I was there with my husband and teenage children for a week, we had the best time ever, Carmel was so nice! There was loads to do! We walked and cycled every day. We also went on a fab boat trip on the Corrib! We walked our dogs by the old railway track next to the Lodge. At the waterfall... more

This place is amazing. The rooms were spotless, simple in their designed yet beautifully done. The bed was so comfortable and the sheets luxurious. Probably the best breakfast I have had, everything was cooked to order and accompanied by delicious home-made bread. Nothing was too much trouble. There's even a lounge and 'summer' room where you can sit even if... more

The house itself is situated off the main road, down a country lane, and is blissfully free from any traffic/urban noise! We were greeted by the owner with a very welcome tray of tea and delicious... more
