  • "Large house with comfortable beds set in a quiet countryside setting."

    It's a shame there is nothing in the garden to attract bees, butterflies or birds just very low cut grass. Loads of towels and hot water. Be careful of the hot taps if you have the immersion on as the water is absolutely boiling hot. TV needs to be updated but we didn't go to watch TV. It was a bit strange as the freezer was full of food and the fridge had half used jars. There was also clothes in one of the wardrobes. There are some beautiful walks around the lakes, canals and small country lanes nearby. Shops, pubs and restaurants are all with 10 to 20 minutes drive.

  • "House was very cold when we arrived."

    No instructions given on how to use gas fire. Hall carpet was wet due to leaking water from tank in hot press. Bottom room had no headboard, neither bedside lamp was working, no curtains, and blind was broken so couldn't be let up or down. Have used Sykes for 6 years and first time we were disappointed with the property.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Eileen's."

    It is in the perfect location, we traveled to the West Coast, into Northern Ireland and spent two days in Dublin. The Cottage was spotlessly clean, lovely bedrooms with ample wardrobe space. On nice evenings we loved sitting in the gorgeous garden, I even saw a Pine Martin one evening. Some decor is a little dated, but actually that fits in with Ireland in general and it's fabulous because of it

  • "Orla, Shane & Eva we’re very helpfull during our stay."

    A new bait fridge was purchased and installed by Shane as he wasn’t happy with the performance of the one that was there. The house was perfect in most ways. The only thing we would ask is for more electrical sockets in the bedrooms. As these were very limited and 2 of us have sleep Sonora and need extra sockets for our breathing machines. But other than that a perfect property. Many thanks. John, Dave & Rob.

  • "This is possibly one of the most versatile holiday homes that anyone could want."

    Everything is well thought out and really works making for the most enjoyable stay. The location is absolutely superb. It is tucked away in the beautiful setting of County Leitrim yet everything is so accessible with a short drive. It is so peaceful and quirt. At night it actually gets dark which is really great. Absolutely brilliant place and I recommend it to anyone every time.

    There were a couple of issues which Orla and Shane were extremely quick to fix, but otherwise, the stay was perfect! The cottage is in a lovely remote setting, very peaceful. I'd highly recommend a stay there.
