Shannon River House & Gardens

Mark was a very gracious and kind host. The location was great and it was definitely not your typical bed and breakfast. We loved the seclusion of the property and loved the dogs! One of the nights we stayed, Mark invited us to gather around the large dining table with the other guests to have conversation and meet people from literally all over the world. It was a great experience!

The property is a work in progress and wasn't what we expected. However, with that being said, we loved it and really enjoyed our stay.

De locatie was voortreffelijk. Een eigen schiereiland tussen twee rivieren met veel groen om het huis heen.

De hygiëne en de staat van onderhoud voldoet niet aan hedendaagse standaarden

Nina and I felt so welcomed. Location is perfect. Mark is the greatest. Mark’s dogs are the best

I cannot think of anything

Beautiful location.

Nothing to mention.

It was a lovely cottage set in a beautiful setting. Lots of greenery plus a quaint old chapel. It wasn’t too far from the town centre and close to a supermarket and petrol station. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

Very little. It was what we expected from a cottage.

Een unieke locatie die niet in het standaard hokje is te plaatsen. Het is een oud landhuis dat opnieuw wordt ontwikkeld. Daar moet je als gast mee kunnen omgaan.

De voorzieningen zijn goed maar oud en daardoor niet altijd goed schoon te maken. De badkamer daarentegen is modern, schoon en comfortabel.

The homeliness of the place. Mark is a superb host and his two wonderful dogs were so gentle it was a credit to him. The sense of history about the place is well respected - I wish him all the best with ongoing projects.

A run with the hoover hither and thither wouldn't go astray, particularly when pets are about.

The setup

All good

Mark was a lovely, attentive, and humorous host. He helped us get situated quickly. The grounds are beautiful. Our bathroom was marvelously updated. The home has a delightful and historic charm.

Creepy feel, left in the night, didn’t feel safe here.

De locatie, de kist en alle mogelijkheden die we er hadden, komen, kamer, tuin. En bovenal de zeer vriendelijke gastheer Mark

Alles beviel wel. We houden van de sfeer van zo’n oud huis.

Environnement bucolique Beaux meubles tableaux aux murs très intéressants Hôte sympathique

Attention aux araignées Plafonds décrépis..

Az aranyos fehér kutyus, a kinti étkezés és a hely wibe-ja. A lehetőség, amely a templomromban és a lakrészekben van.

A nappali bútor kutyaszőrös és koszos, a fürdőszobában sem volt tisztaság. A folyónál csak törött/szakadt sporteszközök találhatók.

Lo que más nos gustó fue encontrar la paz que necesitábamos. La casa es antigua y tienes a disposición los espacios comunes de los cuales hicimos uso. Mark y su familia fueron los mejores anfitriones dejándonos espacio pero también estando ahí por si necesitábamos recomendaciones de sitios para visitar, para comer... We'll be delighted to come back!

No tuvimos ningún problema con el resto de huéspedes con los que coincidimos en nuestra estancia, pero si no te gusta compartir y respetar espacios comunes no es tu alojamiento. Las habitaciones no tienen llave.

This is one of the most beautiful places to stay. It also has one of the best hosts we’ve ever encountered. This property is a unique home-share experience that we’ll look back on fondly for years to come. We’ll be back!!!

Everything. Especially the setting, its charm, and our hosts.

The quirkiness of the house and such character..Mark and Zoe so welcoming .. So enjoyed the peace and quiet and river.. A lovely evening in the sitting room with a nice bottle of wine and cheese enjoying the view ... A great night's sleep...

Nothing !!!!!

L'accueille de Marc ou de sa famille envers ses hôtes est très agréable. Il est de très bon conseil concernant des endroits pour manger ou visiter la région, ainsi que sur l'histoire du Lieu.

Prachtig huis in groene omgeving. Superfijne plek om te zijn, Mark was een geweldige gastheer, we kregen spontaan een upgrade ( groter bed ). Alle voorzieningen aanwezig; keuken, wasmachine. Perfecte plek als je van honden, rust en ruimte houdt.

De temperatuurregulatie van de douche; kreeg het niet goed afgesteld.

Mark was very hospitable, friendly and helpful. Accommodated our early arrival despite the inconvenience. The dogs were lovely and completed the amazing setting. Would recommend them to anyone.

Lack of door locks

Beautiful historic house and surrounding gardens

The history of the house. The beautiful gardens and rooms

Mark was a gentleman. Lovely location so peaceful yet so close to the city . Would highly recommend the place .

What breakfast lol we made our own there was tea and coffee available. The tea was amazing forgot to ask what t bags u use ? Loved the donkeys and dogs.the best was use of your boat travelling down the shannon. Mark was very bubbly and informative re the history of the house and area .he suggested a great Chinese to with we ate in the elaborate dinning room -

No it can't be faulted we would deffo recommend to friends and family and we couldn't believe how cheap it was

The location was perfect for our stay. The room, shower, kitchen area was all in good order and functional. The donkey next door was so sweet and Mark the host was a joy to talk to that evening and in the morning.

We werent exactly sure that we were in the right place when we drove up. Maybe a clearer welcome sign would have been helpful.

Everything

This property is very quirky, right on the river and very peaceful. The owner mark is very friendly and helpful and I enjoyed chatting with him throughout the stay. They have very friendly dogs and being a dog lover was lovely. We we're even upgraded on our room on the last night which the owner didn't need to do but it was a very nice touch.

I was surprised there weren't any keys to lock your bedroom door some people might not like that.

The relaxed atmosphere

Nothing

Really lovely place...hosts were warm and friendly.

Marc nous a accueilli dans sa merveilleuse demeure de famille, nichée dans un écrin de verdure bordé par la rivière Shannon que l'on aperçoit du jardin. Souriant et très aimable, il nous a offert de nous surclasser en dormant dans une chambre plus spacieuse. La maison est spacieuse et magnifique, chargée d'histoire et de détails charmants. La salle de bain partagée est moderne et offre tout le confort nécessaire. Idem pour la cuisine. La beauté de ce lieu réside surtout dans le charme qu'il offre, loin de toute nuisance sonore, dans le partage avec Marc et Izzy sa charmante fille, dans les jeux avec les chiens de la famille sur la pelouse du jardin, dans le calme des soirées d'été où nous avons pu prendre nos repas dehors, dans la gentillesse de nos échanges avec nos hôtes qui font vivre ce lieu et nous ont donné l'impression de faire partie de la famille pendant 3 jours. Un grand merci!

Beautiful settings.host was ever so helpful will definitely stay again

No lock on bedroom door but the home is very secure.

Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich, Marc ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber mit guten Tipps, eine Unterkunft mit sehr viel Atmosphäre.

Amazing place with a beautiful house and garden. Has everything you might need during your stay (including a kitchen and cooking equipment) and has a wonderful garden right at the banks of the Shannon river. The host is the kindest person you'll meet and also gives great recommendations for activities and places to visit.

A beautiful unique stay in a historic house with great grounds. Good location to drive to some interesting spots and Mark was great about giving suggestions about where to go. The dogs on the property are an added bonus for animal lovers.

Everything was great. Its made very clear the place is being renovated which I could see some people not being fond of but I thought it was fantastic to be able to stay in such a place

Mark is a great host and accommodating. We enjoyed a warm welcome, prompt response to our questions, and tea at the main house with Mark. We walked the gardens and explored the grounds. The updates to the river cottage are excellent.

A bit damp and that is being addressed.

Mooie ligging, die zeker prachtig is met mooi weer, maar wij hadden koud, regenachtig weer… Mark-de gastheer- was super vriendelijk, hartelijk, heel verwelkomend. Hij gaf goeie tips en was heel behulpzaam. Dankzij hem waren we ook snel verlost van onze platte band de laatste dag! Toffe, vriendelijke man!

Het is een tof huis maar er is nog veel werk aan, wij vonden het niet schoon genoeg, onze badkamer was niet voldoende schoon gemaakt, het was frisjes in de kamer en er was een onbestemde geur. We vonden de keuken niet schoon voor gasten… Over het algemeen voldeed de hygiëne niet aan onze standaard verwachtingen van een B&B.

We loved the lovely house, and gardens. A little overgrown tho. Mark was a great host and we'll be back. So quiet and relaxing, felt so good after visit.

This home was such a hidden gem! We rather last minute booked it for 3 nights and boy are we glad we did. The beauty of this home and garden is amazing and yet it is still so close to the city center of Limerick. Though you can easily grab an Uber we opted to walk just as it was a nice area to do so. As a guest you get full use of a kitchen, living room, gardens etc. We often brought back a bottle of wine and enjoyed sitting in the garden with the dogs and watching the swans on the Shannon. We had such peaceful nights' sleep (it was so quiet) which was impressive being so close to the city. Marc, owner, was so so friendly and clearly cares so much about the property, the experience, and the comfort of the guests. We absolutely loved the pet donkeys and dogs. A real treat this spot, can't wait to stay again!

A step back in time with small details from times past kept, but modern things added. Amazing place to stay.

De enthourage, de behulpzame en vriendelojke host

De afstand naar binnenstad Limerick

Mark is the best host we ever had. He is a very easy-going and kind person, always checking whether we were comfortable. The mansion is magnificent, this the most Irish experience we could have. Do save one day for exploring its gardens and relaxing on the backyard. Additionally, you’ll have the best fluffy neighbours with tails - amazing dogs and donkeys. Do not forget to prepare some snacks for them.

J’ai adoré vivre dans cette demeure qui respire l’histoire. Les meubles anciens, l’argenterie… Mark est vraiment très accueillant et on se sent libre de profiter des parties communes et du magnifique jardin. La salle de bain privative de la chambre rose est magnifique et toute neuve. La couette en plumes était super agréable. La vue géniale.

Les rénovations sont en cours. Et il y a beaucoup à faire. Donc nous n’avons pas pu entrer dans l’église qui se trouve sur le domaine. Une bonne partie du domaine est impraticable car en friche.

L’accueil très chaleureux et la beauté du bâtiment et du terrain (petit domaine)

Los dueños eran súper agradables. Tuvimos un problema con la reserva y nos ayudaron en todo momento. Las instalaciones son súper tranquilas. La cama es muy cómoda y no hay nada de ruido por las noches. Las vistas desde la casa son espectaculares. Esta muy cerca del aeropuerto de Shannon , a unos 20 min y a unos 10 del centro de Limerick.

No hay pestillo en las puertas. Hay que ser consciente que estás en medio del campo por lo que hay insectos.

An amazing location, steeped in history. The house is beautiful, loved the communal areas, the art, the views. We were made to feel very welcome and well looked after

Nothing

Mark was a brilliant host, really friendly and happy to help with any requests or questions we had. The rooms were clean, comfortable beds and we really enjoyed our stay in this picturesque area

This is a beautiful B and B with riverfront property, a large garden and medieval church in the grounds. Mark is an excellent host and makes everyone feel as if they're part of the family.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Great location, beautiful surroundings, atmospheric building

This is a house that retains the atmosphere of antiquity. The location was perfect for me. This is not a typical B&B with sterile rooms, which, by the way, the host warns about in the letter after booking. If everything were perfect, the price would be higher. The linen and the bathroom and kitchen were clean. Mark, the host, was very hospitable and ready to help. So, if you are positive and like adventures - go ahead.

I missed a microwave in the kitchen. I would also draw the host's attention to the fact that the cleaning lady does not clean under the beds very thoroughly and throws out the trash from the bin in the bathroom

Logement atypique et confortable Très bon contact avec Marck

Rien de particulier

L'intérieur de la maison qui a gardé tout le charme de l'ancien. L'emplacement dans un bois au bord du fleuve Shannon. L'hospitalité de Mark, le propriétaire.

Everything I liked, it was the most amazing place for weekend

Obiekt położony w uroczej okolicy, przepiękne wnętrza domu i ogród. Właściciel bardzo serdeczny i pomocny, dba o swoich gości. W pokoju zapewnione wszystko co niezbędne, kuchnia dobrze wyposażona, w obiekcie panuje przyjemna, swobodna atmosfera.

Nie mam żadnych uwag

Mark and Fiona were amazing hosts. The dogs were an added perk! Would definitely do it again and I with Mark all the best moving forward.

Nothing.

It was probably the best accommodation we ever stayed at. Mark was incredibly kind, he went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met and the house itself is just something else. Stunning interior and the view on the lake was fabulous.

Mark est adorable et la maison est vraiment très sympa !

Private gardens and green space.

Friendliness of the host and property was exceptional.

Beautiful property that provides lovely views. The owner Mark was exceptional in welcoming us and ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible.

History of this house

Mark rocks, the property is beautiful (rocks).

Amazing place. Mark and family were great.

A bit remote but Mark et al were great about offering rides when they had the availability. And it was a relatively short taxi ride from city center.

Very comfortable accommodation. The host was exceptionally friendly, offering food and even a free extra room for our group even though we hadn't booked one.

The most loveliest home that is comfortable with an incredible history. The family that owns it has been there for generations and Mark was very forthcoming with sharing the history and answering all my questions about the area, with some really great suggestions on where to eat and visit. The grounds are so gorgeous too set right on the river Shannon, with its own dilapidated church, weir and castle! You do need to be mobile with a car to stay here though and get anywhere, which I did. Even so, Mark was happy to offer to pick me up from town. He even offered me a glass of red wine on my only nights stay! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone travelling around Ireland and who wants a quaint place to stay. Mark, thank you.

Nothing!

The owner was so welcoming and helpful. My son and I absolutely loved this place. It is absolutely beautiful the grounds are just amazing.

Een magische plek in de middle of nowhere. Super fijne gastheer. Hij heeft ons zelfs nog weggebracht naar de trein omdat wij met openbaar vervoer waren. Maar een (huur) auto is wel aan te raden. Heerlijk bed. Fijne mogelijk om te koken. En prachtige natuur om het huis. En een oud kerkje. Ik zou er graag nog een keer naartoe gaan maar dan in een ander seizoen.

Het enige was dat de deur van de slaapkamer niet op slot kon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at such a beautiful place and are host was wonderful. We were made to feel extremely welcome and had the lovely opportunity of meeting the family who were also great (including the dogs). The whole atmosphere was friendly and inviting, the view from our bedroom window of Shannon River was fabulous. It was so peaceful and relaxing there, with a really comfortable bed and a totally absorbing ambience of sheer enjoyment. With Mark's knowledge of the surroundings his suggestions of places to visit were perfect. We had an incredible, and unforgettable time and wouldn't hesitate on recommending this as a place to stay. If we're ever in that area again and need accommodation, we'll definitely go back there.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Mark was an amazing host and gave us a tour of the grounds and a warm tipple to wet the whistle. Gave us a lift to town to watch a rugby match. Will be back again.

The rain

It was a hidden treasure tucked away by the Shannon river. The architecture of the house alone was enough to say it was a marvelous stay. And when you add the service from Mark, our host, his puppies, and the overall freedom we had to relax in the lounge area and dine in the dining room and basically believe for a few days that that was our home away from home, well that’s where our testimony truly stems from.

Atendimento do anfitrião foi muito cordial e prestativo,

lugar um pouco escuro a noite e houve alguma falha na limpeza.
