Lough Cutra Cottage

Review Submitted: July 29, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Excellent. My family of six (wife and 4 young children) thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. Accomodation was spacious and well maintained. The grounds were lovely. My children enjoyed the various animals (especially the caretaker's dogs!). Good location for exploring the mid-west coast of Ireland. I would highly recommend staying there.

Wonderful Accomodations

Review Submitted: July 16, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
Our stay at the cottage on the castle grounds was truly exceptional! It is not often that you can vacation on a 600 acre estate. The cottage provided every amenity and the grounds were beautiful for hiking and getting back to nature. It certainly helped that the weather was excellent as well! We found it easy to sight-see from this location with our rental car. The atmosphere was very easy going.

I recommend this cottage and would return for another stay!

A Wonderful Experience!

Review Submitted: October 29, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We found the cottage on the 600 acre castle estate one of the best places we have ever stayed! The experience is not only wonderful but unique! When we arrived it was dark and we were exhausted from traveling. The next morning when we opened the front door and saw the view of the courtyard and the castle beyond it was wonderful!!! Edward is one of the nicest and most helpful " innkeepers" we have every met. He goes out of his way to make you feel at home. The time and consideration he gives his guests are well above and beyond the norm. If you are looking for a truly unique vacation experience --- this is the place for you. The only negative that we can think of is that our stay was way too short!!!

What a place!

Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Finding this gem on the internet was like discovering a treasure. Lough Cutra was even nicer than the wonderful pictures could convey. It was like living on a Medieval estate, with the castle looming over us and the sound of the rooster and chickens in the morning, the gardens, the horses and the thousands of pheasants (one even visited us in the dining room one night!). A fantastic time was had by our three generations including our 2 year old grandson Aidan. Hiking on the estate was amazing and Whalen's Pub is the best...Thanks Edward for the recommendation. The place is cozy and safe and clean, and gives a true feel of the Irish countryside. Edward and Ruth are so helpful in making suggestions and in answering questions by e-mail that we were able to find places that we would not have otherwise experienced. It was a phenomenal place to celebrate a "milestone Birthday" as my wife prefers to call it! Too bad all good things must pass, but the memories of Lough Cutra will live on.
