Quiet self-catering holiday home with surrounding lakes

Spacious

Garden unkempt; covers on sofa not great

Property was in a lovely and quiet area. We came for a fishing weekend so this town is the perfect spot. House was cosy with all cooking/washing essentials. Lovely big patio/garden for children to play. Hosts were very accommodating to allowing us later checkout time which was great!

Internet very slow and Netflix on tv didn’t work due to this. Steps into dining area and out to kitchen were a trip hazard, two of our party fell and badly bruised themself. Gate down to pond could do with a more secure lock closure for child safety.

Spacious rooms and kitchen

Heating took a while to warm the house on arrival.

The home was plenty big for our stay with 2 x double bedrooms, bunk beds and a pull out sofa bed. 15 minute walk to the town and a couple minutes in the car. Tesco was handy for getting supplies in for breakfast or main meals. We was fairly central to visit family in the local area. Although, if you did want a night on the town be aware there are limited taxi services and the country lane is dark to walk down at night. Great food in the Bailie hotel and a fantastic night in Daly's bar offering live music with a great selection of non-alcoholic/ alcoholic drinks. I would recommend bringing a hi viz jacket and have a torch if you were to walk back after an evening out. Had a great night's sleep, beds were comfortable. Games to play with and books provided to read. Plenty of radiators to ensure we were warm during our end of October stay. Towels and toiletries were provided which was a bonus. Little pond and toys in the garden for everyone to enjoy and some fish food provided if you want to feed the fish. Views were amazing. We had a great stay and would return to this cottage again.

The lack of taxi services in the area however, this is no fault of the hosts.

Safe, cosy and spacious. Great for families!

Towels were a bit tired and there wasn’t enough! House could do with a d clothes dryer

Lots of room, nicely decorated and exactly as described. Loved fire pit concept but could do with updating

Garden could do with some maintenance and on patio area

Not far from shops

Just one bath for 7 adults were not enough ; except living & kitchen, other bedrooms are small

Ναι μας άρεσε πάρα πολύ

Δεν υπάρχει κάτι αρνητικό όλα ήταν θετικά

Best part was the outdoor space, loved the garden

Some of the mattresses could have been better.

Lovely house

Would need a car as the walk to town is quite long

The bedrooms could have been a bit more equipped with a tv etc and more plug sockets, also with locks on the doors. there was no virgin or sky boxes only Netflix or DVD but Wi-Fi didn't always work so couldn't watch any tv. Also property was very cold on arrival, think heating should be put on prior to guests arriving as it took a long time to heat.

Everything was wonderful. I liked everything. The house is beautiful.

I liked that it was clean and secluded

There wasn’t a mop to mop the floor like when you spill something

Convenient location, good parking,

There weren't enough seats for 6 people to relax in front of the tv. One of the bunk beds was broken (one spar) so our grandson slept on the mattress on the floor. There weren't enough coffee mugs, plenty plates. There were no facilities to dry clothes although a clothes airer was mentioned in the facilities. The owner needs a new cleaner. We had to use foil to cover the dirt engrained oven trays. The toaster has seen better days. Several rooms have cobwebs and dirty skirting boards. There is a dangerous step up to the dining area then down again to the kitchen. One of our party fell. Although the owner attended to our request for an improvement in the water pressure it was still poor for the remainder of the week. Such a pity as the property has potential however in need of a deep clean and some decoration. The title for this property is very misleading. Although it is very quiet you have to travel a distance to see any of the lakes that surround the property.

Situated peacefully just outside the village of Bailieborough, this expansive property provided an idyllic retreat. The serene environment, punctuated only by the sounds of nature, allowed us to truly unwind. The house itself was equally impressive, with a generous outdoor space and a delightful fish pond—complete with fish food for our enjoyment. There was also a small gym equipped with a treadmill and boxing gear, which I made good use of. The bedrooms were comfortably spacious. Two of the rooms accommodated large double beds, while the third offered bunk beds, making it ideal for families or groups. .

The village offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, making it an excellent escape from the busy world. As a base for exploring the surrounding area, it's perfect. However, guests should be aware that the village itself is quite secluded, with limited amenities and attractions within walking distance. It's essential to come prepared with your own entertainment or be ready to venture out to nearby towns or cities for dining, shopping, and other activities.

It was quiet

There wasn’t Toilet paper or tea towels or kitchen towels or dishwasher tablets. Couldn’t the induction hob because there weren’t the correct saucepans

lovely house, Great facilities Fab summer location I imagine

a little further from the town that we expected

The house is wonderful, the style is unusual and we love it. It was spotless warm and comfy. Close to small town Bailieborough and not far from Virginia. Little pond at the back of the garden with fishes inside is just beautiful and the two main gates on the driveway are just awesome. Living room and kitchen are on high standard. The electric fireplace is just brilliant and the toilet is stunning with bluetooth connection mirror. The shower is 10/10. I recommend to everyone.

We definitely didn't like the glass table in the living room. We were afraid that it might get damaged by placing a glass on it. The step in the living room has its advantages and disadvantages, it looks cool and extraordinary, but each of us has tripped over it at least once. (The step is marked with warning tape by the owners.) I can also add a table in the kitchen to this list because it is too small. The TV isn't the best but it's not the worst. Overall it's nothing serious.

Fabulous home and Garden,well equipped,very clean and comfortable,we loved the garden and particularly the pond,would certainly recommend to family or friends!

We Pretty much loved everything,if I had a complaint at all, it would be the kitchen is a little on the cold side for a winter stay.
