Our stay at Moira's place was pleasant. Despite arriving late, we were warmly welcomed by the host with some hot tea. Homemade bread and a selection of butter and jams was served for breakfast. All in all, the room is nice and comfortable for three persons. The location makes a good overnight stopover before carrying on to the Ring of Kerry.

Moira and Anne were lovely hosts and made us feel very welcome in their home! The room/kitchen/bathroom were as described, and although we didn't use the sitting room, it would have been a very calming and homey space to relax in. Moira's homemade bread was delicious, and we appreciated the hearty breakfast provided by the hosts both mornings we were there. They also gave a great recommendation on a place to grab dinner, as well as sights to see in the area and on the next leg of our trip. The area they were in was also beautiful, and even when we got lost on the way to dinner, it provided a beautiful, scenic route which we were happy to have been able to see. Thank you for the wonderful stay, and hope to see you again next time we're in Ireland!

Perfect ! The room was fresh and clean and very cozy ! The breakfast was good and Moira is very friendly !

Moira and her friend were very welcoming to my friends and I. We were very lost trying to reach this place from Kilkenny (print the instructions to getting to Moira's place!) And she went out of her way to find us. Great service. We felt very welcome. Her home is cozy and if you're trying to road trip Ireland her home is only 40 min away from Killarney. I will definitely emphasize to print the instructions on how to get to their place. There are many unnamed streets and if you're driving during the night it's will be quite challenging.

It was a pleasure stay with Moira and Áine. We very much appreciated their openness and welcoming home. Unfortunately, the internet connection did not work at all during the three days we stayed. Nonetheless, it was a great stay overall.

Firstly, i have to thank Airbnb for giving me opportunity to meet a wonderful people like Moira and Anne. I am short of words to express my utmost gratitude pleasure and satisfaction to Moira and Anne for the love hospitality and kindness they have warmly showered on me and my girlfriend. Above all, their assistance swept our feet off the ground by driving us in their car which has really made us over comfortably convenient in moving around macroom. I homely enjoyed my stay in the house and i would love to be back again. I appreciated mostly the heavenly cleanliness of the room toilet kitchen and the entire house. I recommend Moira's house to anyone even to president Obama for a break or holiday.

Very welcoming, warm hearted people with a lovely home. They were eager to provide suggestions of where we should visit while in Ireland. Cared very much about their guests having a comfortable stay and were easy to talk to.

Moira and Anne were very welcoming, and the location was an easy journey into Macroom. The house and room were very comfortable and cosy, and they even provided a lovely breakfast for me before I left. I can highly recommend this place, and the hosts. Thank you Moira and Anne for your great hospitality.

Organic Haven is a delightful place to stay in and I would highly recommend it. The cottage is full of character, beautifully and tastefully decorated and situated in a picturesque farm setting with restful views. It is ideally positioned so that it easy to explore the sights of West Cork and Kerry such as Clonakilty, Skibereen, Gougane Barrra and Garnish Island and Sheep's Head Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. Cathal was an attentive host and left no stone unturned. He left a helpful guide for the local area as well as wine, chocolates and eggs from the resident hens and delicious honey also produced on the farm. He was very attentive during the stay. I hope to return to the cottage again. It was a really unique place to stay.

First, Cathal's lovingly built country home is one of our favorite AirBnB stays ever. But be sure you aren't expecting a hotel. We weren't, and it was even better than we expected. It is quite off the beaten track: no other homes in sight. That's a plus for us (we had (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps and Cathal sent us the precise location to track us in) without a hitch. It is authentic. While newly re-built, it was done so with love and care and traditional materials: stone and oak. We know that country homes don't strive for a constant indoor temperature (you bundle when it is cold out) but Cathal's geothermal heating never let it get below 67 degrees and he provided loads of firewood and peat to heat the large dining and living room to our taste. I grew up in the country, so was not surprised to need to stop the car to open the gate to keep the calves from getting out, then stop to close it again. Again, to us that was part of the charm of this lovely stay in the County Cork countryside. But if it is raining and you are expecting a doorman, you will be surprised. Also special were the eggs from the hens outside, while the 15-minute drive into Dunmanway for the Thursday farmer's market, along with the modern supermarket outside town, provided all else we could possibly need. We were prepared for Cathal to live on the property but were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves truly isolated, but with excellent wifi, a washer and drier, dishwasher, and TV if we felt like being a bit modern. Cathal checked in by email several times and was responsive when we had questions. All in all, a very special place.

Hi, we really enjoyed our two day stay in Cathal's superb house. The house is an experience in itself, and Cathal gave us a very nice introduction and overview. Every detail in the house is arranged with true love and you can see the pride of the owner. A true pleasure to stay there. If you have time: Stay longer! Heiko

I had seen Cathal's listing a long time ago, way before we had planned to travel to Ireland. So the minute we booked our tickets, I knew we'd be booking! We stayed in the farmhouse between our stints in Dublin and Galway and it was the perfect rural break. It's an adventure alone finding the place! My phone / map died 30 minutes from the house and we had to use paper maps to find it. The roads have no names, so it was thrilling and a little scary, but when we found it, it was the best moment of our trip! It's gorgeous. You can tell Cathal has put so much love into restoring this place and every detail is proof. We were traveling with our 2 year old daughter and it's a great house for family. We made fires each night, cooked in the adorable kitchen, and our favorite time was bath time. I felt like bathing a tiny princess in the glorious tub, and she begged for baths everyday. The property around the house is stunning and even on the coldest/rainiest day we walked around and explored, and our photos are beyond beautiful. We took day trips each day and visited the coast and small nearby towns. And one day we just stayed home, did laundry, read by the fire, and napped. It was heaven. I can't say enough good things about this place or Cathal. He's so kind and welcoming. He even took us to see his new baby calf, sheep, and cattle! If you're looking for a rural Ireland experience, this is it. I can't wait to go back!

Cathal epitomizes what it means to be a host. He welcomed us into his home, had stocked the fridge, made a fire, had a bottle of wine waiting. He even provided bones for our dogs. His home is the perfect remote getaway... and comes complete with a cow and her newborn calf. It was a perfect break. Thank you for your hospitality Cathal !!

We were met by Cathal after a long drive from Dublin, we were greeted by fresh flowers, wine, chocolates and he had lit the fire for us as it was a chilly day. Cathal made us feel welcome straight away, showing us around and making sure we had everything we needed, he even went to the trouble of dropping us down fresh eggs the next morning for breakfast. Everything and anything we needed was in the house, including the ingredients of a hearty breakfast. Before arriving Cathal had asked us if there was anything we were interested in seeing or doing on our stay, based on our requests he had made us a personalized welcome pack with recommendations for local attractions and amenities, which we found very useful. The house itself is beautiful and set in a stunning location. We were four adults and one toddler and we we found it very spacious and extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable and the sitting room area is very relaxing. Overall a great experience and we would definitely go back.

Of the 5 nice homes that we stayed in during our trip to Ireland, this was far and away our family favorite. The pictures simply do not do the house justice. The house has a tremendous amount of space, it was very clean and well maintained. The views from the house are spectacular, waking up to the sun shining on the distant hills and seeing the cows grazing below. Truly a gem. The property is very remote, so my advice to future guests is to make sure you have any of your food or toiletries bought ahead of time. However, we knew this when we booked it and was actually one of the reasons for choosing this house. Our kids also really enjoyed the sheep on site, feeding the chickens, collecting the eggs and watering the garden. Cathal was a gracious host, meeting us at the property and accommodating our crazy travel schedule. He was very thorough in his walk through of the house and his genuine love of this house was evident. We would highly recommend this place for those looking to escape to the country and enjoy the natural beauty of Ireland. When my wife and I return to Ireland, we will definitely include this house in our itinerary.

This was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in. Cathal greeted us upon arrival at this beautiful three bedroom farmhouse on a huge farm with cattle, chicken, and even a horse wandering just outside the house. The fridge and kitchen were stocked with fresh veggies, fruits, meats, and more from the farm and surrounding farms. When we needed something (a lighter to start a fire or kindling) Cathal came over and brought one by. We enjoyed 4 nights there, sipping tea, wine, and whiskey by the wood stove fireplace each night. There is a beautiful bathroom, with an old school toilet (which make sure you pay attention to how to flush it when he shows you). The entire place is picturesque, feels homey, and is extremely private. We used it as a home base for trips to Kinsale, Dingle (2.5 hours away), and exploring areas around Kerry. You'll want GPS or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps at least to find the place and the drive on the single track road once you're on their property is fairly hilly and difficult driving manual without stalling. Or just rent an automatic. :) We would highly recommend this as a place to stay and hope to come back with our whole family some day.

Really loved staying in macroom! The hosts were attentive but also gave us our space to do our own thing. Helpful with picking out places that weren't super touristy! Quiet neighborhood and pubs in a walking distance- would stay here again!

Geraldine was a wonderful and gracious host! She was very accommodating and allowed us to stay an extra night when our plans changed. I would highly recommend her!

We had a lovely time with Geraldine. The house was quiet. The area was great.

Geraldine and Dennis trully were super-hosts!!! Everything was fantastic: the room, the breakfast and the hospitality! Even down to little details such as bottles of water, travel guides and even chocolates in the room. I'd highly recommend anyone wishing to stay in Macroom or the surrounding areas to stay here!

Wow! What an amazing place to stay! Geraldine was incredibly friendly and prepared us a beautiful breakfast both mornings! Her dogs are adorable and fun as well! The house is clean and very cozy. I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Dennis and Geraldine were so friendly and welcoming. Dennis was extremely helpful in planning our road trip through the Beara Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. Excellent breakfast and wonderful hospitality. We really enjoyed our time in Macroom. Could not ask for a better stay!

The room and house are perfect for people traveling around this area - room was very clean and everything went OK with us, even having booked in the arrival day. Breakfast is also perfect and unusual in AirBnB. Geraldine is really friendly, helpful and and interested in solving all our issues. A+++

A lovely home situated very close to the main part of the town, we were made to feel very welcome and Geraldine was a wonderful host

We stayed at Liney's place with our 4 year old girl for three nights and it was just perfect. The cottage was exactly as described, very comfortable with everything you would need. The area so beautiful and peaceful. You would need a car as it's in the middle of nowhere which was exactly what we wanted. Liney was a perfect host, always there happy to give you any information if needed. Liney has friendly pets that were a highlight of our daughter's stay :) We would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again :)

Very cute cottage in a pretty garden with very family friendly cat and dog. The place was spacious and the kitchen had everything you'd need for a decent stay. The hosts were lovely and the delicious scones were a bonus treat.

Liney and Jackie were absolutely wonderful hosts. The pictures they have do not justify how stunning their place is! The homemade scones were perfect and the fresh produce from their garden was the best in Ireland. My family is greatful for knowing you two. Looking forward to seeing you in Texas, you will always be welcomed.

Lovely stay at Shiplake, very nice hosts and beautiful setting.

We felt so welcome here! Liney wasn't there to greet us, but the stove was ready to light and a handwritten letter with welcoming instructions was waiting for us. The pictures do not do it justice. The house and garden are lovey and have been tastefully done up recently. Everything looks very well kept and the house has a real familiair feel to it. Details like art and paintings on the wall (made by Jackie) make this one of the nicest cottages we visited. (Note: there are some old and new pictures mixed on the Airbnb-page. I have asked Liney to remove the old ones.) It feels like you're in a secluded rural 'bubble', but just a few minutes out there's a village with supermarkets, cash machine and pubs. There is a number of local 'what to do' guides that really helped us plan our days. There is enough to be done in the surrounding area's. Our 2 year old girl enjoyed herself with just running around and playing with the dog and cat. Liney and Jackie were very welcoming and friendly hosts and always ready to assist or answer questions. Some standard things are present, like oil, vinegar, soap, dishwashing liquid, salt and pepper, bin bags, toilet paper and kitchen towels. The kitchen is well equipped with a big oven, fridge and a small freezer, amongst other things. The double bed is very comfy and a travel cot had been installed for our daughter. The only thing I missed: Wifi. But with a € 20 prepay card with 4G, that problem was easily solved. To put it quite simply: an absolute gem. We loved it and will be back.

The cottage was ideal. Plenty of room. Clean, washing machine available, warm and cozy. Delightful setting and magnificent views. Would definitely stay again.

Liney and Jackie are wonderful, they are warm and welcoming. We instantly felt at home with both of them. As we had never been to Ireland they both gave wonderful recommendations of where to go and what to see. They even put fresh towels in the bathroom in case we didn't have any (we didn't, I'd left them). And the farmhouse is wonderful as well. The kitchen was well equipped and handy. It was difficult to leave every morning just from the view every day. We are excited to come back.

We had a wonderful 3 nights' stay in Shiplake Mountain Farmhouse and Liney and Jackie were so nice and welcoming. They were very accommodating and had 2 travel cots set up for us on our arrival and sent us home with yummy homemade scones fresh from the oven. The house was clean and had all the mod cons you would need. It was the perfect mountain retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. There is a dvd player in the house so if you have smallies it might be worth popping a few in your bags to bring along, though there is a small selection in the house. But the garden and surroundings are so nice, hopefully the weather would be too nice to need the tv!! I'm really looking forward to returning sans family for some 'me' time and a little bit of peace! Shiplake Mountain Farmhouse was my idea of the perfect place to make magical memories for my children - we'll be back!! Caroline & Family

A most beautiful area. The house is very modern, clean. It's quite a rural area so not a lot of choice in Shops and restaurants. We brought our food,wine with us.Nessa has a little lodge as well as rooms in the house so choose the ones you want. Neasa did provide tea,coffee, fruit, breakfast. A lovely experience.

A true gem: fantastic location for nature lovers, beautiful views starting at the breakfast table, tastefully decorated rooms and a host who really went out of her way to make us feel at home in every respect, from tipps and suggestions over spoiling us to the odd game of table tennis or Pool with the kids. We'll definitely be back some time!

My partner and me were looking for a nice and quiet house to rest between Cork and The Ring of Kerry. This house, was the perfect option. It was so nice to rest there, a very disconnected area and peaceful, surrounded by fields and farm animals. Need a car to get there.

Very nice and quiet place with beautiful nature. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Lovely and quiet location, perfect for getting away from it all.

Apartment was a little hard to find at first, but when we stopped for directions, discovered we were in the right place. Our host was very welcoming and made sure we knew where everything was as well as how to get in touch if we needed anything else. The apartment had a lovely view over the valley.

The host canceled this reservation 43 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I have to say it was fantastic the host were amazing it was a home from home , we were attending a wedding and they even went out of their way the next morning to drive us into the town to collect our car... I would 100% stay again and recommend it to anyone especially even you just need that away with peace quite and beautiful surroundings
