o “Ballymahon is off the beaten Irish tourist route, but this is what we were looking for. We had planned our vacation to see and investigate family history in the surrounding towns of Cavan and Roscommon. Visiting the nearby villages and hamlets is always a part of our vacations. Ballymahon itself has everything that we required from a supermarket, pubs and music, dinner in a fine hotel. The nearby city of Athlone provided a whole day of site seeing and historical perspective. To come back to this Irish Cottage at the end of the day made it very special. Our stay in this cottage was memorable, enjoyable and highly recommended by us.”
Mr Battle, Mahopac, Ny, March 2014

“Cosy and outstanding cottage in a perfect location to explore Rep of Ireland”
Lovely and spacious cottage. Sat Nav didn't get me to the exact location for some reason and I couldn't access data roaming. Luckily Maeve (the owner) made contact asking whether we had arrived safely. Very helpful and directed me to the cottage. Booked a 7 night stay and explored Ireland. Very family friendly. Maeve kept in contact daily offering suggestions and advice on travel and local facilities. Cant fault the location, the cottage nor the service by Maeve. Will defiantly be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely week.

Response from the owner Gary its a pity you didn’t ask for heating as its standard to have 2 hours whenever you wish at no charge . It was difficult to contact you if you had any problems you should have contacted me . I’m available by phone /text as indicated. It was one of out warmest weeks of the year and visitors in recent weeks have not required heat I hope despite that you enjoy your stay
