We had a wonderful stay at Tessa's Gate Lodge! The place is just lovely!!! It really is the perfect couple's hideaway. It's in a beautiful area and easy to get to many places of interest nearby too. James looked after us during our stay and he was a delight to chat to and always happyto help!
The House:
_________
Wi-Fi reception was excellent and suitable for working from home including Zoom calls.
Plenty of TV options! Cable, Netflix, Disney Plus, and even DVDS! :D
The house was always warm due to underfloor heating and controls easy to use.
Kitchen is excellently equipped!! And the essentials provided very useful!
Decor and fittings are modern and of excellent quality!
Bed was incredibly comfy!!
Surrounds (For those who don't drive!)

We don't drive however it was quick to get to the Lodge from Mitchelstown, only a 15 minute Drive (14 Euro)
We visited Mitchelstown Cave which is 1.5hr walk away, the first 20 minutes is on a fairly busy road but after that, it's very idyllic! A very flat walk too.
Plenty of walking in the area!! We did the Glounreagh/ Attychrann Loops which took about 4 hours and was about 12km (you can also reach Galteemore from this route if you're up for it, we weren't!)
We ordered Tesco delivery to the Lodge with no problems at all.
There's a chip van about 25 mins walk avay in Kilbhenny, nowhere to sit when you get there however!
Unfortunately the pubs which are also in Kilbhenny weren't open while we were there... but I assume that will change in the future!
