We are from United States spending 20 days in Ireland. We really felt spoiled at this lodge. It is about 2.5km from Adare Manor and the main road with the thatched cottages. Very quiet neighborhood and far enough away from the buzz of the main street but close enough to everything you want to see. It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms were cozy and plenty of hot water. Barry and Fran were over the top gracious and even provided two bottled waters in each bedroom plus breakfast foods in the fridge (coffee, tea, jams, butter, milk, eggs and variety of cereals). They were very responsive in all communications leading up to our trip and while we were here. Barry provided some great restaurant suggestions ( you must try Cafe Logr for breakfast!) This house was perfect and their super lovable dogs (Rory and Suzy were a hit with my family)! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful lodge.
