About this property

Family Friendly Romantic and Spacious Country Lodge On Private Grounds

Hollow Lodge is tucked away in stunning countryside with breathtaking views offering huge privacy and an opportunity to taste the pleasures of a slower pace of life. The house has recently featured in one of Ireland's leading interior magazine's 'Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living' magazine July 2017 issue .The lodge is deceptively spacious and oozing with charm with a very large country kitchen ideal for relaxing in and soaking up the atmosphere of the surrounding countryside.Renovated and modernised several years ago the architect remained sympathetic to the local rustic ideal. Included in accomodation downstairs is a utility room, shower/WC, sitting room with open fire and Sky TV Channels,unlimited broadband, large hall with wood burner,double bedroom. Upstairs are 3 further bedrooms - 1 double and 2 twins, an ensuite shower in the double bedroom. The kitchen leads to a well sheltered west facing external patio with granite cut table and seating perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing. Local village life can be experienced a short distance away (c. 5 mins walk) with local grocer, 2 pubs with traditional live music, and church.Beautiful sandy beaches are within easy reach with the sheltered sandy beach of Clogga Bay only a 35 min drive and the scenic Ballymoney Beach approx. 45 min drive..

Aaaand relax!
Previously described as 'quirky' Hollow Lodge is indeed unique sitting at the end of a drive so well away from the road which is very quiet anyway. Deceptively spacious and really well laid out with 4 bedrooms and three washrooms, huge, yes, huge kitchen, and two sitting spaces. Well equipped including a washing machine and dishwasher, lots of crockery etc. Outside there's loads of space in an interesting garden, a paddock and orchard(delicious plums!). Plenty of parking. Heating and electricity are extra as stated so be prepared, we spent about €35 for the week with no heating used which we feel is very reasonable as there were six of us. The house was very clean on arrival, linen and towels scrupulously laundered. Aoife, our host, was very contactable and responsive, thank you. Minor plumbing issue sorted the same day. Knockananna has a pub, a shop with fuel, a lot of history and a great GAA club. Easy access to Wicklow area, Dublin about 90 minutes, as is Kilkenny. We drove indirectly from Rosslare stopping at several lovely towns on the way, don't rush, enjoy the drive. Very very easy booking via VRBO.

Auf dem Land in Irland
Die Lodge ist super schön gelegen und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die irische Gastfreundlichkeit hat ihr ihriges dazu beigetragen. Die beschriebenen 16 Acer sind zwar irgendwie da, aber man weiß leider gar nicht, welche Weide oder Fläche dazugehört. Die Ausstattung war okay. Das ein oder andere war zu wenig (z.B. große Töpfe v.a. mit Deckel), aber alles in allem hatten wir, was wir brauchten. Nur leider war die Waschmaschine kaputt und das Bügeleisen nicht gebrauchsfähig und die Spülmaschine ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Vermieterin hat gleich jemanden kommen lassen wegen der Waschmaschine, war für uns aber zu spät (hatten alles bereits per Hand gewaschen). Die Heizung, wenn man sie die ganze Zeit laufen lassen würde, hätte 36€/Tag gekostet, aber der abendliche Kamin hat uns gereicht. Die anspringende Pumpe im 1 OG sobald irgendwo Wasser aufgedreht wird, ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und das Ablassventil im Dach war auch in einem der Schlafzimmer erstaunlich geräuschvoll. Alles okay, aber erwähnenswert. Auto ist ein Muss und Fahrrad nicht empfehlenswert. Die Lage war perfekt für uns und das Ambiente des Hauses hat die kleinen Unannehmlichkeiten überstrahlt. Die Vermieterin war per WhatsApp gut erreichbar und hilfsbereit.

Quirky cottage
Charming quirky character cottage in remote rural area. We found the tiny en-suite a bit of a challenge and it was a shame the bathroom didn’t have a shower as we were sharing with friends, rather than family. A few things in the kitchen need an upgrade (fridge and cooker) but was fine as we mainly ate out. Lovely grounds and ideal for our exploration of the area. Thank you Aoife.

Urlaub in einem sehr freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Land
Das Objekt war wunderschön, leider war es beim Einzug sehr sehr kalt. Jedoch erhielten wir durch die Eigentümerin sehr schnell Hilfe und erfuhren, wo sich das Kaminholz befand, hierdurch wurde die eigentliche Heizung unterstützt und nach zwei Tagen war das Haus aufgewärmt. Die Lage ist sehr sehr schön. Im Sommer stelle ich es mir noch schöner vor, da man dann auch den wunderschönen Garten nutzen kann.

Hollow Lodge is owned by Aoife & John Kennedy who live in County Dublin with their two young sons. Since taking ownership of the lodge over fifteen years ago we have extended and restored the house and adjoining buildings as well as laid out and planted the gardens and surrounding acreage (15 acres in all). We have tried to create a home away from home while retaining the relaxed atmosphere of a rural retreat to be enjoyed during all seasons! We enjoy outdoor activities - horse riding, walking, trekking, golf, sailing and many more. We have been welcoming holiday makers to Hollow Lodge for almost 15 years from all over the world whether it be for family holidays, family occasions and gatherings. short breaks, New Year's Eve events, Christmas & Easter breaks breaks, etc.
