What guests are saying
Ballaghboy Cottage was perfect in every way.
A beautiful rural setting with brilliant views. Spacious outdoor area was perfect for our dogs. Inside the cottage is finished to a high standard and has everything you could need in accommodation. The kitchen is very well equipped, everything and more is provided. A guidebook is presented with details of how to use all of the appliances and all other general facilities, which is very helpful. The owners kept us well informed throughout, thoughful & appreciated. All in all we had a great week relaxing in this lovely space and will happily return.
It was a pleasure to stay at the cottage - we were 6 adults so it was a full house, but it was comfortable enough to accommodate us.
We were lucky with the weather - so we were either outside, in the kitchen or asleep, it might have been a bit snug if we had all wanted to be watching TV. I noticed previous comments had noted the driveway was a bit rough - this has clearly been redone and is now in good condition. Kitchen very nicely stocked, decent Wifi, beds comfortable and house is generally very cozy. We enjoyed our week.
Enjoyed our stay here and weather was fantastic.
House well equipped and comfortable. One major drawback is the lane - bumpy is an understatement! It really needs sorting. Also grass hasn’t been cut for a while and was ankle deep. House has smart TV but beware no live TV. Thankfully we have Prime or we would have been stuck.
