Great family holiday

Gillian’s house was extremely comfortable and spacious, the pictures do not do it justice. We had a wonderful stay. There were lots of interesting places to visit to suit our wide range of ages. The communication with Gillian was very easy, would definitely recommend

Family vacation in Ireland

The house is in a perfect location to see the majority of sites on the western side of Ireland. It’s quiet, with plenty of privacy, nestled next to a lake filled with wildlife. Will definitely stay at the house again if I come back to visit Ireland.

Large home in quiet countryside

The house had everything we could need and more. It was very spacious and had plenty of room for our cousins who live nearby to visit as well. It was a great central point for the west of Ireland to do day trips from as well. Grateful to have stayed here and the host was very quick to respond

Fabulous 2 week stay

Cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. The house and surroundings are so relaxing and beautiful. There was plenty of room for 9 of us. I loved waking up to the sound of the cows in the pasture behind us and the birds on the lake. Only 15 minutes from the Shannon airport. Just a short drive to Newmarket on Furgus where there were several pubs, places to eat, and a grocery store. You definitely need a car because nothing is really within walking distance. But it was the perfect base for our trips every day. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Gillian for everything!!

The home is great for a large family or small family reunion. The kitchen has everything you need. Located on a quite, country road. The yard is spacious and has nice views of the lake. Great for day trips to many sites and only 15-20 to SNN.

Newmarket-on-Fergus Ireland

We were two families, 4 adults and 5 children ages 14-6, traveling together to visit Ireland and to see friends and family living in the Ennis and Limerick area. This was a great location as our base. We were able to enjoy cooking breakfasts each morning then spending days exploring wonderful areas, before returning to relax in the evenings. The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, and worked very well for us. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Property

My wife and I cancelled our hotels and booked this house for 7 days and it was so amazing that we booked and extra day and changed our flights to fly out of Shannon instead of driving back up to Northern Ireland and taking ferry back to Edinburgh. We are coming back to Ireland in 2027 and will definitely try to book this beautiful home again. We took day trips to Dublin etc. Gillian was great.

Family Time

Our vacation consisted of 2 families, 5 adults and 4 children. The home was very comfortable for all of us. And had all the comforts of home. We loved how central the home was to all the cities we visited, Galway, Cork, Dingle Peninsula, Roscommon, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin and Aillwee Experience! Thank you Gillian and allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Relaxing family vacation in a beautiful area

We had a fantastic holiday here. The house has lovely views of the lake and is positioned in a nice area. The house was clean and big with 4 rooms with double beds and 1 room with 2 single beds. The beds are super comfy. The kitchen has everything you need. The property is only a few minutes from Newmarket on Fergus that has a shop and a few restaurants. The larger towns (Ennis, Shannon) are only 15-20 min away.

Comfortable Home in the Country

We had a wonderful time staying at Gillian's property in Newmarket on Fergus. It was very quiet and comfortable for our family group of eight. The house is equipped with all the necessities and quite a few extras. Communication with Gillian was great prior to and during our stay. The house is close to Bunratty Castle and the Quin Abbey (built in early 1400's). The town of Ennis, about 20 minutes away, has shopping, great restaurants & nightlife. It is a relatively short drive to Cliffs of Moher & Doolin as well as the ferry to the Aran Islands. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Ireland.

Beautiful location

We stayed at the cottage recently with our young children while in Ireland attending my brother’s wedding. Amazing location, spacious cottage with everything we could need. Very easy to find, following the owner’s helpful guidance. The wedding was at Dromoland Castle, so the cottage was perfectly located; no more than and easy 10min drive away. Shops easy to access in Newmarket-on-Fergus only a few mins away by car. Warm, comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this cottage. The owner’s communication has been fantastic at every stage. Many thanks!
