From the minute we arrived we were in heaven.. our kids loved the greetings from the rescue ponies.. once we were taken to our new home for the next week by the lovely Barbara we fell in love. The front garden area with pond was just breathtaking. The house itself was gorgeous and so clean not a thing to fault.. our little neighbours the chickens, ducks and rabbits were a great treat. The kids loved greeting them first thing in the morning and last thing at night... not far from towns/city but far enough that you didn't hear any noise.. definitely recommend this little piece of heaven. 5* stars all the way...

This property is exquisite. Barbara has thought of everything you'd need and has furnished the apartment with quality linens and furnishings. The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable, not to mention private and set in a beautifully quiet location.. It was so peaceful overlooking the pond, complete with ducks and ducklings when we were there. Maurice had a fire roaring ready for our arrival on a blustery day, right before Storm Hannah. We felt totally safe (during the storm) at The Pond House, especially with our rental car being able to be undercover. Do yourself a favour and book in for Sunday Lunch at Longueville House just down the road at Mallow. Superb! Thank you, Barbara and Maurice.

Host Info

Host Review Score 10

The apartment is situated on the ground floor of an extension of an eighteenth century country house. There is a private entrance to the apartment and a patio with barbeque area for the exclusive use of the guests. A generous double bedroom can accommodate four by utilising a clever additional double bed which pulls out of the settle sofa. There is an ensuite bathroom. The main living dining and sitting room overlooks the duck pond and garden.The well equipped kitchen runs along one wall with a rustic dresser and wooden dining table completing the kitchen dining area. There is underfloor electric heating throughout and in addition a wood burning stove. Saffron Hill is a small farm with sheep, pigs, ducks, hens and honey bees. There are also Polytunnels and vegetable and flower gardens. There is an old walled garden on the property also. Mobile phone reception is very poor in Doneraile village. IT IS BEST TO DOWNLOAD MAPS BEFORE TRAVELING. THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS SAFFRON HILL DONERAILE.

Barbara and Maurice live in the adjoining house and are available at all times to help with advise or with any problems that may arise

Tucked away in the rolling landscape of the Blackwater Valley, this charming and sensitively converted rural apartment makes a perfect escape for those with a passion for nature, rambling, and all that is good about the outdoors. Doneraile park is within walking distance and the Ballyhoura and Galtee mountains within easy reach. A generous double bedroom can accommodate four by utilising a clever additional double bed which pulls out of the settle sofa. There is an ensuite bathroom.
