The Lodge

The house was generally as described.

John had turned on the heating so that we could arrive comfortably. Communication was excellent at all times. The interior of the house was good but had seen better days. The stove had seen better days, as had the pans, which were quite dented and very worn. The glasses and dishes were in no better condition. The cutlery was a mixed bag, there were no sharp knives, nor was there a vegetable peeler. The pasta strainer and other kitchen utensils seemed to date back to the last century and had been used accordingly. For the very high price in the high season, the kitchen utensils should at least be checked for usability and replaced every few years. The house was clean on the surface, but unfortunately not in detail. There were cobwebs in the shower, food scraps in the dishwasher, and slightly dirty corners here and there. The beds were good, not too worn out, and the bedding was clean. The room doors squeaked and creaked when closing. We had obviously been given brand new towels, which we had to wash first to feel comfortable using them. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the dryer to dry the towels even though we followed the instructions, so the laundry remained damp. We can highly recommend this house for vacationers who don't want to cook for themselves and don't need much crockery. The area is beautiful and the house is in a good location. If the owner put a little more effort into the details, it would be worth the price.

We had a fantastic time in this beautiful house and a special thanks to John O'SULLIVAN.

.and of course Sykes Holidays..

It was a fantastic private house with beautiful garden and outdoor space for family and friends.

Everything you need was there. JOHN the host was brilliant. Plenty of golf was played as course was just across the road. Love it. Thanks John x

This house is in a perfect location and setting.

This was my 2nd stay and I’ve already booked for next year!!! The house and garden are fantastic and the owner is always contactable. My only request for improvement is the shower is poor and the water pressure is very low so even doing the washing up takes a long time. If those 2 things were improved it would be total perfection!

Great property, Great location just wish the weather was better then we could have made more use of the garden and decking

SUPERBE MAISON, JUSTE EN FACE DU GOLF POUR DES GOLFEURS, UN PEU LOIN DE LA LAUNE POUR LES PECHEURS, MAIS BEL EMPLACEMENT ET TOUT CE QU'IL FAUT.

Fabulous property - inside and out.

Very accommodating Was the perfect location for my holiday Well maintained Already booked again for next year!

The Lodge was a perfect location for us to explore the surrounding area.

Very spacious indoors and fantastic outdoor space to relax in quiet surroundings. John was a great host and we would be more than happy to return here.

Lovely lodge and great location.

We had a really nice week. Would be good to have WiFi as we used a lot of our mobile data.

The house was very dirty Kitchen so bad you could Not cook or eat in it No wardrobes Dust and cobwebs all over Broken shower head

Great host, happy to take your through what the local area has to offer.

Perfectly situated just off Killarney national park and The Reeks; perfect for walking/hiking. Plenty of facilities at the cottage to ensure your stay is comfortable whatever the weather. Unfortunately, our negatives were cleansiness and clutter - the kitchen worktop was sticky when we arrived, and we dedicated a good part of our first day to resolving this. There was dust on just about everything: window sills, the bottles in the kitchens, units, books, photo frames, etc... We felt the cottage needed a good clean, but got the impression it was very much as the last occupants have left it. Wifi would have been nice to have had as standard, to allow us the ability to look-up the beautiful local area without the cost.

This is a large cottage well stocked with what you need to cook and make the most of the kitchen area.

The living room furniture is comfortable as is the bed we slept in. The large garden and deck are pleasant with plenty of garden seats and room to sit out. It is very conveniently situated for the mountains and for Killarney town. The road is rather busy and noisy and not suitable for walking on as the traffic speed is high past the house.

House location, was very central for touring.

Should have brought my Clubs

The Lodge is a superb facility in a great location for the South & West of Ireland.

Nice restaurants / pubs nearby. We'd go back like a shot.

This holiday rental was by far the best holiday rental we have ever had, this house had everything, felt more like home than a holiday rental, John the owner was lovely and went out of his way to help us with anything.

It has an amazing private garden, kids loved the monopoly game in the sitting room, will defo be rebooting if we r down that area again

The lodge is fantastic.

Very spacious house with a huge garden. We met the owner who was very helpful. The area is a great base for both the mountains and the beaches of Kerry. We loved it.

A spacious property in a nice location.

Only problem was a poor shower which suffered from poor water pressure.

We had a lovely week at The Lodge.

John is a friendly, helpful host and gave us some handy tips on climbing Carrauntoohil.Will hopefully be back soon:)

The lodge is an absolutely lovely place with a great garden - very suitable with somebody traveling with a pet (dog).

The owner, John, was very helpful and suggested great restaurants in the near of Beaufort. Very recommendable. Would go there again any time.

Great location, as it was based near Killarney, which has a huge range of amenities and facilities.

The house and, especially the gardens, were even nicer in real life than shown on your website. The rose garden was amazing.

Very comfortable accommodation with plenty of space and everything we needed for a two week stay.

Great location with very easy access to Killarney, Gap of Dunloe, etc. We would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was beautiful and very clean.

The grounds are manicured and well kept. The location is perfect for exploring the Ring of Kerry, Killarney and the Dingle Peninsula.

The lodge was perfect, plenty of room, with lots of local literature/ leaflets etc that proved very helpful on our days out.

Ideal location and the owners were very helpful on a request we had also.

Great location outstanding views .

The gap of Dunlo on your doorstep. It's up to you . Explore or relax. Loved it x

We love staying here it is like a home from home.

The fire is a bonus on a cold bleak night. John is friendly and helpful. We hope to be back for some more walks :)
