Lovely pod - I was worried it would be too cosy for a family of 6 but we had plenty of room. It also had everything we needed for a one night stay - just wished we'd had more time there! Farm was great - lots to see and do which the kids (aged between 7 and 14) loved, especially the chocolate!

This is a regular castle with a real family living in and renting rooms. In a castle. I somehow missed this fact when booking the place. I thought it was a hotel called castle or a castle converted into a hotel but here we are, staying in a regular castle with a peacock in the garden and a pony walking around and welcoming guests. Plus a regular knight's armor in the corridor. The host is extremely kind and friendly, very helpful and providing interesting information about the history of the place and attractions in the area. The price was very reasonable for a magical stay like this. It would be lovely to stay longer.

We had a car rental so it was relatively easy to get to Cork etc. The countryside was lovely and although we didn't have time, there's a beach a few minutes in the opposite direction, at Youghal. We brought our own food and were happy with the kitchen. The house itself was one of the most beautiful that we stayed in, very modern, classy, well-designed and comfortable.

A wonderful large modern house half an hour from Cork, impresses with its interior and design. Unfortunately, we only stayed two nights, but we would have loved to enjoy this wonderful accommodation much longer. Access is only possible by car. A wonderful view of the Irish pastures. Definitely a warm recommendation!

Good location for visiting the city and our family. Room was good size and comfortable. Very clean. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Staff were very helpful. Easy to push my mum around in her wheelchair and although there were stairs up to the reception, there was a lift. Kids club available in the evenings in July & August for free.

The food in the restaurant is incredible, morning or evening. The staff there were lovely and friendly, especially the chap in the band called 'Fíor'; he was so kind to our kids. The pool is clean, warm and child friendly. The hotel itself is huge so never felt too busy. The cocktails are lovely too!!
