Lovely cottage, we had a fantastic stay. Waking up to the birds cherping in the morning, nice outside space, get some steps in by walking to Barley Harbour. Really nice countryside and overall a great place to relax and unwind. Check in process was easy and the cottage itself was cosy and kept in great condition. 5 stars, nothing bad to say about our stay here, highly recommend!

Ireland Vacation

Absolutely beautiful property tucked away from everything, yet it’s within a 30 minute drive from what one may need regarding grocery stores, restaurants, etc. It was also cozy and a central location which was great for us. Eva was always available for any questions we had. Great experience overall!

Relaxing in Ireland

In a very quiet and relaxing environment we stayed in Newtowncashel. We made trips from there to different sides of Ireland, like Dublin, Cliffs of Mohar and Galway. Within a two hours drive a lot of sightseeing can be done (although for Europeans is driving on the other side of the road challenging). The owner was very friendly and helpful which made our stay stay very pleasant.

Picturesque

Out in the country away from the noise and busyness lies a piece of heaven. A beautiful house with all the amenities one might desire, comfortable beds, a cozy living room with a fireplace, and the stars are all alight from the back patio. We could not have chosen a better place to stay.

Summer holidays

Even if the weather was not very fine, we enjoied visit the county and appreciate the quiet area. For us, this place was a little bit too isolated and far away from the pubs and accomodations.

Quiet Country Property

Eva was very hospitable and kept in touch to make sure we enjoyed our stay and we were comfortable. We asked to stay an extra night and she was very accommodating. The property is about 15 minutes from the nearest town but it is very nice and quiet. A good escape to enjoy the Irish country side. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to avoid the city.

Fantastic Stay!

Starting from the beginning- 1) Very prompt communications from Eva 2) The post code provided for the location is very accurate and took us to the property without any need for correction (used google maps) 3) There is only one word to describe our first impressions of the house and its surroundings- Wow! 4) Eva showed us the house and explained each and every bit of information that we could need while we were there. 5) The house has a Wifi (could not see mentioned in the description) so our children were very pleased. 6) Eva had come to welcome us and hand over the keys -she is friendly and very professional. The owners had taken care of everything that could be required during the stay and I mean everything (even with instructions to use the appliances). 7) The house is situated at about 3-5 minutes of walking distance from the lake (Barley Harbour) . 8) Longford town is about 30 min drive- here you can find the superstores (Tesco/Aldi/Lidl etc.) There are other small grocery stores that we found a bit closer. 9) Most of the places that we visited during our stay were from 30 min (around Longford) to 2.5 hours ish (Galway and Cliffs of Moher) of drive. 10) All in all the stay was perfect for us (family of 5) -the house with its amenities were excellent/the surroundings were beautiful and the villagers are friendly and we really enjoyed- Thanks to Eva and Freddy. Would recommend.

Barley Harbour Lodge "Trout" was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was comfortable and well-equipped, and it was very peaceful and quiet. Eva was a thoughful host and gave us a half dozen fresh eggs from her chickens. I enjoyed sitting outside with my morning coffee (on the days it didn't rain) and listening to the birds, and the cows made fun neighbors. It is also a good base for exploring the area, as it is centrally located. There are many fascinating sights nearby, including the mysterious Corlea Bog trackway and Rathcroghan archaeological site. We really enjoyed our week-long stay!

Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig in der Mitte des grünen Irlands. Von dort aus hat man diverse Möglichkeiten zum wandern und besichtigen der Sehenswürdigkeiten (z.B. Athlon, Clonmacnoise). Mit der Bahn (nächste Bahnhöfe ca. 30 Minuten entfernt) fährt man gemütlich, günstig und pünktlich in die größeren Städte wie Dublin, Galway oder Sligo. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind gut mit dem PKW erreichbar. Das Cottage bietet alles was man im Urlaub benötigt. Uns hat nichts gefehlt. Neben einer komplett eingerichteten Küche, war das Cottage tadellos sauber. Die Gastgeber haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen, alles erklärt und tolle Hilfestellung geleistet bei der Planung der Ausflüge. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Irland und können sowohl die Lage, als auch die Gastgeber mit vollem Herzen weiterempfehlen. Vielen lieben Dank Familie Bischop.

Ruhe und Erholung pur

Ein idealer Ort in den Midlands, im Herzen Irlands. Nicht weit zur Atlantikküste, Ausflüge nach Sligo oder Galway, von dort eine Fahrt entlang des Wild Atlantic Ways nach Clifdon bieten sich an. Aber auch nach Dublin ist es nicht weit, bietet sich ebenfalls für einen Tagesausflug an. In der Näheren Umgebung gibt es einige schöne Schlösser und Parks zu besichtigen. Wir hatten einen erholsamen Urlaub in einem schön gelegenen Cottage, etwas außerhalb des nächst gelegenen Dorfes. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, bietet viel Platz, so dass wir uns auch an den Ruhetagen, an denen wir nicht unterwegs waren, wohl gefühlt haben. Der Kontakt zu Eva als Vermieterin war immer herzlich unkompliziert.

Tolles Cottage in wunderschöner Landschaft

Eins von den wenigen Objekten, die den Bildern auf der Website auch wirklich gerecht werden. Es ist an alle Dinge des täglichen Bedarfs gedacht. Eva ist eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Leider haben wir sie nicht persönlich kennengelernt. Aber ihr Sohn war immer gleich zur Stelle, wenn es Fragen gab und hat sich sehr nett um uns gekümmert. Die Lage des Cottage ist ideal für Ruhesuchende, die gerne mal abschalten wollen. Aber es gibt auch einiges zu sehen und zu tun in der näheren Umgebung. Von uns eine klare Empfehlung!

Beautiful home & location

We needed a place at the last minute and we're happily pleased to get this one. It was beautiful inside and out, completely equipped with everything we needed and it made us feel completely at home. A wonderful fireplace added to the cozy feel and the quietness of the land around us made us totally relax. Eva, our hostess, was so kind to get us in last minute and then showed us all that it had (including a luxury coffee maker) and how everything worked. We would love to stay there again!
