Lovely house in peaceful, beautiful location. The house has everything you need and was beautifully renovated.
Few small things would make it exceptionally and attention to detail needed in relation to some cleaning area. Dust on skirting, inside ornaments, marks on doors. Condiments in cupboard out of date. Driveway doesn’t have top dressing so very bumpy and dirty under feet when coming into house.
The house was gorgeous with amazing views.
You had to travel everywhere but only 15 or 20 minutes.
Beautiful place, clean and well maintained to a high standard. Padraig was a wonderful host.
Comfortable house lovely view
Not alot of flat ground or garden
Love the views and the peace and quiet
Every thing was lovely
Lovely spacious comfortable home always cozy
Didnt get to see any deer, we stayed last year for a week too and loved seeing them going through the garden and fields cant be helped though
Location. Spacious House. Very Clean. All facilities were great. Great host. Peaceful countryside. Views
It was truly one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in. My family, friends, and I absolutely loved it. The location was fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking, and the house itself was spotless, comfortable, and welcoming. It really felt like a home away from home - we honestly didn’t want to leave. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Definitely a 10/10 experience, and we will absolutely be coming back!

We greatly enjoyed our trip and Padraig was a great host. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending the plain view to others.
If you want a quiet, peaceful location with stunning lake views then look no further than this beautiful house. The house is very comfortable, with 4 large bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and cosy living room. The owner Padraig is very friendly and provided lots of great advice on the surrounding area.
Nothing. It was perfect for a long weekend.
Super location with views of Lough Key Very comfortable and spacious Great facilities Great communication from Padraig
No negatives
It was so comfortable and relaxing and bright
I couldn’t complain
Tolle Lage, gute Ausstattung, sehr netter Vermieter, Tipps vom Vermieter zu Ausflügen und Restaurants
Absolutely stunning house! Inside and out! The views are breathtaking. Even the rain didn’t ruin our experience. So lucky to have found it last min. Padraig was very accommodating and helpful. Location is perfect for a quiet family getaway, we fit in forest walks down to the lake (loads of splashing in puddles), a bbq, a Lough Key adventure and a couple of gorgeous breakfasts and dinners in the house. Modern, spacey, very comfy and homely. Everything so thought through, we needed for nothing

It was so convienent to where we were going - to wedding in Kilronan Castle. Beds so comfortable, host was excellent. Loved it all
Nothing no complaintsmusty lough view
We had a wonderful 3 night stay before Christmas. The house was amazing and everything for perfect. Padraig was a great host and allowed us to check in early as well. The location was perfect overlooking the lake. It was the perfect base for us while visiting family.
The house was immaculate with such great facilities. Everything you would need for your stay was provided. The house was gorgeous with ample room for the 7 of us that were staying.
No complaints.
The house is lovely. There's a lot of space and it's very clean.
Pillows were quite uncomfortable
Lovely space, bath and showers were great, comfy beds, fantastic view, lovely walk down to the lake from the house. Kids loved the deer, cat and foxes visiting in the garden each day!
Short stay, loved it. House spacious, clean comfy. Views amazing. Short walk to woodland and lake.
The location was great so near so many towns. The house was so spacious and clean. The owner was so friendly and gave us plenty of information about the area. Also great there were plenty of towels there and also the extra touches were great e.g. teabags, cleaning stuff etc.Also people with me loved the owners cat who came for a visit to the house and stayed and made himself at home 🤣🤣 Also there three bbq there and big table and chairs there and you could have your food outside or watch the beautiful view there is there if you had the weather.
Nothing all great
We had a wonderful stay at Padraig's holiday home! The house was excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. What made the experience truly special was Mr.Padraig's(host) kindness, prompt and support. He even allowed us access to the nearby lake through his beautiful farm, which made our stay feel even more connected to nature. We were frequently visited by Paddy the cat(My kids enjoyed so much playing with him), and we even spotted deer and a fox during our stay. It truly felt like living in harmony with nature. We left feeling refreshed and grateful—an unforgettable vacation in a peaceful and scenic setting. Highly recommended!
Nothing to be specific
The view was amazing. The house is spacious and amazing.
The price could be lower.
We stayed at The Plain view as a family of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) and absolutely everything we could have needed was there at hand. Padraig was an exceptional host and all round lovely man. We had the most relaxing stay in such a beautiful home. Thank you and we hope to return in the near future.
We were lucky to spend our weekend with friends in this beautiful place. Everything was very clean and cozy ,we felt at home from the first moment. We had a wonderful time, especially enjoying the BBQ on the veranda and the stunning view of the lake, which is also very close by. We will definitely come back more than once, as this is such a welcoming place that you simply don’t want to leave. Thank you, Padraig, for the warm hospitality!
Fantastic house, great views, lovely decor. Great bathroom and ensuite. Very comfortable beds. Spacious kitchen/diner and very well equipped with everything you could need. Great views from and house and some lovely walks locally. Padraig was very welcoming and gave us plenty of information on local places to visit.
There was nothing to dislike
The house is stunning and very clean. Padraig was the perfect host and would absolutely stay again. Everyone really enjoyed the stay. We had young kids and a dog and there was enough space for everyone. The weather was great which meant we could sit outside and eat with the amazing view over the lake.
You couldn't ask for more. Everything was perfect.
The layout and decor are superb The views to the water’s edge are uplifting Padraig is an exceptional host
Padraig is an excellent host, the accommodation was first rate and the location to die for!

The house was way too big for the 2 of us, but the quality of the home, the appliances really gave us the holiday experience we were looking for.. Great pike fishing on the Lough Key. Mi
A lovely refurbished building with a modern interior, with plenty of space. Great views over the loch and access to the loch within walking distance.
Beautiful house.... its was clean cosy pet friendly ...a quite and peaceful location
The surroundings are not enclosed for pets but it wouldn't put me off once ur dog has good recall
The house is situated rurally which suited us perfectly. The house is immaculate and well equipped. The beds were comfortable the bedding of a great quality. A fully furnished kitched which we didn't need but was beautiful. The most stunning views and tranquility.
That the deer didn't make an appearance haha. We did however have a visit from a pheasant and of course Patrick the cat was keeping an eye on us
Fantastic few days, house is modern and clean. Ideal location short drive from boyle and carrick-on-shannon. Plenty of wildlife and places to adventure near by. Padraig was a wonderful host and gave us a lot of information on the area on our arrival, Highchair and cot were also set up and ready for use.
The house is so beautiful, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Padraig could not have been nicer. The scenery around the area is stunning. Would highly recommend.
Peaceful and serene space, was a perfect stay , lovely host , no complaints
Nothing
Padraig was great at keeping in touch and the house itself was wonderful, modern, clean and in a beautiful location. Overall a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Enjoy! Lovely deer in and around the garden too if you're lucky.
The location was divine. The early morning sun set was picturesque

The house was amazing, it had everything you could need or want and was spotless. Padraig was a great host and gave us some helpful tips on where to eat and visit around the area. The views were absolutely stunning (pictures we took don't do it justice). The walk from the house down to the lakeside is a must, so peaceful. Would 100% recommend, couldn't fault a thing!
Everything !! The location, the house, the owner Padraig all top class. A little gem where even the deer visit your door at night. Can't wait for my next trip.
Leaving for home !!
A home away from home. A peaceful beautiful place good for the soul. Padraig couldn't have done more for us.
Self catering. Comfortable for family of 4 adults and 2 children. Excellent kitchen. Beautiful outlook. Host very helpful.
The lack of a clothes dryer was a deficiency. Outdoor clothesline available but difficult to access on sloping site. TV did not work but owner had this fixed quickly.
Very spacious, modern, everything needed was provided. Excellent location, beautiful views and very friendly host.
Loved the location very peaceful. Property was modern and clean.
Couldn’t leave the windows open as the cat kept jumping through.
Beautiful location. Peaceful good for the soul. A home away form home,
No faults.
The location was great, just off the lake. Very modern house w comfy beds,big dining table, option for outside grilling. Host was kind and very helpful.
All was great.
We were looking for a location that was close to Kilronan Castle for a family wedding and we had the greatest of luck to discover this gem of a holiday home. It's owned by Padraig, who is the kindest and most helpful gentleman you can imagine. When we had difficulty finding a taxi late in the evening to get to and from the venue he very generously shuttled three of our family members there. The property itself is immaculate it looks small from the front but it's very spacious inside, everything is absolutely perfect and new and all required items are already there. Basically bring your toothbrush. The land goes all the way down from the property to the lake through a very pastoral setting, some woodlands - and he has his own small cove with an oar powered longboat and a small sailboat which are available for use should you desire. There are many amenities in the area of which unfortunately we did not have time to take advantage of, although we did take the boat out for a row on beautiful Lough Key and can only imagine how enjoyable it would be to have the family out on a nice sunny day maybe doing a little fishing or for a picnic on Bullock Island. The entire house has been completely renovated and is very modern. An extremely up to date kitchen - and there was even some ground coffee and a cafetiere! A more complete beautiful and perfect holiday domicile I really can't imagine. Thanks again to Padraig for making our short stay so memorable. Kevin and family
Nothing at all
Everything! The house is incredible 😲. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have possible needed during our stay. The house was huge and fitted everyone in our party 6 adults 2 children. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The views were incredible. The nature was insane. We seen deer, bats and amazing variety of birds. We would love to go back!
Nothing. Couldn't fault it!
The location was exceptionally to our liking and couldn't be bettered.
Absolutely nothing was lacking.
What a fabulous property! Padraig was an excellent host, friendly, welcoming and very accommodating with check in and check out times. The house is modern, spacious, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful view down to the lake, dog friendly. Short walk down a private lane to the lakefront. It was so nice we didn’t want to go home! Would recommend 100%. Thank you Padraig for a wonderful few days.
The host was a gentleman and the place was like paradise.. I will return
Nothing bad to report

Everything was perfect
Fabulous house, cannot recommend it enough. Had the most relaxing few days with family. Beautiful view over the lake, lovely walks, pet friendly, comfy beds, everything you could need or want. Amazing.
First impressions were prior to arrival with the host very welcoming and approachable - he was very prompt to answer any questions we had. On arrival he met us and was extremely helpful The location was idyllic - on a height overlooking Lough Key and a very short drive To Boyle and Carrick on Shannon The presentation was very high standard and very luxurious furnishings. The rooms were very well appointed and spacious and the bathrooms were very high standard. Full WiFi and amazing TV channel selection as well as Netflix and other options. The property is well suited for self catering and fully equipped Out dog was also made very welcome and the host made him feel like a guest too!
Nothing to add here
lovely location, and next to Boyle and my relations.
there were no problems.
Very peaceful Beautiful place. With picturese views. The House itself is a home away from home. The attention to detail stands out and is much appreciated. I seriously wouldn't leave if I had a choice.
Leaving to go home..
Beautiful house, with lovely walk to the peaceful lake. Host very helpful and accommodating and ensured we had a comfortable stay. My kids and parents and I had a lovely break away!
Everything was great, there were no issues!
The property was presented better than any 4* hotel, lovely comfortable beds, fresh crisp linen, fabulous kitchen with a beautiful view of the lake,
