• Elisa (8/5): Casa espaciosa cerca de Cork - El espacio, la calefacción, bien para aparcar. Los burritos son muy bonitos
• Antonia (4/5): Decepción - Los dos burritos que hay en la finca La casa está muy deteriorada,sucia y no es cómoda. El menaje de la cocina insuficiente Las habitaciones no tienen armario ni espacio para poner las maletas Relación precio calidad nefasto
• Dan (8/5): Placut - Foarte linistita, departe de zgomotul orasului sau a soselei aglomerate . În mijlocul naturii Una dintre camere extrem de mica fara loc sa iti poti pune un troller ( de doua nu poate fi vorba).
• Travis (10/5): - The owners are super friendly! We also loved Sky! He is such a sweet dog, and my daughters loved playing with him every day :) My daughter left her market set and they sent it to our next hotel (and refused to be reimbursed!) :) This was so unexpected and service stands out compared to other Airbnb style accommodations. Nichts!
• Andy (8/5): Loved it. - Spacious and comfortable
• Xavier (10/5): Great stay in a lovely decorated and cosy farmhouse with a great location . - Location was great , very easy access to cork city . The house was very comfortable and clean . The host was lovely ! . There wasn’t anything not to like .
• Amy (7/5): Comfortable stay in the countryside with your own donkeys! - A lovely little farm house in a beautiful part of the country. Feels miles from anywhere but it's not far from Caragaline, the nearest town with plenty of options for food. The two pet donkeys were a highlight with the kids. No downsides that I can think of!
• Kelly (10/5): Beautiful farmhouse - The home was a beautiful farmhouse, well appointed with everything we needed! The special touches such as personalised recommendations about where to visit and where to eat, as well as the names of the resident donkeys were especially nice touches. The home was lovely and clean and incredibly warm and inviting. There were 6 of us all together ( four adults and two children) and we were easily accommodated in the large home. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare your own meals, and Carrigaline is a short 9 minute drive away to grab your essentials. The home is peaceful and quiet, the rural setting perfect for a family getaway and perfectly located to access Cork, Cobh and a variety of attractions nearby. We will absolutely visit again and stay longer, it has been the best place we have stayed at on our trip! The host/owner, Marjorie is responsive, friendly and incredibly helpful should you need anything at all. 10/10, I 100% recommend this wonderful farmhouse. Loved everything
• Bridget (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gail (8/5): Peaceful - Beautiful property and very quiet Isolated. Arrived late and had to go back to town to get milk etc. Perhaps some warning could be provided that nothing like that is supplied
• Arturo (10/5): Lovely farmhouse with all the amenities you will need to have a super relaxing stay. Super hosts! -
• Chong (8/5): Very relaxing, perfect for family - Very quiet environment, convenient to amenities if you have car Road leading to the property is quite narrow, need to be very careful especially at night when there is no street light
• Mihai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bronwyn (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous country place to relax.
• Pamela (9/5): A perfect way to relax and reconnect. - The cows and donkeys were a wonderful addition to. The place was clean, the heating was wonderful and there was plenty of space for a 4 person family. Really, the stay was wonderful. However if I had to pick something, a little bit of milk in the fridge or even a half loaf of bread would have been amazing after a long drive. Also, I was unable to find a free to air tv station. Instructions on this would be great!
• Winercon (10/5): ALL VERY GOOD! -
• Stanislav (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was nice and clean.
• Arlene (10/5): We enjoyed the cozy farmhouse life. - Beautiful home with lots of space for a large family. Try to arrive before sunset. It was a little scary at night. The local roads are one lane, two way.
• Katherine (9/5): Superb - Home from home, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean.
• Jeni (10/5): Short and COMFORTABLE - Huge - adorable- wish we could have stayed longer! The bathrooms were modern and comfortable! Even though it was hard to find our host answered the phone and talked us thru how to arrive!!! Hard to find at night -
• Keith (9/5): Superb - The location is good - it's a fair drive from Cork but close to Carrigaline for eating and shopping. The farmhouse has been very sensitively restored and nothing looks out of place. Kitchen-diner was great, showers terrific - the best we found out of five Irish properties that we stayed in - and the beds were huge and comfortable. There weren't any negatives.
• Lilly (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, beautifully maintained Beds could be more comfortable
• John (9/5): It’s a beautiful home, so homely and comfortable 10/10. - Not applicable A little more local information/manual on workings of TV
• Jennifer (10/5): Beautiful property, highly recommended -
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Lovely setting. Decor perfect. If anything the pictures do not do the property justice. Leaving!
• Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional - Throughly enjoyed our stay at the farm. Plenty of room for the five adults in our party. Even got to do some blackberry picking out by the road. The house was weĺl stocked and furnished. Would highly recommend this home to anyone.
• Anne (8/5): Very good - Beautifully appointed and maintained. The owners were quick to respond.
• Toni (10/5): Exceptional - This place is beautiful, so peaceful and the owners are great. It's modern inside, and very comfortable slept so well. Nothing that comes to mind we went out and ate most days
• Sandra (9/5): Great clean house with everything you need. Very clean house . Lovely bedrooms with 1 bathroom en-suite perfect with ple - It was spotless and it was from home to home Nothing
• Rory (10/5): Exceptional - What a great and fun place to stay for a few days. My 12 year old daughter loved the donkeys and cattle, and they loved to hear her play the harmonica. The location was great for anything in the Cork area. Highly recommended! The stairs were kinda steep for anyone with a bad back. But if you're younger it is no big deal.
• Deborah (10/5): Great stay for the week, highly recommend -
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (10/5): A wonderful short stay at a fantastic property with excellent communication provided by the owners. I would return for a - The property was beautiful and well maintained and very clean
• Amy (10/5): Perfect house for a relaxing getaway - The house is so gorgeous. In a perfect secluded area but a close drive to everything we wanted to see ! Would definitely recommend this property. The whole house was so homely and the interior was so beautiful. Will definitely be back again!
• Terri (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable - Size, amenities (dishes, cooking supplies, washer / dryer), enough room for six to eat and relax. A little difficult to find (though worth it)
• Clare (10/5): Perfect home from home - A fabulous stay at Ballea Farmhouse with my family & parents. Everything you need home to home. Beautiful scenic surroundings. My little girl loved the donkeys. We had a car but Ubers easily accessible to get into cork centre. Thank you we will love to return x Nothing x
• Caitlin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Romy (9/5): Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. - The house is beautiful and comfortable in a stunning location. The beds are comfortable, great heating and a kitchen well equipped for cooking. There was a coffee pod machine with no pods and no regular tea was provided. There was minimal toilet paper. The home is not close to shops so these things were disappointing.
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely location, quite, even left us some nice bread when we arrived
• Bonnyblue (10/5): Exceptional - Beautifully renovated, in the country but nit far from amenities
• Michelle (10/5): Lovely house - We had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The owner was very responsive and we loved the fresh flowers and muffins that were on the table when we arrived. It was also nice to see the donkeys through the kitchen window as I drank my coffee in the morning and again when we went outside to the back of the house. The three bathrooms were also a big plus and the Smart TV in the living room was appreciated by my kids. I would stay here again. One thing to be aware of is that when you get closer to the house, the road is narrow and only one car can drive through so you need to be careful in this area. Luckily there aren’t many houses and the few cars we did pass seemed to be people that lived in the area and they knew where to pull over so we could pass through.

• Antoinette (10/5): Peaceful, comfortable home in the countryside - Beautiful peaceful rural setting- comfortable home with everything you need - we were three adult couples but It would also be a great country break for Families with children.
