Shannon River House & Gardens

The most loveliest home that is comfortable with an incredible history. The family that owns it has been there for generations and Mark was very forthcoming with sharing the history and answering all my questions about the area, with some really great suggestions on where to eat and visit. The grounds are so gorgeous too set right on the river Shannon, with its own dilapidated church, weir and castle! You do need to be mobile with a car to stay here though and get anywhere, which I did. Even so, Mark was happy to offer to pick me up from town. He even offered me a glass of red wine on my only nights stay! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone travelling around Ireland and who wants a quaint place to stay. Mark, thank you.

Nothing!

The owner was so welcoming and helpful. My son and I absolutely loved this place. It is absolutely beautiful the grounds are just amazing.

Een magische plek in de middle of nowhere. Super fijne gastheer. Hij heeft ons zelfs nog weggebracht naar de trein omdat wij met openbaar vervoer waren. Maar een (huur) auto is wel aan te raden. Heerlijk bed. Fijne mogelijk om te koken. En prachtige natuur om het huis. En een oud kerkje. Ik zou er graag nog een keer naartoe gaan maar dan in een ander seizoen.

Het enige was dat de deur van de slaapkamer niet op slot kon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at such a beautiful place and are host was wonderful. We were made to feel extremely welcome and had the lovely opportunity of meeting the family who were also great (including the dogs). The whole atmosphere was friendly and inviting, the view from our bedroom window of Shannon River was fabulous. It was so peaceful and relaxing there, with a really comfortable bed and a totally absorbing ambience of sheer enjoyment. With Mark's knowledge of the surroundings his suggestions of places to visit were perfect. We had an incredible, and unforgettable time and wouldn't hesitate on recommending this as a place to stay. If we're ever in that area again and need accommodation, we'll definitely go back there.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Mark was an amazing host and gave us a tour of the grounds and a warm tipple to wet the whistle. Gave us a lift to town to watch a rugby match. Will be back again.

The rain

It was a hidden treasure tucked away by the Shannon river. The architecture of the house alone was enough to say it was a marvelous stay. And when you add the service from Mark, our host, his puppies, and the overall freedom we had to relax in the lounge area and dine in the dining room and basically believe for a few days that that was our home away from home, well that’s where our testimony truly stems from.

Atendimento do anfitrião foi muito cordial e prestativo,

lugar um pouco escuro a noite e houve alguma falha na limpeza.

The property was quaint in its history, and nestled on an idyllic peninsula of the Shannon River. The owner Mark was wonderful. He was ever so helpful with answering questions and offering suggestions. He knows the area very well and has quite a story to tell about his family’s property.

It was great location. It was a great big room and really comfortable. Host was a great welcome. We had a really short stay unfortunately but we're really looking forward to going back and staying again.

We knew to expect the place to be under renovation. So we didn't have anything to really complain about. It is not suited to anyone looking for hotel-like standards. It is a homey place for acccomodation.
