Marina view apartment Carrick-on-Shannon

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviews3 weeks ago

We had the best experience at Susan’s place. The exceptional hospitality, elegant rooms and safe and secure environment made our trip truly memorable. Susan’s customer service was second to none, very friendly and welcoming. Susan is very personable and professional and explained everything clearly as regards heating, electrics etc. The apartment is outstanding, exceeding all our expectations. The ambiance was so inviting and comfortable and the views were stunning. Susan really cares about her guests and this is clear from the moment you enter her apartment. She went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. This is a beautiful place, with a great location, within walking distance of pubs and restaurants. I have no hesitation in recommending Susan’s apartment and would love to visit again.

Heron Coastal Cottage in Thatched Village on beach

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviews7 months ago

Thank you Riana for 5 wonderful nights at the beautiful Heron Cottage. We were absolutyely thrilled with everything. It was the most exquisite place to stay for a short break with my 90 year old mother, immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable. We loved the gorgeous decor and it was equipped with everything you could wish for. Everything is so easy to work, with super instructions readily available. The private steps to the beach make for a magical journey over to the harbour where we feasted on fish and chips and the outdoor seating was just perfect to relax with a glass of wine. The location is superb for touring around. We were blown away by the beauty of the place and it's fascinating history. Heron cottage is a very special place and Riana is the most welcoming, most generous host as was her lovely daughter who greeted us on arrival. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy a holiday here. To be honest we didn't want to leave and we hope to return.

My family and I had THE BEST time in Dingle and loved our stay at Experience Dingle’s home on the harbour. It was kid/family friendly which was huge for us - it was right next to a huge playground. The host gave so many recommendations that were very helpful. We loved it so much we extended our stay one extra night. We hope and dream to be back. Thanks again!

Waters Edge Retreat

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews1 week ago

The apart was absolutely wonderful with stunning views from every window. It was well furnished, comfortable and in an ideal location to reach the beach and/or town and quay. Secure car parking was a bonus. There are 3 flights of stairs to climb but I, with some mobility issues, found them manageable. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Our host, Joan, was absolutely wonderful - helpful, friendly and readily available if any help was required - a credit to the company. Thank you Joan.

No 4 The Mill Apartments

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 232 reviews3 weeks ago

I recently stayed at a lovely spot near Ashford Castle for a wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short, two-minute drive to the venue and with stunning views overlooking the pier. It’s a peaceful and picturesque area, ideal for anyone attending events in the Cong area. The property itself is cozy, well-maintained, and the perfect retreat after a day of celebrations. If you’re attending a wedding or event at Ashford Castle or simply visiting Cong, I highly recommend staying here. The proximity to the castle and the serene surroundings made the whole experience even more memorable. Would definitely stay here again!
