Brent lodge - luxury hill top living by the water

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay with our dog at Marty’s Hill top lodge. The views across the lough were fantastic from the massive windows and the balcony. The decor throughout was lovely, and you could tell a lot of thought had gone into the little touches that made the space feel special. We especially appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked with things to cook with and cleaning products provided. Marty was really welcoming, and gave us some great local recommendations that helped us make the most of our trip.Would recommend for a lovely stay!"

Spacious Apartment with Private Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Cute and clean apartment with lots of room. Separate living room and very spacious bedroom. Was also greeted with a small welcome grocery package.. eggs, bread, milk, cookies! - thank you..Loved the jetted tub and the recliners in the living room! Is also walking distance to pubs in downtown ( the Ivy and the Parlour were old and authentic and had some great people!) One thing to note: if you have mobility issues, a bit of a slope down the driveway and a few stairs into the apartment. Would definitely stay again!"
