Carole and Kevin are the best! The property was beyond our expectations, to be in another country but feel like you are home is truly a wonderful experience.

The description and photos on the stayz site are extremely misleading. We anticipated a charming clean lakeside cottage with access to lakeside walks and kayaking. Instead we found the cottage neglected, dark cold and dirty. kitchen ware, shower , pots, pans etc. pretty much everything we had to wash before use. Nowhere near the lake we never found out how to access the promised trails and kayaks despite our questioning. It seems the owners believe they have established some sort of quaint heritage version of Ireland. As an Irish guest (living in Australia) I can confirm it is a big con designed for the American market. It is offensive that this is the image being portrayed as rural Ireland. I am surprised that this property is being promoted on your website. The owners however were kind and helpful when we had a medical incident for which we were very grateful. However this didn’t compensate for what was a very uncomfortable and miserable experience.

If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, country setting complete with 2 loving dogs and 2 amazing donkeys...this is your place. It was such a wonderful stay we hated to leave. We are already planning our next vacation there next year. Carol and Kevin are amazing and it was a pleasure getting to know them. Can't say enough about their friendliness

We really enjoyed our few days staying at this cottage, was very unique accommodation and we loved the old style. It was very peaceful and the surrounding areas were beautiful and enjoyed walks by lake and the Guinness in the local pub. Carole and Kevin were amazing hosts and we really enjoyed meeting them, in particular celebrating the new year. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Looking forward to singing the Boys of Barr Na Sraide with Kevin when I come back

Venue was idyllic and instantly calming. Great setting and lots to do in nature and place steeped in history. Kids had wonderful time with with Donkeys, chickens and dogs. Owners Kevin and Carole couldn’t have been more welcoming. Too much to mention but would recommend a stay!

Quaint and quirky renovated cottage. Very quiet and peaceful. Carole was attentive and friendly. It was lovely feeding the donkeys through the window with apples supplied by Carole and we also had a welcoming committee of dogs, ducks and hens whenever we returned . The setting is ideal for expoloring "Hidden Ireland" which is beautiful. Also a good pub nearby for excellent meals and breakfast. Highly recommend the property.

We spent our first few nights here and couldn’t have been more charmed. Exploring the beautiful grounds with all its discoverable nooks and crannies was the best way to decompress and prepare for roving the Irish countryside. I was jazzed to collect fresh eggs for breakfast…how cool is that? We especially enjoyed the rollicking gang of poultry, the enthusiastic company of the (really adorable) dogs and laughter filled chats with Kevin.
Our host was really great and made sure we were well supplied and comfortable. Even after visiting many other beautiful spots, I still consider this first sojourn my favorite of this trip.

Absolutely an amazing place to stay and the highlight of our month-long stay in Ireland. Carole and Kevin were incredible and made us feel so welcome. They couldn't do enough for us. They genuinely cared about ensuring our stay was memorable - and it was! The property is a delightful rural Irish experience. We spent many days just enjoying the extensive property; sitting by the fire; playing with the dogs; and walking the property. We have travelled extensively and this was a truly unique and exceptional experience.
We feel fortunate to have selected Williamstadt House for our stay in Ireland. We are also so grateful to Carole and Kevin for being such amazing hosts. Can't say enough about how incredible our stay with them was!!
