“We have been going to this cottage for a number of years, we love it .”

Maureen the caretaker is more like a friend now and will do anything to help if there is a problem ,of which we haven’t had any . We have been going to Mountshannon for 21yrs now ,sometimes twice a year. The villagers are so pleasant and will you make you feel so welcome , I fact I think we are now half Scottish,half Irish lol

“Had a great week in Mountshannon, a lovely spot and the children had a ball.”

Maureen (host) was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. House was like a home from home. Hoping to visit again soon :)

“We go to this cottage every year and we love it, everything you need is there.”

Mountshannon is a lovely village if you want peace and quiet ,the locals are lovely people and make you feel welcome. If you want to there is a couple of pubs just round the corner ,one of which is opening a restaurant soon .

“A pleasant house in a lovely location in walking distance of Lough Derg harbour.”

All home comforts provided. The caretaker was extremely friendly and helpful.

“*Sykes need to communicate with the owner regarding the visitors time of arrival.”

I filled in our approximate time of arrival when booking the house, Sykes contacted me twice to confirm our expected time of arrival and the night before we were due at the house I received a call from the person managing the house as to what time we would be arriving. *The beds were extremely uncomfortable...lumpy and hard. *We had to go out and buy a blanket to cover the sofa as there was a bad odour and they were grubby. It was rather unpleasant to sit on. *Our stay was over a Saturday night and Sunday night. The property is very near the main street in Mountshannon which has 2 pubs and because it is summer people were out in the beer garden roaring and shouting until 2.30am Sunday morning! Not anyone's fault specifically but other future renters should be aware......no sleeping until the village sleeps. *Lastly (which appalled us), we were expected to remove any rubbish (garbage) and recycling we had accumulated during our stay!! This was a first for us. We have never been told this is a requirement in the numerous places we have stayed in over the years! Having paid 400 euros for 2 nights that is extremely unreasonable! In fact it is just unreasonable for any holiday rental property to ask this of tourists/visitors. *We came away very angry and tired.

- Ms Mehigan, July 2018

Thank you for your comments. The owner has advised the caretaker will always proactively call incoming holiday makers nearing arrival time to ensure they are on schedule and know how to find the property. In relation to the bed, they have not received any other complaints, this is down to personal preference. The owner does not agree there was an odour on the sofa however, does accept it is getting tired and they plan to replace it at the end of this holiday season. The noise you have mentioned from the pub has not been brought to the owners attention before, they apologise if this caused you disruption but this is unfortunately out of their control. The owners advises all holidaymakers on arrival of the requirement to dispose of their refuse in a nearby Bin Centre. Sykes owner relations

“Up to the usual good standard of properties listed by your company.”

The only criticism I would make concerns the disposal of household waste. We had to make a special journey to Scarrif's refuse treatment facility (5 miles away) and pay the charge of €7.00 per bag.

Mr Starkey April 2018

“Very comfortable and convenient.”

Small points,lighting in the kitchen was poor, under cupboard lights would help. Blinds in the two bathrooms would be nice, as the glass does not obscure enough. Otherwise excellent!

Mrs Devine March 2017

“Very handy location.”

It was easy to get to the Cliffs and the Burren. Also a must visit is the lovely town of Ennis.

Mrs Mann October 2016

“The only thing wrong with the cottage is that there are no outside bins for rubbish or recycling , during the week our kitchen bin was full and also at end of week .”

The only place you can take rubbish is to Scariff which is a fifteen minute drive away , could someone let me know why this is as it costs 7 euro each time you go , other than that we always enjoy our stay

“Short Break for family event”

Mountshannon is a lovely relaxing area, well known to us but never stayed there before. The house was as described, the lady we had to contact was most pleasant and helpful. Everything was clean and more than adequate for self catering. Just a short walk to the village and space around for the children.

There is easy access to Inish Cealtra, or Holy Island, from the village, and tours around the island are provided. On Inish Cealtra are church ruins, stone crosses, and a cemetery which is still in use.
