Wonderful cottage and location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coolbeg Lodge. Patrick and Maura were awesome hosts. We were greeted with homemade scones and jam. Absolutely delicious!! The cottage had everything we needed and is conveniently located near a bus route that runs from Limerick to Ballybunion, We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet country setting.

SW Ireland

Make sure you request an air code for location as it would make your initial arrival so much less stressful but gets easier each time. Only 1 restaurant with bar close by but a great base for day trips for sites in Southwest Ireland.

Darling cottage, convenient to many attractions

We were 3 seniors staying in this darling cottage. It was extremely comfortable with nicely -separated bedrooms. The house was well appointed. The hosts provided lots of reading materials including about area attractions. Pat greeted us when we arrived and spent time explaining the heating, appliances, and the area.

Fantastic Cottage

This cottage was great. When we drove up and by the way we were early, the owner welcomed us and in a short time brought us homemade muffins and cream. The kindest people and the area and cottage were more than perfect. I really didn’t want to leave. I will be going back there for sure next time I visit.

Coziest home away from home

Our stay started off with being met personally by the property owner, Pat. He did a walk through of the property with us, showing all important things to see/know. He brought us each slices of apple cake and milk for tea. The home was supplied with basic cooking supplies, and tea/coffee/hot cocoa. The home was made to be a perfect place to stay while on our vacation. Thanks again, Pat!

We found a piece of heaven at Coolbeg Lodge

Our stay at Coolbeg Lodge was absolutely amazing! Patrick and Maura were the kindest and most welcoming couple! I would have to say if we were neighbors they would be treasured friends! The cottage itself was everything and more as described on the website. Clean, quiet, fully equipped and more than enough room for our family of 4. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the grounds as the flowers and rock buildings/fences were enchanting. Beautiful people and beautiful cottage!

Quaint and picturesque property

Patrick greeted us with muffins and jam even tho we arrived late. He showed us in and explained how things worked. Well stocked kitchen, and when I needed additional baking and measuring tools he was happy to provide them. Even gave us fresh herbs from his garden. The property is beautiful. Lovely grounds. We were not far to many of the islands historical sites. Nice stay, nice people. Clean accomodations.

A lovely cottage on the outskirts of Limerick city

Our family of five (2 adults and three kids) stayed here for 3 nights. It's only approx 25 mins drive into Limerick and was easy to find. The owner Pat welcomed us with a well stocked cottage including fresh milk and homemade buns. The cottage was spacious and well laid out. The children were pleased to have their own beds to sleep in. It's worth mentioning that the beds were very comfortable, with excellent mattresses and even electric blankets!. One thing worth noting is that as it is an old property it can get quite cold at night and we often needed to turn on the heating to keep warm. The electricity is extra and our three night stay cost us an additional €20.
