Hele vriendelijke eigenaren, prachtige locatie op het platteland, heel mooi historisch huis, goed ontbijt en vlakbij het leuke stadje Athy waar je bij de pizzeria Mani in Pasta heerlijk kan eten. Wij hebben genoten!
The breakfast was delicious.
Ruhige Lage, die netten Vermieter
Ablagefläche oder Haken wären gut
Siamo arrivati tardissimo per il volo in ritardo e l'host ci ha atteso senza problemi, molto gentile e disponibile. La stanza molto spaziosa ed il bagno pulito e fornito di tutto. Colazione homemade curata, variegata e abbondante. Per essere una struttura familiare, ci siamo veramente sentiti a casa.
Letti comodi, calorosa accoglienza e ottima colazione

Des hôtes très sympathiques une chambre bien décorée spacieuse et équipée
The host/s helped us with a logistical issue beyond the call of duty. Our problem was resolved quickly and this meant that we were able to continue our itinerary without interruption. The breakfast was the best that we have experienced so far in Ireland and travel advice was greatly appreciated. The garden was beautiful and it was so lovely to be able to stroll around and unwind. We have discovered that great accommodation and your hosts is a huge part of your overall travel experience.
Das Frühsrück war super, alles da. Mary und ihr Mann waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lodge liegt tramhaft in der Natur und nicht zu weit weg von Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche war extrem nieder. Es gab nur ein Handtuchset für 2 Personen. Im Zimmer keine Ablagemöglichkeiten für Koffer oder Reisetasche.
Quiet and beautiful. Very friendly owners, love that you can walk around.
Property was perfect but the town close by was disappointing. However the house and property well than make up for it.
Country / farm area , quiet and peaceful
Amazing property and hosts! Perfect location for a stop before heading to Dublin at a very reasonable price.

A welcoming historic home with beautiful furnishings in keeping with the style of the property. The property is in a tranquil location a few minutes' drive from Athy, with friendly hosts, a tasty breakfast, on-site parking. Good value for money, especially as a solo traveller.
Very nice country side views and friendly helpful owners.
Small television.
The location was just perfect for a first night in Ireland after arrival at Dublin airport. Wonderful historical buildings in a quiet location, with an excellent dinner to be found nearby, and full Irish breakfast in the morning.
Chambre familiale cosy chez l'habitant Hôtes d'une grande gentillesse Petit-déjeuner irlandais délicieux et copieux
E' una struttura tipica che ha mantenuto il suo carattere originario. I proprietari davvero gentili, simpatici e super disponibili.
La pulizia da migliorare sia nella camera/bagno che nella zona colazione.
Erg leuk B & B gerund door erg gezellige mensen, vraag de beste man naar history en je hebt een prachtige verhalen verteller
Het was goed, misschien mocht het ontbijt wat meer, maar het kan ook dat ik een goede eter ben 😁, het werd met zorg bereid
Amabilidad huéspedes y el desayuno fenomenal
Nada, estuvo todo muy bien
Tout est très bien Facile à a trouver Environnement calme Vue dégagée Propriétaires souriants Plein de place pour se garer Une grande chambre Un grand lit Un petit petit-déjeuner irlandais
Un peu de bruit lors de l'arrivee tardive d'un autre locataire
The context, property and guests are exceptional. Fantastic scones baked by Mary. Raymond is a fabulous story teller!!
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par la propriétaire. La chambre est spacieuse et les lits très confortables, typiquement irlandaise. L'environnement est très agréable. Le petit-déjeuner est exquis : saucisses, bacon, oeuf, prunes du jardin, céréales, soda bread, scone fait maison (mmmm!!!)... Merci pour tout !
Good breakfast
Beautiful spot well-maintained
Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux. Raymond est un hôte très intéressant avec qui nous avons pu échanger. Malheureusement nous avons moins échanger avec Mary mais elle est très sympathique aussi. Le lieu est très calme. On serait bien resté plus. 1 lit double et 2 lits simples. Facile de se garer devant et un immense jardin pour se promener. A 8 minutes du centre d'ATHY.
Si on devait mettre un bémol, ca serait sur les lits
Ein sehr reizendes, liebes Ehepaar...the good old Irish Style....
Die Lodge ist sehr ruhig gelegen zwischen Feldern, trotzdem ist die nächste Ortschaft schnell erreichbar. Das Frühstück wurde individuell und frisch zu bereitet und war super lecker.
Habitación amplia. Los anfitriones fueron super amables hablando con nosotros y dándonos indicaciones para el viaje. El desayuno abundante y exquisito.

Au calme, dans la campagne Irlandaise, Mary et Raymond vous acceuille chez eux dans la plus pure tradition des B&B. C'est charmant, on s'y sent bien de suite. La chambre était très grande. La déco a le charme typique de ces établissements. La salle de bain a été refaite et elle est parfaite aussi. Notre découverte de l'Irish breakfast typique, un régal.

old family home from 1796 farm house. extremely nice couple which is why they have a 9+ rating.
to be honest this is showing it’s age. if you are ok with no AC or oscillating fan to keep the air moving, cob webs in the upper corners and mattresses from maybe 1800 then this is a good place to stay.
Bellissima accoglienza in un contesto tranquillo, circondato dalla campagna in situazione assolutamente tranquilla e rasserenante. Camera conforme alle aspettative. Ottima colazione, tradizionale nel nostro caso, ma viene anche data possibilità di scelta.
Letti forse un po' troppo "tradizionali" e migliorabili
Lovely place to stay and Raymond and Mary are great hosts. Very nice breakfast too
A truly warm and genuine welcome from Raymond and Mary who made us feel home from home. This property will delight all historians, and those who appreciate a character property will not be disappointed. It is a few minutes from Athy, a quaint and typical town with gorgeous riverside walks. The grounds are spacious and quiet, well manicured and lush.
A car is essential
Grande chambre confortable dans une belle maison du XVIII ème. Excellent petit déjeuner irlandais et hôtes très agréables qui nous ont donné de bons conseils de visite et restau.
Le B&B est parfait pour une nuit en route pour Dublin. C’est vraiment la campagne , calme est sympa.
An absolutely beautiful old family country house that has been tastefully transformed into a charming up market B&B. Mary and Raymond are delightful hosts - full of local knowledge and wonderful Irish hospitality. It really does feel like you are guests in their home. The house and location are in the heart of the countryside with lovely views. Needless to say that it is in a very quiet area and we slept beautifully! Breakfast is all home-made and cooked to perfection. Close, easy drive into Athy for dinner. Would have no hesitation to go back and stay if we were back in the beautiful area. Thanks for a wonderful stay both.
Everything was perfect. We experienced 18th century charm in Moate Lodge. Mary and Raymond are excellent hosts. We had a warm welcome and privilege enough to have a tour in Raymond’s private tour. Food was delicious and wholesome, room was spacious, bathroom was spotless.

Beautiful 18th century home, surrounding by enchanting tillage farmlands, fantastic hosts, delicious breakfast, wholesome, homemade bread and scones, great rooms, showers, etc highly recommend a stay here ♥️
Tolle Atmosphäre, sehr freundliche Gastgeber & schmackhaftes Frühstück
Die Ausstattung ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen - aber durchaus charmant
Hieno huone pehmeillä matoilla, muhkeilla sängyillä ja kauniilla verhoilla. Parisängyn tyynyliinoissa oli hieno vanhanaikainen käsin kirjailtu kuvio (wow!). Vanhanaikaista eleganssia sekä koko talossa että myös tavassa palvella asiakkaita. Täälläkin olisi halunnut viettää aikaa hieman pidempään.
En löydä mitään negatiivista. Pieni jääkaappi huoneessa voisi olla kätevä.
Accommodation in summer and winter may differ. We were in comfortable weather.
In the vast majority of Irish B&Bs there is no air conditioning in the rooms. When it is hot you have to open the windows. Then insects fly into the room and bite you. In winter it is cold. The air conditioner is turned on when it wants and chooses a comfortable temperature.
Mary and her husband were fantastic hosts. The place was beautiful. The scenery breathtaking Our room was comfortable and cosy Breakfast excellent 10/10
Nothing k
Lovely house with lovely hosts surrounded by beautiful nature. Delicious breakfast and comfortable rooms. We travelled from the west coast to Dublin before our flight and just needed a one night stop to relax and this was the perfect place. We travelled with young kids. Can highly recommend.
A very nice elderly couple owns and operates this B&B. A charming, refurbished 200-yrs old house.
It’s very remote. Would be nice to be able to use the microwave/kitchen to warm up food we bought earlier, so after driving for hours, we wouldn’t have had to get back in the car and drive again, to find some overpriced, mediocre restaurant.
Sehr nette Gastgeber und schönes altes Haus
A lovely old county house in a great setting. Being out in the countryside, this is a tranquil location where a good night's rest can be had.
Quiet rural location, easy to find. Welcoming hosts, large comfortable room. Good breakfast .
Superliebe Menschen, auch wenn's nur für eine Nacht war, man fühlte sich wie Zuhause 😃
It was a lovely property and an amazing host! Ireland overall is an amazing country with beautiful views and even better people. Always felt safe, respected and loved the atmosphere. The hosts were super responsive, courteous and had amazing suggestions for local exploring.
Easier access to drinking water.
Friendliest special hosts. Great breakfast. Beautiful grounds.
Le calme infini, la nature à perte de vue, le confort de la chambre, les délicates attentions des hôtes, leurs conseils et connaissances utiles.

Prachtige locatie. Echt Iers. Vriendelijke mensen.
Als je goed keek zou er iets beter gepoetst kunnen worden maar voor ons was het ok
A stunning property was lovely and peaceful
All was fine
Mary was a fantastic host. In a picturesque location. Room was comfortable. 5 star
Got a great sleep, the hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely, fresh breakfast. Beautiful location, would definitely book again!
Host was lovely. Great breakfast. Beautiful location. Wifi excellent.
A lovely place with wonderful hosts, we felt well looked after and had a great night's sleep. We gor fresh homemade scones at breakfast and grear tips on activities for our family.
Hard to think of any cons.
The hosts are wonderful people, running a homely b and b on a working farm, in fantastic countryside.
This was a lovely traditional B&B in a beautiful 250 year old farmhouse house.
The history of the place. The host and hostess were extremely friendly. They gave us a lot of information about Ireland.
Nothing everything think was great.
Die Besitzer dieser Unterkunft waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Die Lage war ausgezeichnet, so ein schönes großes und gepflegtes Anwesen. Wir wurden gefragt was wir für ein Frühstück möchten und alles wurde frisch zubereitet. Gerne wieder.
The hosts Mary and her husband were very friendly and helpful
Mate Lodge is in a beautiful location with lovely views. The room was very comfortable and we slept really well. Breakfast was also fab. Thank you Mary and Raymond!

I loved everything about the place and so did the misses
This is a beautiful 18th Century Farm House. Mary has done a great job of incorporating tasteful internal decor in keeping with the character of the house. The furnishings and decor added to the experience. A great breakfast and welcoming hosts.
Der Standort ist perfekt - ländlich aber nicht zu weit draußen. Das Frühstück war zwar gut und original Irisch. Die Frau Gastgeberin war sehr nett. Der Herr Gastgeber war sehr gesprächig, was etwas störte.
Die Küche hatte den Blick ins Frühstückzimmer, wir fühlten uns ständig durch die Gastgeber beim Frühstücken beobachtet. Zudem hatte der Herr Gastgeber großes Interesse an einer Unterhaltung mit uns. Da ich die einzige Person unserer Gruppe war, die englisch sprach, war ich jedes Mal am Zug, eine Antwort zu geben. Ich hätte lieber das leckere Frühstück genossen. Aber ich wollte nicht unhöflich sein, zumal der Herr Gastgeber sehr nett war - typisch für diese irische Kultur. Zweitens: Die Zimmereinrichtung glich einem Museum. Es gab kein Internet. Wir hatten schon viele irische Häuser gesehen, aber hier ist dringend Renovierung notwendig - insbesondere bei dem Preis, der verlangt wurde!!! Mein Kind fürchtete sich in diesem alten/altmodischen Haus vor Spuk. Wir werden definitiv nicht wiederkommen.
Lovely old mansion house.
Room was very very small. Would have been good for children but not two adults. No decent chair to sit on. No table only a nightstand.
Old worldly with pleasant hosts.
Mary and Raymond were exceptional hosts Raymond gave me a comprehensive history of the lodge and military history in Kildare which was really interesting.The setting was idyllic I wish I could have stayed longer

The hosts were fabulous it giving us directions and the history of the house and surrounding area.
