and because of the location of the green, we could see them from the house. The interior of the house was lovely and so clean. The town was only a few mins walk away and the forest near by was great for a walk too. I would highly recommend this house to anyone.

We stayed in Trish's house for 2 nights. We were 2 families with young kids and the house suited our needs perfectly - plenty of living and bedroom space, green space outside for the kids and nice decking around the house. Great location beside the town and forest park. Would definitely go back again.

The lodge was beatiful, clean and cosy. There was plenty of seating and we really loved the stove fire. Thanks for a great stay Trish!

Lovely stay in a super central spot,virtually in town but tucked away to ensure a quiet night too

We had a great stay at Mary's flat. The place is very clean and well organised. The location is perfect, you are just a few steps from the centre of the down where you can find cafes and restaurants. Mary gave us lots of information about the town and and was very kind and friendly. We really appreciate our stay. Thanks Mary!

I had a most wonderful stay at Mary's abode. The communication from the outset was excellent and her place is very easy to find with her very good directions. Mary is most welcoming and we sat and chatted for ages when I arrived and the tea was most welcome after a very long cycle in glorious sunshine. Facilities at Mary's are excellent, all is very clean and tidy with a most comfortable bed in a large ensuite room and great sunshine bursting into the room in the morning. It is in a very safe quiet locality and easy walking to local facilities which are excellent and Mary gave me 2 good directional maps. The wifi is excellent. Mary was also able to cater for my bicycle which was safely stored which for me is a number 1 priority. Mary is a lovely woman to stay with if you are in Portumna, we had some very good conversations on a variety of subjects. I would most certainly recommend her abode to any airbnb traveller. Mary thank you so much for you very generous hospitality.

Made to feel very welcome. House was in an ideal location. She had food ready for us when we arrived which was a lovely touch. She even gave my daughter a little present on our departure.

It was lovely as far as the bones, but no extras to make it comfortable. She was very gracious to offer a discount when I said it was only one person staying in a big place, but I was staying as it was closest to my Dad's house. But, she should have said it takes us two days to get house heated and ready and I would have stayed at the hotel I was staying at. I was freezing most of the time and would have left if not for a room heater I asked the sweet neighbor Mary for. There was nothing extra at all - no coffee or milk, etc. I have an Airbnb in America and they tell us to leave breakfast food and a House Manual with all of the instructions someone will need. I leave fruit and bread and coffee and tea and milk and cream and snacks and bottled water, etc so travelers feel welcomed and like after traveling, they don't have to rush out. The beds were comfortable enough and the bathrooms were clean, but the bath towels were not plush and soft. So, that is why I just am giving an okay rating. Nothing special or extra at all to give any more stars. Also, the wi-fi is at one end of house and so doesn't work in rest of house and so that was a pain. My phone wouldnt work in the bedroom. The living room furniture is not set up right so you are too far from fire and tv is too small for room. I had no key to open sun room door so couldn't even walk outside that way. Again, nice enough people but I didn't want to bug he neighbor to ask all of these questions. All instructions should be listed out on how to work everything and everything should be cleaned and heated and working so someone can fully enjoy this home. The dining chairs were so hard and I had to work at that table on my computer bcse no desk, and so that was not great. So I hope they improve as I was so miserable the whole time and paid a fortune. I could have stayed in the hotel I had been in that was much cheaper and that included breakfast and was warm and had a desk to work at. My bad for assuming they would have gone above and beyond after seeing the pictures of what looked like a beautiful home. Again, the host was gracious and the neighbor sweet who let me in, but the house was not well prepared or comfortable or warm - guess it takes two days to heat up - and nothing extra. My standards are high so take this into consideration. Hoping by this review they will step up their hospitality so they go above and beyond to make it comfortable and inviting.

Patricia ist eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns in dem freundlich eingerichteten 'Barn' sehr Wohlgefühlt. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr idyllisch, so dass man die Ruhe genießen kann. Nur zu empfehlen.

Wir haben zwei Nächte im absolut tollen Bloom Barn verbracht. Das zugehörige Cottage ist ab Carrigahorrig ausgeschildert und war gut zu finden. Da wir etwas Pech mit dem Wetter hatten, kamen wir vor unserer geplanten Ankunftszeit dort an. Patricia hat uns per airb´n´b kontaktiert, dass wir schon früher kommen könnnten. Danke nochmals! Der Barn selbst ist genau wie in den Fotos sehr geschmackvoll bis in das kleinste Detail eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Patricia hatte Kaffee und ein absolut großartiges Müsli für unser erstes Frühstück bereitgestellt. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt und den ersten Abend einfach lesend auf der Bank verbracht. Außerdem gibt es Brettspiele und diverse DVDs zum Zeitvertreib sowie Broschüren zur Umgebung, so dass man vom Barn aus wunderbar das County Tipperary erkunden kann. Die zwei Tage waren einfach zu kurz, denn man kann sich in der schönen Umgebung und dem heimeligen Barn super entspannen! Wir würden definitiv sofort noch einmal dort übernachten!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl in Patricias Bloom Barn gefühlt. Wie die Fotos es schon versprechen, wurde die Scheune mit viel Liebe zum Detail umgebaut und eingerichtet. Patrcia war sehr nett und unkompliziert. Ihre Hunde und insbesondere die zwei Esel waren uns gegenüber sehr freundlich und zutraulich. Wer Entschleunigung sucht findet sie genau hier.

Patricia war sehr freundlich hat auch sofort nach der buchung geantwortet. Das cottage war sehr liebevoll eingrichtet und sauber. Sehr Empfehlenswert

Unser Aufenthalt in der Bloom Barn war super schön! Man fühlte sich sofort zuhause. Die Bloom Barn ist total schön eingerichtet ( wie auf den Fotos zu sehen ), auch an der Ausstattung fehlte nichts... Von Bügel-eisen/Brett, Föhn, Handtücher, kleine Heizung, Raumentfeuchter über eine voll ausgestattete Küche, war alles da was man so braucht.. Patricia war eine nette Gastgeberin und wohnt gegenüber, sodass man bei Fragen jederzeit vorbeikommen konnte... Man hatte trotzdem seine volle Privatsphäre genießen können... Als wir ankamen, standen Blumen und ein frisches Brot auf dem Tisch... zudem gab es Müsli, Kaffee, Butter, Milch, Tee, Marmelade zu finden.. dafür das dies nicht inklusive ist, echt top! Die Barn liegt sehr Abseits gelegen, zum nächsten Ort (Portumna) sind es nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto, dort gibt es einen Aldi zum Einkauf von Lebensmitteln... Sehenswürdigkeiten sind von Corrigahorig aus mit dem Auto in gut ein bis zwei Stunden erreichbar... nach Killarney ist es jedoch etwas weiter zu fahren. Wir würden auf jedenfalls nochmals dort unseren Urlaub verbringen!! Einfach nur schön und weiterzuempfehlen!!

My wife and I stayed a week in bloom cottage and had an amazing time. It was extremely relaxing and peaceful. It had all the amenities you could ask for. No internet though. So be prepared. But when your staying in a place like Bloom Cottage, you won't need Internet. Patricia was a pleasure to communicate with and even provided us with a starter kit of bread, butter, tea, milk and coffee! Very clean and comfortable place for us to spend time in. Thanks so much Patricia!

10 out of 10 for a cosy weekend getaway. Lovely appartment, lovely gardens, great location for exploring the Lough Derg and Shannon area. Nearby Terryglass an ideal location for exploring the lake by Kayak or boat. A circuit of Lough Derg by car or bicycle is recommended also, taking in many lakeside towns and villages such as Portumna, Scarriff, Mountshannon, Killaloe\Ballina, Terryglass and lots more. Will be back again for sure.

C'est le plus beau logement que l'on a pu avoir avec mon copain pendant ce road trip ! Très mignon dans un style vintage comme on aime. Patricia est très gentille et accueillante. Je recommande sans aucun soucis.

Sehr geräumiges, schönes Ferienhaus in einer netten, kleinen Ortschaft. Es ist alles da und komfortabel. Die Umgebung ist sehr nett und für einen Sommerurlaub bei guten Wetter perfekt. Alan hat sehr unkompliziert und nett alles organisiert. Eine entspannte Zeit.

Even though the owners live far away from this property, everything went smoothly with the takeover. Big house for our family of four (especially large bedrooms and bathroom). Clean and tidy. Terryglass is not exactly a big place (two pubs, that's it!), so be prepared to travel a bit if you want to see things. But a good starting point to explore the west and middle of Ireland.

Myself and my friends had a lovely stay at Alans House in Terryglass. The house was as described and had all the essentials for our stay. We had a minor issue with the heading when we arrived, but Alan was very helpful and it was sorted out in no time. I would happily recommend Alan as a host.

Véritable havre de paix, la maison est très confortable et possède tout ce dont nous avons besoin. Nous y étions avec 2 enfants dont un en bas âge, et tout est vraiment très adapté. Alan est un très bon hôte, il répond rapidement si nous avons une question. Terryglass est une petite ville charmante, nous pouvons accéder au lac à pied, une jolie balade, nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour en Irlande, et comptons bien y revenir ;-)

La casa de l'Alan es fantastica!! Es molt comfortable, bonica i situada en un lloc molt tranquil. The Derg Inn Pub es un entranyable pub de poble, ideal per a connectar-se i beure una cervesa amb tranquilitat. Vam poder gaudir de musica en viu i la vetllada va ser deliciosa. Nosaltres vam fer servir casa de l'Alan com a campament base per a recorrer la costa oest d'Irlanda: des de Connemara fins The Ring of the Kerry. Tornavem al vespre i preparavem el sopar en la meravellosa cuina. Tot i que mai no vam veure l'Alan, ens va indicar a on podiem comprar i, encara que vam arribar molt tard el primer dia, ell ens va facilitar les coses en tot moment. Una delicia de casa i un fantastic amfitrio. Molt recomanable!!!

We loved our stay at Alan's bright house which is a short walk from the harbour and the local village center. Headache well house is named after an old well with green spot nearby. A big treat for bird lovers. Alan was very caring and helpful and even organized a fishing rod for our kids and great local advice. The castle is a must see, too. Try the local pub and inn for excellent food and drinks and choose your own favorite. The pub owner is especially nice and has good advice for families with kids, like Birr festival. The steaks at the inn are of award winning quality. Thanks Alan for a super stay at your house.

The Host was Super- responsive, helpful and attentive, he contacted me a few times for some really minor things just to be sure we were well accommodated and was friendly and very likeable. The house is lovely - located in a beautiful setting and exceptionally well looked after and has everything you need for a family visit of any duration. The neighbourhood is wonderful, Terryglass is a super little country village, beautiful and the people are so helpful and friendly and the summer night-life is fabulous and geared towards families (and kids) having a great time - only a minute walk to two super restaurants and pubs and the local shop and a 3 minute walk to the lake shore and picturesque and vibrant marina - bubbling with families boating, tourists and water skiers.

Alan has been a great host and the house is very good, has everything we need. One thing very good about terry glass is the restaurant in Derg inn, it's one of the nicest one we encounter in west Clare. Highly recommend for anyone to go if you would stay in Alan's house.

Lovely house, perfect for a family as its very spacious. Very well equipped, had everything we needed for our stay. Had arranged to meet our host to pick up keys and it was all very well organised. Perfect location and easy to find.

Lovely location. Host is very friendly. The house is in walking distance to a lovely pub and restuarant. I would definitely recommand it!

The cottage we stayed in was really lovely. It was large, well equipped and clean. There were fresh eggs and salad leaves from the farm waiting for us on the table when we arrived, a nice touch. The cottage is private and secluded in a beautiful landscape, five minutes cycle from Terryglass village and lough Derg. Niall set up internet for us to work in the morning and was very helpful with everything. He set us up with a barbeque, coal and fuel and offered whatever we needed. There were bikes and a sauna for us to use as well! It was a really pretty little farm with loads of nice walks and cycle paths beside the cottage. We had an amazing time, it was very picturesque! Everything was perfect!

We had a wonderful experience with Niall's little cottage. The cottage was on a very cute little farm with nice walks and farm animals, which I had fun with being a bit of a country girl myself. The cottage itself was clean and very nice, a nice kitchen and two full bedrooms. Next door was a sauna and the washer and dryer. A wonderful little get away, would definitely visit again.

My wife and I and our three kids stayed with John and his wife for two nights. They made us very welcome and showed us to our bedrooms which where very clean, tidy and had all you would need for your stay. One bedroom had its own bathroom which was very handy. we also had access to a living room which was separate from the room that John and his wife used. It really was a home from home. the couple had a dog which my children fell in love with and the children enjoyed playing football along with the dog on their large front lawn. We where given a good breakfast of cereal, egg and toast and the service provided was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble at all. If you are looking for a holiday in Ireland in a clean home with friendly hosts then this is the place to go. John also recommended some sights to see and do and seems to know the area and surrounding areas of Ireland very well. The recommendations they gave where very good and we had lots of fun visiting those places. Thanks to a lovely couple for a lovely time and I would recommend this house as a place to stay to anyone.

Lovely house and bed, very clean and comfortable. The owners are fantastic people and we had great chats with them on arrival. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for acc in the area.

A really lovely place to stay in beautiful location. John and Mags were so lovely and helpful with lots of great tips and advice about where to visit etc.

John was a fantastic host and was very welcoming! I would certainly recommend John's place to anyone visiting that lovely part of the world.

I booked Rita's place for my brother, sister-in-law and their 4 kids to stay for the weekend, as we live nearby. It's a little remote but perfect if you want to get away from everything for a few days and just chill and check out the surrounding areas. The kids were delighted when they turned up and saw a chicken in the garden and then got to meet Rita's cat and dog too! They also loved the fresh eggs for breakfast. Rita and her family were very friendly and available to help with anything they may have needed. The living space may be a little small when the house is full but not a problem if you're out and about anyway and is still comfortable and very warm with good heating and a stove if you wish to get a fire going. The bedrooms and bathroom are a good size. All in all, they really enjoyed their stay here.

Rita provided the details and directions upon request. Though the darkness, lack of clear markings and the dog created some confusion, Rita's son welcomed us when we arrived late in the evening. The house was very spacious and extremely clean. The only issues we had were lack of WiFi and lack of morning food options, especially milk, since we were not informed otherwise. However, the stay was quite comfortable.

Very comfortable and clean house. Rita was very welcoming and caring. The fireplace was lit when we arrived in the evening. WiFi was problematic. Lovely rural surroundings (2 km east of Killimor). We would definitly stay there again. Gonda & John from Holland

Rita's cottage has everything you need for the perfect break. When we arrived the log burner was already alight and the cottage was cosy and warm. We loved seeing the cow and her calf just outside our bedroom window in the morning. We are sure to be back in Ireland again and would very happily come back to Rita's lovely cottage.

Rita contacted me and gave excellent directions to the house. She greeted me on arrival, had the house warm and offered breakfast for the next morning. The house was very comfortable and I would be happy to stay there again.

Had a great time Rita went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable

Very careful welcome, host fully available for advices & help, comfortable beds, house pefectly clean. Great breakfast with choice (various fruits, eggs...) : Perfect.

Lovely and warm cottage on the countryside. We stayed here for one relaxing night after a day on Cliffs of Moher and visiting Galway. Very tidy place with spacious kitchen, nice bathroom, comfy bedrooms and living room with a fireplace. I would recommend Rita's place for anyone wishing relaxation and rest. Rita and her husband were very helpful, thoughtful and lovely hosts. We would definitely stay here again.
