Forest Lodge Log Cabin - Ireland

The location.... absolutely beautiful

The gas stove was tricky to light

The directions & access to the lodge were very clear , the property was lovely and cosy & we enjoyed our time there,

I appreciate we were in a forest & as one of our party needed internet access it was quiet stressful for them , we had to travel some distance regularly to facilitate their needs.

Such a beautifully finished cabin , everything about it was cosy and welcoming but equally luxurious💕 We loved it

We wished there were towels as we forgot ours but could not fault the property!

Love the remoteness. The place was clean. The information given was great and helpful. Quiet area but still close to a town to buy groceries and all. Beds were comfy. Had everything you needed.

Bardzo ładny dom czysty ,wszystko co potrzeba jest w kuchni i w łazienkach bardzo ciche spokojne miejsce w sam raz na odpoczynek bardzo polecam

The place was amazing. So spacious. The decor and furnishings just beautiful.

Beautiful property- a rare find in Ireland, really well-built, lovely furniture and peaceful. Nice sitting on the covered balcony.

There have been ongoing issues with the drinking water. Some more bottled water should be supplied, especially given that the location is so isolated. We would have liked to do more walking in the area but no clear route along the river.

Lovely well equipped cabin, plenty of space

A little bit strange being asked to bring towels. Also it has been a long time since i have been asked to pay for electricity costs at a rental

Superb cabin..with exceptional space. very clean..

all good

Perfect for a screen free family getaway. Our boys (5) and (3) had the best time exploring the nature outside collecting pine cones. Cabin was really comfortable and clean.We Bbq'd both nights as the weather was so nice. Fully stocked kitchen equipment, so we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend it. We can't wait to come back!

Would have liked to sit outside longer in the evenings, but it was so shaded it made it too cold.

It was comfortable and nicely designed inside.

we like everything in the house and around,

The bathrooms didn't work properly and no WiFi and no TV channels at all.

Absolutely lovely cabin and maintained to a really high standard. The host was really helpful with any questions or queries. Really good spot if you want to get away. Close to Ballyconnell town, which has plenty of amenities, ranging from supermarkets, pubs, and food options. Also a taxi service if required.

It was cold when we arrived and the heating took a few hours to warm the place. But it was February when we visited so it can be expected. Tips. The water isn't drinkable, so do bring your own. The heaters use a lot of electricity, so keep an eye on the electricity meter. The host did provide a top-up code, which was much appreciated, and we had no problems. Limited Internet may bother other visitors, but we went there to get away, so it wasn't an issue.

The cabin structure is nice & neat. We were there for just 2 nights. But it is in a remote area of Cavan

At first, there was no light on the meter, so I had to ring the property. The heating wasn't that great. The hot water wasn't very hot untime. The network was so bad, so we couldn't reach the owner of the property to complain. So far,it was a nice place, but the heating system is not that great. I also asked for microwave the owner told me it got spoilt the weekend before we came, but I think it should have been replaced before we arrived. How much is the microwave that can not be replaced immediately? Instead, he told me to use the airfryer.I think that's is very rude for him to say . There's a difference between microwave & airfryer. The property needs to be more accommodating & friendly.

The layout of the cabin, the tv nook upstairs and balcony. Kitchen was well stocked, novelty factor of staying in a forest. Also had lovely lunch in local coffee shop following day

Was initially very cold, took a bit of time to heat up esp without the stove but we were staying in January

Location & Infrastructure

We loved the cabin everything was perfect

Fantastic place

Beautiful property

Everything, this place is just perfect 👌

We were aware that the fire was broke before we got there, so it wasn't a surprise however we would have loved a fire. Hopefully it will be fixed for our next visit 🤞

Lovely cosy login cabin with everything you could need for a nice short break

Log stove wouldn't light due to lack of gas, otherwise heaters more that sufficient

The cabin is really beautiful. The decor inside is lovely and there is really good space for 6 people. The appliances worked well and there were good extras, supply of DVDs and some books which our kids enjoyed. The jacuzzi bath was popular with our kids. The views from the balcony and veranda were lovely and the little extra electric lights and candles were very atmospheric. The gas stove was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive to any questions I asked.

While the house is beautiful there are a few minor issues which are easy fixes. The house is lacking in some basic items. Families really need a washing machine if no towels are being supplied. There was no microwave and some kitchen utensils were in short supply. There was only one egg cup and five forks, no oven mitt and not enough trivets/ chopping boards. I think a welcome folder with basic information on local amenities, how to use appliances, doctors numbers etc. is really important for families and wouldn't be difficult to put together. Some cleaning had been omitted e.g the kitchen bin was half full of someone else's waste. The BBQ hadn't been cleaned by previous occupants and someone had placed a disposable BBQ on top of it.

It was stunning. All the little finishing touches were beautiful. Myself my husband and 3 daughters (aged 10,7 and 6 months) had the most relaxing time here. Sitting on the porch was my highlight. I loved that there was no WiFi so kids played outside or played board games. Will be booking again.

Nice place ,lovely cabin

All good

Such a fantastic spot to stay- attention to detail and comfort as well as cleanliness was of a very high standard!

very clean and comfortable

The wood house was fabulous and so comfortable and relaxing

Every thing was perfect

Excellent, has everything that's needed for a peaceful weekend away. Beautiful location.

Fantastic place 😀

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location! Very comfortable and very clean. Was very well equipped. The cabin was really spacious and it was decorated so nice. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it anyone.

We were slightly worried as we were told the night before we went that we would have to top up the electricity meter in the cabin. We had presumed electricity was included...We were bringing two small children so we were worried as we didn't know when the electricity would run out. We bought some credit just in case. The owner had topped it up before we arrived and it lasted until the early morning after the second night and we had to top it up then. Just something i think is worth knowing before you go.

The location is amazing..

Forest Lodge is a very comfortable and stylish house in a private holiday house community, nestled between a forest and a river. The house is huge and very comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed. It has a luxury ski lodge feel, with special mention to the numerous comfortable blankets and the BBQ.

it’s worth reading the owners instructions carefully as the piped water isn’t drinkable and bottled water is needed.

Absolutely recommended. Beautiful place for family and friends.

Water is not recommended for drinking. It's brown and full of iron.

Stunning location, the cabin is extremely well equipped and even bigger than we anticipated. Lovely and very responsive host. An absolute hidden gem. We have told all of our friends and family about this place and will be back in the future

Nothing, everything was perfect

Stunning cabin, photos don't do it justice. Beautiful setting.

Nothing

The cabin is beautiful with gorgeous furnishings. Like a home from home and very comfortable. Lovely & quiet area, a great resting spot. Nestled in the forest its an amazing feeling to sit out on the porch in the sun having breakfast with the birds in the trees tweeting around you. Just bliss.

Lovely setting charming area people all lovely couldn't fault the place

No WiFi

quiet. very nice cabin. large it has everything you will need. perfect

The location is perfect for anyone who is trying to escape busy city life.

Beautifully located in the middle of the forest (but close by other lodges so not scary). A 10 minute drive from the Slieve Russel hotel which is great for a nice lunch. The cabin is really cosy and homely and clean. The phone coverage is patchy meaning lots of great conversation without distraction.

Everything was amazing. if I was to be really picky the water was a little bit off colour but that’s to be expected in the middle of the forest.

Very quiet.Nice and clean. Highly recommended 👌

This is an amazing house, very unique and enjoyable. The house was presented really homely and very clean. The pictures don't do it justice, it's very spacious and has everything you need for a couple or family getaway, its fully loaded. It is kind of remote but that's part of the pleasure, it's a real forest log cabin but with the luxury of modern living. Waking up to no sound of traffic or other people was bliss!

Due to the location internet is an issue but we were able to get some connection on our phones to keep in contact. Not really an negative for this type of get away!
