“Beautiful House, Magnificent Setting” This house certainly has the wow factor when you walk in. If you are looking for a private Ireland holiday home then this is it. Can't even describe the magnificent views that you see from the many large windows. Bright, spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved being able to do laundry and hang it out to dry in the sunshine. Spent many hours relaxing on the patio. Cooked several meals and had everything we needed. Had a cozy peat fire every evening. Kathleen and Timmy made sure we were settled in and had everything we needed-they are just super-nice people! We particularly enjoyed the Skellig Ring which was only 20min or so away and then over to Valentia Island and going up to Fogher Mtn. Also enjoyed Derrynane, shopping in Sneem and Caherciveen and the drive to Hogshead. A good daytrip was going to Beara Pennisula, shopping in Kenmare and visiting Glenquiliquin (many good hikes). I wish I had asked Katheen earlier in the week about what pubs to visit for local performances. This house far exceeded our expectations and I feel very lucky to have been able to stay here!

“Great place to stay for families!” This was our first summer holiday with our 2 year old son and our hosts provided us with a cot and a high chair for him. We were happy to find that the place was safe (sturdy banister, switches for plugs and oven, boilers in separate rooms) for a - supervised - small child and can recommend it without reserve for families (Being only in three, we used of course not all rooms). The cottage is located in a beautiful spot and we really enjoyed the clean, breezy air and the great views of both the seaside and the surrounding mountains.

“Stunning accomodation for a relaxing break.” The Lodge at Ketton Park has been superbly designed and furbished for a luxurious break. The owners Mike & Carol went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed without being at all intrusive. Excellent hosts!Loved the breakfast pack (still had some left after 4 days!)Lovely location and as we are bird watchers and golf players we were quite spoilt. 4 golf courses close by, one overlooking the beautiful Rutland water(all very reasonable and welcoming) Woodpecker always seemed in the garden!Too many species to mention but watched a Kite on several occasions. Osprey visits Rutland water during the season! Make sure you visit the owl sanctury close by well worth the short trip. Fascinating many old world villages close by for finding something different, with plenty of choice in restaurants and pubs. Mike and Carol have really done their homework well with all the info you will need at your fingertips at the lodge. Thouroughly Recommended, hope to visit again. John & Marilyn.

“Taking a break from Corporate Life” I booked Trevase Granary for a three day off-site meeting for the Board of Telefonica o2; it was perfect for this type of event as we were keen to get away from corporate life and have some quality thinking time. The barn is finished to a very high standard and every bedroom is en-suite. The kitchen has every gadget you could possibly require so we had great fun cooking together; the huge dining table allowed us to enjoy some very sociable meals. Finally the games room provided the post dinner competitive entertainment- great fun! I highly recommend this place.

“Magical” My husband and I have stayed in ivy cottage,its very comfortable and cosy especally with the open fireplace plenty of room for holiday cottage and all essential's catered for and lots of pease and quite. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas golf only 9km in Templemore,fishing and plenty of walks and sightseeing,but just to sit in the picknic area and look across to the fields and mountains is really breathtaking,plus walking around pet farm. Our host Mr M Odonnell is most welcomning making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your holiday to the full.

“Wonderful” Stayed here recently and was very impressed. The house is very well equipped,the view is marvelous and the owner was exceptionally welcoming. It is our plan to return asap! P & R

“wonderfull place to spend time” my wife and i spent a week here in may 2013,and have to say its the best place in france that we have visisted, we brought along our six year old grandson who absolutely loved it here. plenty of walks around the grounds and along the trout stream, playing poo sticks in the stream with my wife gillian. being able flying his little helicopter in the grassy field behind the gite and fishing the beautiful lake, watching grandad catch loads of big carp. the lake is very productive, you just wont stop catching double figure fish. accomodation is wonderfull and very tastefully arranged, all you can ask for from a holiday gite. ideally located between to small villages where to can buy all your needs. the owners, allan and josie are lovely people, very helpful and friendly. id recomend la chatouillette to everyone, as you wont find a better.

“Wonderful cottage, beautifully furnished and lovely owners!” We were recommended Mimosa Cottage by our friends and we're so glad that we took their advice and stayed there. The cottage is in a beautiful location and ideal for a really relaxing break. The cottage itself is decorated to a high standard and is fully equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and cooker. Everything inside was spotlessly clean and had everything that you could possibly need for cooking. There is a log fire - although we didn't need to use this as the sun was shining the whole time we were there! There are three bedrooms with lovely comfortable beds and a cot/stairgate for babies. The bathroom has a shower - again everything is spotless. There is also a downstairs toilet. The grounds of the cottage are beautiful and well kept. Holly and Cha the owners are lovely and made us extremely welcome. There are also two friendly dogs Cezar and Bobbie) who belong to their neighbours and who will keep you entertained for hours - they also accompany you on walks! Holly and Cha have converted a barn which has enough space to hold functions/parties and would be ideal for family get togethers, parties or classes. There is also a pool in the field opposite the cottage. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Mimosa Cottage and would certainly recommend here to everyone. We look forward to returning next year as we had such a lovely relaxing holiday.

“Wonderful hosting!” Caz has been a very friendly host. Everything was very well organised and my parents did not had to worry about a thing. The flat was neat and cleverly designed. The street itself is quiet and picturesque with a famous Portobello market just five minutes away.

“A home from home” I stayed in the house with my family in early June. When we arrived we were made feel very welcome and were even left with a few basic food items. The house is very bright and clean and in a nice, safe residential area. There are plenty shops and restaurants in the area, the supermarket "Waitrose" is only 5 min walk away and has all the groceries you will need during your stay. The best feature of this house is that it is like moving into someone's home rather than a rental property. It has all the facilities you would need (kitchen utensils, iron etc.) as well as basic food items to keep you going until you make it to the shops. Also, being able to prepare you own food in the house makes the cost of the stay much lower than staying in a hotel. The only downside to this property is its distance from London city centre. The tube stop is a 15-20 min. walk from the house and you have about 30mins on the tube after this. Having said this, the journey did not really bother us, it's just something to be aware of. Also, the distance of the property from the centre is reflected in the very reasonable rental cost; with prices shooting up the closer you get to the centre. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this homely property.
