"What a fantastic holiday home!"
The house was like a home from home, the attention to detail and the personal touches were perfect. Anne was a wonderful host and had left a lovely welcome basket with local produce which was greatly appreciated after our long drive, she was only a phone call away if we ever needed anything and had a wealth of local knowledge. Although we didn’t need accessible accommodation I did find that Rocklands did offer this with two downstairs bedrooms and a wet room. The enclosed, secure garden was also a plus for us as we had a lively grandson with us who loved being outdoors. I do hope we get the opportunity to stay again at Rocklands House as it was ideal for our family and the hospitality from Anne was exceptional. A first class, immaculately clean property I would highly recommend to anyone.
Dear Colette Just to sincere thank you for staying with us and also your beautiful comments which just simply means the world to me and meeting and have lovely guests like you and your family staying just us makes my job worth while . Wishing u all the best for the summer again and here hoping we will see u again real soon . Thanks again Anne Property Owner

"Fantastic property, spacious and very homely."
Fresh scones on arrival were a welcomed sight after a very long drive! House is very close to access to the mountains and Gap of Dunloe etc and Ann was able to advise local info about routes etc! There are a couple of good local restaurants doing a great pint of Guinness if you’d rather not make the slightly longer trip into town.
Thank you so much for being such pleasant guests and so delighted u enjoyed your stay and leaving house so clean . Thank you Property Owner

"We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful home with a wood burning fireplace that the owner- Ann Folley- lit for us upon arrival."
Upon our arrival, we saw that the owner had provided a basket with blueberry scones and strawberry preserves and tea bags and milk in the fridge. Had a Beautiful sunny, elevated reading room as well as a very comfortable TV room that even had international TV channels with USA TV & movies. We will definitely go back and stay at the Rocklands house.
