“Ballyblood Lodge was fantastic.”

Patricia was lovely, she was on hand to greet us & show us around. We chatted with her most days, as her house was down the lane. We couldn’t have asked to meet a nicer lady and we would highly recommend anyone to stay there. The lodge is comfortable, has everything you could ask for and more. The location was wonderful. There is nothing more to say about the property or location, words really don’t do it justice. We will be staying there again in the future

“Return visit, this time to Granny’s Cottage”

We visited the larger house several years ago and really enjoyed the stay with our three children. This time, with only one teenager with us, we booked Granny’s Cottage. Very comfortable, warm and well equipped. Lovely kitchen/ living room. Sauna was popular with our son after long walks. Tricia is a very friendly and helpful host. We love this area and will certainly return. I would love to stay in the spring as the garden is great - lovely outside seating area.

“Granny’s cottage.. owned by same owner”

We are stopping at granny’s cottage which is in the same grounds and has the same owner as Ballyblood lodge. Where do I start? The owner (Patrica).. Now I have been to Ireland many of times and I know that the hospitality is renowned.. but Patrica goes one step above!! We travelled through the night and she knew this and messaged us as soon as the cottage was ready (nearly four hours before check in time.) when we arrived at the cottage we was greeted by Patrica who went round and explained everything. The cottage was immaculately clean inside and out. The view from outside is stunning and private. The whole cottage is a credit to the owners. The beds where amazingly comfortable. We asked Patrica where we could buy a fan from as the Irish heatwave was uncomfortably to hot for our five month old baby and within five mins there was a knock on the door with Patrica holding a large fan for us. The freshly made scones and milk and butter was such a nice thought. We are well impressed. Matt, Claire, Andrew and Jessica.

“Excellent”

The lodge is huge and a really nice place to stay. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. The owners left us some home made scones and some essentials in the fridge for when we arrived which was a really nice touch. The location is good,perfect for some peace and quiet but not too far from Ennis,Limerick, Cliffs of Moher etc. Would definitely recommend staying here.

“Ballyblood lodge is an amazing place the lodge it self is stunning with everything catered for and beyond The outside space is impressive and private The hot tub was icing on the cake.”

Tricia and Kevin were very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble if you need them. I can’t express enough how wonderful it is we highly recommend it and hope to return soon.

“Home away from home”

My husband and I were vacationing in Ireland with another couple and decided to make this lovely place our home away from home. We were definitely not disappointed at all. The facility was immaculate. Very large and lots of room. The bathrooms had great showers and toilets. The kitchen was fully equipped and the washer and dryer worked great. The Murphy's were wonderful hosts and helped us with any questions we had. They had some kitties that would meet us at the front gate every day that were very cheeky. One of the friends that was with us has really severe allergies and had no problems with pet dander or smoke as it was pet and smoke free. We highly recommend this lodge. It was in a beautiful area of Ireland with lots of places to go to from there.

“Perfect Lodge in an amazing location!”

We spent the last week at this amazing lodge, it is set up with everything you need to be a home away from home, excellent amenities such as washing machine, dishwasher, iron etc... The lodge was lovely and clean and each bedroom had its own wardrobe and plenty of space. The gorgeous garden was very spacious and had a hot tub which was very relaxing and ideal after sight seeing throughout the day! The lodge is situated in County Clare and is ideal for travelling to The Cliffs of Moher, Spanish Point, Father Teds house, and many more must see locations! We are the best Indian of our lives in a restaurant called Bonfire in Ennis approx 12 miles away! The owners are very friendly and on site if you need them, we could not fault our stay with them at all and would highly recommend to all.

“Another gem”

Just back from ballyblood lodge, had a lovely week despite the weather. Located in a quiet rural area but perfect base to discover Clare limerick and Galway. The house itself is fairly impressive, plenty of room, light and everything you'll need, bikes wellies even a miniature hurling pitch!! The hot tub is a real treat. The house is perfect if you just want to chill, party, entertain the kids, it's an all rounder. Anything you want to know about Clare hurling- ask Kevin. Cheers for the memories

“Wonderful lodge in a lovely part of the world”

Just back from a lovely week at ballybood lodge. The accommodation was fantastic with a beautifully equipped lodge with lots of great space inside and out. The hot tub was perfect and used every day. Owners were really nice and we really can't fault anything. Bikes were provided which was great as they can be expensive to hire for a family. Gas BBQ was also used on the wonderful patio area. Lovely part of Ireland too close to limerick and Galway within an hour. Cliffs of maher 45 mins away with a lovely stretch of coastline. All in all a definite recommendation. Thanks for a lovely week.

“DO NOT WAIT BOOK NOW”

No seriously go book right now. This place is FANTABULOUS to say the least. Stayed a whole week. Mrs. Tricia emailed me a couple days before arrival to just touch base, arrived at lodge to find scones, jam and milk, how great is that. She went thru info on the house showed us around. So beautiful so quiet,hot tub is what the body needs as we were completely worn out each day, Mrs Tricia, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful lodge

“The owners are three of the nicest people you could meet.”

The cottage is a great hub for touring the beautiful coast of Clare & Galway. Kids loved the hot tub and it's a great way to relax after busy days.
Miss James April 2017

“Fabulous place, and Tricia and Kevin showed us wonderful Irish hospitality.”

It's a luxurious house - the best we've ever stayed in - and everything we could possibly want was provided; the hot tub was particularly welcome. We didn't want to leave!

“Luxury hideaway.”

Outstanding. Only problem with this superb rental is that i didnt want to leave! Spotless welcoming and homely. The owners friendly cats were a lovely bonus for my girls . Tulla village has everything you could need grocery wise. But you wont need the essentials as Tricia the owner has thought of everything including scones and jam. Beautiful stove with turf and logs provided. An abundance of books and games for the children. Fabulous hot tub is a unique point and so relaxing. Perfect base to enjoy all family day outs co clare has to offer. I stayed in november and the house is super warm. House is not overlooked and is nice and private.

“Fantastic accommodation for families and a great home-base for day trips”

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner and shown around the farmhouse. The house had everything a family (we have three boys 6,4 and a toddler) could need and basic pantry items were provided (and fresh scones with jam!). We spent most days taking a morning trip to visit all the great places nearby (Bunratty Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Craggaunowen, Quin Abbey, Galway) and returning after lunch to relax in the very clean and well maintained hot tub. The kids loved the hot tub because they got to use it even when it was cold outside. There are also three friendly resident donkeys which the kids loved feeding apples to. We did our big grocery shop in Ennis which is also a lovely town; try the Poet's Corner there for a beer and some trad music. Would definitely recommend Ballyblood to any family looking to spend a relaxing week in the beautiful Irish countryside.

“Absolutely Fantastic”

Just returned from a week at Ballyblood Lodge and have to say this is the most fabulous home from home. Very well equipped, comfortable, clean and peaceful. Hot tub is a great feature which is welcome after a long day out. Not far from Ennis which has everything that you need. I would recommend this lodge to anyone looking to visit this area of Ireland.
