Aherlow Valley Hideaway

Gerry was a thoughtful and attentive host and shared lots of helpful information about the area. The home was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was nicely furnished with cooking tools, and everything was very clean. Truly all the main comforts of being at home in a gorgeous setting!

Loved the accommodation. Everything you need and more. The gardens and scenery around was superb. Gerry was a very welcoming host. Would definitely stay again.

Leaving

The garden setting is delightful with gorgeous views. The cottage itself is charming and well equipped. To us, this area is the prettiest in Ireland.

Nothing

This is a great place to stay for anyone interested in hiking or bicycling in the area. It was really comfortable, peaceful and quiet. The word "cosy" often means "small", but this house is spacious and well-appointed.

The plumbing and electrical fixtures are very European, which seem a little complicated to Americans.

The location was so beautiful. Amazing views, right in what they call the Glen. Great location to see all the different places in Ireland.

Located in the beautiful Glen oh Aherlow, this property was a haven in the busy travel itinerary. Homely with well stocked kitchen of utensils and some essentials like tea coffee and washing detergent.

Not a negative for us but anyone booking should realise this accommodation is country living eg water pressure may be less than in the cities.

The house itself is very cosy and private. Gerry helped with the local taxi numbers and even called one of them to get an idea of fare from train station to his house, since we didnt have a car. You will need a car if you really want to explore the area. The house is in a beautiful valley and you can explore nature at best if you have your own transport.

Flush in both the bathrooms didn't work properly. Needed time to refill the flush tank which could take 10-15 minutes and flushing of at least 3-4 times. There was no dishwasher, so we spent some time washing dishes by hand. The fireplace in the pictures looked great...but was not functional (notice said under maintenance). There was no water in the shower of common bathroom (we didn't bother the host in the morning since it was early, not sure if there is any other way to make it function, but the water heater was similar to the one in Ensuite bathroom) There is no convenience store nearby (which the host had informed on booking) so you have to go to town which is 8-9 kms from house to get groceries if you are staying longer than 1 day. There is a restaurant 2kms away (Aherlow hotel), we didnt explore that.

Very bright and spacious. Well equipped kitchen Lovely outdoor space.

Everything was satisfactory.

Everything! Beautiful location, friendly/helpful host. Lovely views and great garden for kids. Accommodation perfect for families
