Lakeside relaxation

We had 8 adults and 2 children staying and it was very comfortable. The property was clean and well maintained. The kids had loads of entertainment and we really loved the amazing lake views. Nothing like dropping a fishing line after a day of swimming and enjoying the serenity!Air con worked well for a summertime visit and kitchen was well equipped for everything we needed.A super enjoyable stay, would definitely come again!

BWA 2024

Beautiful house overall but AC is underpowered when upstairs blinds are left open. Property was 38 degrees inside when we arrived and only cooled by the time we left. IT would have been nice if someone arrived early to turn on AC or upstairs blinds where left closed when nobody on site.

A weekend at Rathmines

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall location and house was good, however, we had a party of 8 adults, 2 children and an infant. The house had 4 rooms with 2 queen beds and 4 single beds and a sofa bed. Unfortunately the sofa bed was dirty and very uncomfortable as you could feel the metal as you laid down which of course made it unusable. We therefore had to share single beds which were not comfortable at all. As mentioned to the owner if the price was as mentioned during the booking we would have no issues, however, we were made to pay an additional amount for over 6 adults which I though was not fair as we could not utilise the sofa bed and the rental manager/owner did not provide us a refund even though we shared pictures and explained the situation.If you are booking for over 6 people I would not recommend this house, however, if it’s for 6 or less it’s a nice little getaway place.
