Golden in Shanagolden
My husband and I enjoy quiet properties with good opportunities for walks. Having stores and a great restaurant within walking distance is even better. This property had all that and more. Views on all sides, quiet and so comfortable. Theresa is a great host... It took us no time to feel right at home. Be sure to visit The Stand for a tasty meal and entertainment. This is a five star property and we'll return as soon as we get the chance.

A wee gem of a place
Beautiful, quaint country house with some original pieces in it ( cast iron stove/oven, for one). If you're looking for modern, it ain't that. Rooms are fairly small, which adds to the charm . Very quiet area with cows as neighbors. Great location between Cliffs of Moher and Dingle and Ring of Kerry. Convenience store/gas station just a few miles away Just the type of experience we were looking for, and to top it off, we arrived to tea and coffee service with scones laid out for us. House is gorgeous and we were so warmly welcomed.

Beautiful Property in a Lovely Location
My wife and I had the pleasure of introducing Ireland to her parents by staying at Theresa's beautiful home. There were fresh baked scones, butter, jam and milk on arrival which was very welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped for a fabulous stay. I would highly reccomend a visit! Thank younTheresa, we hope to come again soon!

Perfect for peace and quiet
We had a great stay at Sporting Lodge. Theresa and Kevin are great hosts, maintaining great communication and making us feel very welcome indeed. The property is very spacious and well equipped. It's in a quiet, rural location within very easy reach of lots of wonderful places to visit. We had trips to Counties Cork, Clare and Kerry as well as Dublin. And County Limerick itself has beautiful countryside and welcoming people. We really did feel very at home. We thought that Sporting Lodge was very good value and would recommend it without hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sporting Lodge! The hosts met us with keys, a tour, and homemade scones! It was perfect for our family of 6 to have a home base while exploring southwest Ireland for a few days.

The Perfect Family Getaway
My family just enjoyed a lovely 2 week-long stay at Theresa and Kevin’s property - my only complaint about the experience is that it came to an end! The home is situated in peaceful country surrounds, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy some quiet, quality time away with family. The location is a great jumping off point and within reasonable driving distance of many of the West Coast “must-see sights.” (Car is a must!) The property is beautifully maintained and the hosts could not be more helpful or gracious. Theresa would respond without fail to any questions or concerns during the full length of our stay. Beds and linens were comfortable and cozy which was a treat after long days spent adventuring. Clean and spacious home with fenced in garden checks all the boxes for a lovely family holiday. If you are considering spending yours here, do not hesitate to book! Very much hoping to return ourselves in the future!

Adorable Clean Country House
This house was the perfect choice for our group of five. We loved the convenience of having two and half bathrooms and a clothes washer and dryer. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and farm surroundings. The owner had baked fresh scones and left milk in the fridge for our arrival. She also responded to a few questions we had promptly throughout our stay.

Very peaceful
This lodge was located in a peaceful great location to access many different sites. We visited Killarney, The Ring of Kerry, Adare, Bunratty, and Knockpatrick Gardens (these are really close and private gardens so call before you go). Our hosts were so welcoming and even gave us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Communication was excellent and we were able to easily find the property using google maps.

Perfect in every way. If you’re debating where to stay, this is the place. Wonderful house and we were traveling with two teenagers and a nine year old. They loved it as did my wife and I. Owners were great people!! Place was spotless and the town of Adare was a short drive away and a wonderful small town w great restaurants and delightful pubs. Can’t wait to go back!

We lucked out by finding this place!
This farm home is a gem! The rural location was perfect for us. We made day trips and went back home for peace and quiet. Theresa was very prompt in getting back to us...especially on the day we locked the house key inside! Very clean and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. There is a great restaurant within a couple miles. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic house
Beautiful, comfortable house close to everything but quiet & relaxing. Myself, my husband, our 2 children boy 13 & girl 9, my dad & our 1&1/2yr old pup had an absolute brilliant time. Felt so safe & had everything we needed, very central for things to do, all within 40 mins /1hr drive. Then a lovely lady in the next house down May has a donkey who loves being petted. May is a lovely lady who took my daughter to pet Bess the donkey, she loved it. Absolutely beautiful, friendly people all around Shannagolden. Would definitely recommend this house we will definitely be back.

A lovely, quiet and comfortable house for a family holiday. Everything we needed was there ….even delicious home-made brown bread on arrival. The location was a convenient base for daytrips to Co Clare and North Kerry. For eating out, the local pub served great food too. All in all a great few days - thanks so much !!!

A lovely country home
We started our stay with tea and fresh scones courtesy of our hosts, who are fine examples of Ireland's famous hospitality.. The house is situated along a country lane, but we were able to drive to both Galway and Cork for daytrips. Mind the roundabouts, though. Nice local pubs and restaurants. The house was clean and comfortable. Limerick is relatively close by, and itself could take up a lot of your stay. We would love to return.

Perfect family spot in the Irish countryside!
With two city kids, 5 & 7, this was the perfect place to get away from the bustle and soak in the Irish countryside. Theresa and Kevin were so welcoming and accommodating - thanks for the homemade muffins and Irish Coffees! And John and May at the neighboring farm could not have been sweeter, introducing our girls to Bess, the donkey. The accommodations are spacious and full of charm, and having two bathrooms (with two showers) definitely helped us get out on the road early to see the sights. We loved the location, because it’s truly in the country, but still a very convenient base camp to see all the great spots in the West and the south. Don’t expect the typical touristy leprechauns, shamrocks, and tourist-crammed pubs here. This is the real countryside with all it’s lovely, friendly locals, twisting narrow lanes, and emerald-green, patchwork hills. We hope to return someday!
