Mr Hurley August 2020

“Ballyblood Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, the accommodation is very clean and well cared for.”

It's spacious and the hot tub is a very good plus. The area around the lodge is very quiet, closet shops around 3km away. We have obviously stayed during the CV19 pandemic, although ROI is quieter due to restrictions we still had a lovely stay.

Mrs Wagstaff July 2020

“First of all would like to say what a lovely, helpful, accommodating lady Tricia was nothing was too much trouble and she was always smiling.”

we absolutely loved this cottage, having stayed in a fair few while holidaying with my son and daughter in law and family it's by far the best ever. The place has loads of space , immaculately clean and everything you could think of was un the cottage, plenty if towels for 6 of us and a great supply if cutlery and tableware which we find a huge bonus, beds were super comfy and bedrooms spacious too . The outside of this place is huge and gardens are so well maintained, hot tub was super clean and checked every day on the dot , would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place and we were sad to leave Thank you so much Tricia for a perfect holiday

“FANTASTIC”

This was one of the TOP 3 trips of a lifetime. The owner was FANTASTIC and the property was BEAUTIFUL. We had a lot of questions on what to do and where to go and Trish had the answer for every one of them. She even told us that she would have the local pub we wanted to visit come and pick us up and then bring us all home when we were ready. The locals were wonderful and we felt more like relatives then toiurists ! You can't ask for much more then we enjoyed staying here.

Mr Murphy August 2019

“We stayed for a week in September.”

The house is much larger and nicer than it seems in the photos. We had so much space for the children to play. We stayed in and cooked all meals as the kids are so young and the kitchen is fully equipped. We will definitely be back to stay again

Miss Mason June 2019

“"Ballyblood Lodge" made a fantastic holiday home for the week.”

It's such a well thought out design, everything you needed was there, it was very comfortable and modern and the hot tub was a great treat. Tricia and Kevin made excellent hosts, nothing was to much trouble and they were both very welcoming and had good knowledge and suggestions of places to visit. The homemade scones, jam, butter and milk was a lovely touch when we first arrived. If we visit Ireland again,we will definitely be back to "Ballyblood Lodge" again! Thank-you again for such a lovely stay.

“Home away from Home”

Located in Tulla, Ireland, deep in the heartland of County Clare in a small village surrounded by tradition and sheer beauty Ballyblood Lodge is EXCELLENCE in EVERYTHING, from the accommodations that were spotless, to the wonderful people that run it. Only a short drive into Tulla for groceries or a meal and a few minutes away from PEPPERS PUB for traditional Irish Music on Wednesday and Sunday AND EVEN MORE AMAZING they pick you up and bring you home so you can thoroughly enjoy a meal, a drink or 3 and the entertainment. .

Mr Mikloiche May 2019

“Trisha was the perfect owner, scones etc left as welcome gesture and tour of property with explanations for things, she checked in with us after couple of days and her husband introduced himself.”

True Irish friendliness. When left she had purchased Easter egg for our grandson, will definitely be back, property and Trisha exceeded our expectations

Miss Cambi November 2018

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

- JasonB892, June 2017

“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

“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

“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!

Mr Lynch April 2017

“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.

“This property is exceptional in every way.”

Tricia and Kevin are wonderful hosts, welcoming in every way. The house is very well done and very comfortable. The hot tub is perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

Mrs Kirk August 2016

“What can I say property was excellent, location was spot on , we visited The Quiet man, Cliffs of Moher ,Blarney Castle and had a highly recommended banquet dinner at local castle .”

In our down time wee chilled in the luxurious grounds and hot tub . The owners Trasha and Kevin couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Every little detail taking care of and loads of lovely extras like scones ,jam,butter and milk on arrival. Plus Kevin is like a walking map lol directions wherever we needed :) . My little girl was ill on are last night and both of them couldn't have been more supportive with getting me bell doc and directions to take her . We will be recommending to all family and friends and if down that side of the country-staying again . Thankyou Julieann x hopeing I hit 10/10 on all questions as some wouldn't load so I guessed

Mrs Close May 2016

“Much more than we expected.”

The owner of Ballyblood Lodge was most kind and helpful and were quick to make us feel at home. The property was in an excellent location for touring Southwest Ireland. The cottage was beautifully furnished and very clean. The garden was better than some five star hotels. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. We have visited Ireland numerous times and Ballyblood was by far the best property we have enjoyed. Without reservation, we highly recommend this property.

- Mrs Close, May 2016
Linkous April 2016

“Throughout our entire stay, the owners were wonderful hosts.”

A converted barn, the property is massive inside with a large kitchen, huge living room on the first floor, an additional, very comfortable sitting room on the second floor adjacent to the deck and three well-appointed bedrooms. The bathrooms were both of a decent size and all of the utilities worked flawlessly. The hot tub is one of the highlights of the property and its location on the back deck of the house is highly secluded. Overall, we were incredibly happy with Ballyblood Lodge, and we will absolutely rent this property again! Highly recommended!

- Linkous, April 2016
Mrs Walker April 2016

“We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful property.”

The owners had thought of everything! We cooked every evening and found all the equipment we needed and there was always plenty of hot water and heating and supplies for the lovely wood burner.

“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.

- nlilly, April 2016

Thank you for taking the time to share this thoroughly lovely feedback with us all, we couldn't be happier that you enjoyed your stay at Ballyblood Lodge. It sounds like your family had the best of both worlds; getting out and about to explore all that the area had to offer and doing plenty of relaxing in the comfort of the lodge - the hot tub sounds like a particular treat! We certainly hope you will return to enjoy it all over again soon. Sykes owner relations

“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.

“Absolutely superb”

We stayed here for our honeymoon in September. The owners were very welcoming and lovely. There was homemade scones, jam and a traditional honeymoon drink, Mead waiting for us on arrival.

“Superb Holiday rental”

My wife and two friends stayed at the Ballyblood Lodge from Sept 9-16 and had a terrific stay. The Murphy's were very helpful in the lead up to our trip, answering any questions we had in a very timely manner and while we stayed their they went out of their way to make our stay great. Even lending us the use of their printer in order to conduct some business back home. The lodge is huge and very clean with a bright and well equipped kitchen. The TV is small but frankly we never really watched it. Most of our time was spent on the huge deck or in the hot tub relaxing. There are laundry facilities and lots of friendly pets to keep you entertained. I would highly recommend a stay here.

- Auralee, December 2014
Mrs Brown October 2014

“The cottage is out of the way but close enough that you don't feel isolated.”

You can sit in the hot tub, gaze at the stars and feel like you're a million miles from anywhere - great. There is enough space that you can have a lot of people there but not feel on top of each other. The owners are lovely and really helpful.

“Wunderschönes Haus mit Wirlpool.”

Top eingerichtetes Haus, liebevoll dekoriert und blitzsauber. Der Wirlpool steht auf einer Holzveranda, die nicht einsehbar ist, war immer warm und gut gepflegt. Besitzer wohnen mit auf dem Grundstück und sind sehr bemüht und freundlich. Außerdem haben die Besitzer den nettesten, wohlerzogensten Hund, den man sich vorstellen kann. Die Lage zwischen Galway und Limerick ist gut, die Cliffs of Mohair sind nicht weit. Bunratty Castle ist ein Erlebnis und auch gleich um die Ecke. Da würden wir sofort wieder hinfahren.

Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen Ihr Aufenthalt in der Ballyblood Lodge gefallen hat! Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie schon bald wieder begrüβen zu dürfen. Sykes owner relations

“Superb Holiday Stay”

On our recent trip to County Clare to revisit new friends and finish some heritage investigations we choose to stay at Ballyblood Lodge. What a wonderful decision. Firstly it was very convenient to Kilkishen where my Grandmother was born, but most particularly it looked superb -and it lived up to every expectation - plus it was self catering. We had a wonderful week at the lodge. We enjoyed and explored the local area and really felt part of the community. We cooked lots of local food and had a wonderful relaxing stay. Trisha & Kevin and family are wonderful hosts - they made us very welcome and were more than willing to help in any way they could. The property is very private, lovely to live in and we would both love to be able take it home with us....Highly recommended.

Mr Cushnahan April 2014

Michelle M October 2013

“Absolutely beautiful”

The area is lovely and the photos of the lodge do not do it justice. We stay in many lodges/cottages throughout the UK and Ireland and this is right up there with the best. Patricia, Kevin and Captain the dog were so friendly and welcoming it felt like home from day one. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed and more, the kitchen is kitted out brilliantly. The hot tub is big and lovely and the rear garden area was huge with good seating area on decking. Our party was of 8 and the house was big enough to accommodate everyone without feeling at all claustrophobic. We were lucky to have good weather and Clare won the All Ireland hurling cup for the first time in 16 years so the weekend was full of celebrations. There are two taxi drivers in the area who were brilliant and took us into nearby Kilkishen and Tulla which were small towns but lovely quaint pubs and also into Ennis. Both taxis were reasonably priced. Seamus was our favourite though and we made a good friend in him by the end of the week. I genuinely would recommend this lodge to any one, you will not be disappointed believe me Can't wait to book for next year

“Outstanding, didn't want to leave!”

Ballyblood Lodge is simply amazing thanks to the standard the house is finished to and to the Murphys who own it. The Lodge has been so beautifully designed and decorated both inside and out. We travelled with our 9 & 6 year old kids and they would have been happy to spend every day at the lodge playing in the big gardens, soaking in the hot tub or playing the many board games available. The Lodge is equipped with everything you could need and more and there is any amount of tourist information, anything you can't find and the Murphys will only be too pleased to help. The photos of the Lodge don't even do it justice it is better in real life! We can't wait to go back and would not hesitate to recommend this holiday home to anyone.

“A Luxurious Home Away from Home”

What a lovely place! The house was warm, bright, spacious, comfortable and we were made to feel so welcome by the owner. The outdoor hot-tub was a very special treat and we had everything we needed. There were plenty of sights within driving distance and we particularly enjoyed the traditional music session in a nearby pub. We will definitely be coming back!

“Amazing!”

The cottage was great, superb directions from the propreitor helped lots :D. The fire was all set up to go when we got there and you couldn't get us out of the amazing hot tub. Kitchen was a good size and the dining table made lunch/breakfast/dinner lovely. The 3 bedrooms are all good sizes and the sheets/pillows are so comfy we didn't want to get out. All in all I'd highly recommend the cottage, it's location makes it easy to see all of Co.Clare.
