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...
IrelandThis 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.
