    The kitchen was well supplied with cooking equipment including an air fryer! It is close to both Ballybunion, (has an excellent array of take aways and a Supervalu) and Listowel, ( has a Supervalu, Lidl and Aldi as well as some lovely coffee shops). The lodge was a great base to discover more of the Wild Atlantic Way and Maurice was a great host. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend it.

    I had a very nice week in moybella lodge its in a quiet location with beautiful scenery, the house itself was perfect, comfortable and spotless clean with all the facilities and amenities needed and just a mile from lisselton where there is a pub, restaraunt and petrol station/shop for daily essentials and for anything else the towns of listowel and ballybunion are nearby, i dont drive so i cycle and found listowel to be a 20 minute cycle away and ballybunion 10/15 minutes away so very handy for someone like me, wnen i arrived i was met by angela who was really nice and had some fruit and a couple of bottles of water for me and showed me around the house, i later that day met maurice who was very friendly and chatty and told me i could knock at their door if i needed any help which fortunately i didnt, some people might be afraid or put off by the family dog but shouldnt be he is a very well trained and well behaved german shepherd and isn't at all a nuisance and certainly not a danger and is mostly indoors anyway, overall i got very good value for my money and couldnt be happier with my week in moybella lodge and would recommend to anyone

    Located conveniently close to the picturesque seaside town of Ballybunion and bigger towns such as Listowel and Tralee, it represented the perfect balance between serene countryside and local amenities. The lodge itself is charmingly intimate and exceptionally clean and comfortable with superb views of the surrounding countryside. We were very impressed with the friendly, helpful yet respectfully non-intrusive service of our wonderful hosts Maurice and Angela. My husband and I have been left with treasured memories of a special time in a house we called our home for the duration of our stay. Highly recommend. Ciara and Paul

    We found it a good base for exploring the area. The ferry at Talbert was about 20 minutes drive away and enabled us to visit Killkey with its dramatic cliff walk.

    People ,often come on these feedback columns, and moan about things ( albeit in their mind totally justified) I can't find a single thing to say against this accommodation. The ,location was brilliant, everything in the cottage worked, it had central heating which most of the Irish cottages do not have. The cottage was purpose built by Maurice ( owner) for his mother in ,law, so obviously he has put evefrytbhibg in to to make her life comfortable. She ;passed and now he rents it out, all the people who go there will be getting the benefit of the effort he ;put into it for her So to sum up, this is a 1st ,class cottage, with a good owner, who likes to crack endless jokes with his clientele, I found him very endearing, and he cares about what his customers want No I am not related to bhim and he is not my brother lol !.
