We stayed at Carrickport Cottage for a week and had a great time. There was 8 of us in total (4 adults and 4 children) and there was something for all of us to do to keep us all happy. The house was spotless and had everything we needed, and was really stylish. There was a big garden for the children to play in and the games room was really fun for the children and adults! There were also books, jigsaws and DVDs to keep the children entertained, as well as TV and WiFi.
The house is right beside a beautiful lake, which was great for fishing and swimming. Communication with Helen was great. She responded really quickly to us when needed. Helen and Keith were really nice, welcoming and accommodating, which we really appreciated as it was difficult to find a place to suit us all. Keith was very kind to us, checking we had everything we needed and showing us how to use things. They really went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The kids had a fantastic time and tried so many things they hadn't tried before! They didn't want to leave!
The welcome pack was very useful, with local information and great advice. We did lots of local activities. The house is in a great location for beautiful scenery and there is so much to do within a 10-15 minute drive. Lough Key Forest Park is also only 30 minutes away, which we also really enjoyed. We went for a meal in a local pub on our last night which was a short walk down the road and the locals were also very welcoming. Helen and Keith even provided a torch and a hi-vis jacket to walk home safely! We had a brilliant holiday and would definitely stay at Carrickport Cottage again. The house and area are beautiful and it's so quiet and peaceful to enjoy some relaxing time with friends and family. We would highly recommend Helen and Keith's place.
