We had a nice 2 weeks peaceful and quiet Betty was wonderful and very nice house was lovely and clean everything you need was there I would have no hesitation in recommending this house to my friend's and family I would like to thank Betty and the owners for their kindness

“It had everything we needed.”

Nothing we can complain about. Thanks Steve & Amy.

Angela September 2024

“Property was in a lovely, quiet and safe location.”

It was ideal for a few days of sightseeing as there is so much to see and visit within a short drive. House is spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Everything worked as it should and the quality of all items was excellent. We travelled with our Dog, who loved the enclosed yard and garden and had a ball playing with the neighbors cats. I would recommend you bring throws or blankets to put on sofa and chairs. Betty the caretaker, who lives near by was so lovely and pleasant to deal with.

“A lovely traditional Irish cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

We enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have some outside furniture so we could sit out Also the electricity meter needs €1 and €2 coins so make sure you have some when you arrive.

- Helen, June 2024
Mary October 2023

“We had a lovely stay very clean and warm Betty was lovely and very welcoming she couldn't do enough for us owner was very nice.”

We got nice weather and was nice to go walking with dog I will recommend to my friends I would like to thank Betty and the owner.

Valerie June 2023

“Surprisingly spacious, adequately comfortable, well equipped, genuinely retro and quaint.”

I know I’m fussy about beds, but the mattresses would definitely benefit from a topper! We were there in hot weather, and it did get very warm upstairs suggesting that it isn’t very well insulated and would be expensive to heat in winter. The yard was safe enough for our dog, but it is just a concreted farmyard with no grass. Overall it was good value and a lovely quiet situation close to some good walks.

“Probably the worst Sykes cottage we have stayed at!”

! arrived on the Saturday as planned only to be told they weren't expecting us until Monday. hence the cottage had not been properly prepared, i.e. it had not been aired and was damp and as the keyholder said they normally heat the cottage through no heating had been arranged

- Malcolm, March 2023

I am very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay! I have confirmed with our cleaner that the cottage was ready for your check in. Please give Sykes a call if you would like to discuss this further. Property Owner
Yvonne January 2023

“Beautiful place with gorgeous original features.”

Nice and quiet with fab views and lovely area to walk. Betty is lovely and helpful. Great onsite amenities. Loads of space. But the cold of the house is unreal. It is never adequately heated. Oil is charged extra to the person staying there. Nobody pays it and so the walls are ice cold there, doors stick, hard to feel warmth there. I lit fire and burnt coal and blocks but you would find it hard to feel the heat from it. Water came out of walls. Smoky smell in the living room. Oil heating and electricity should not be charged extra. It's not cheap to stay here.

- Yvonne, January 2023

Thank you for your feedback, it is clearly stated that oil and electricity is charged for as per a meter reading.If you had brought to our attention the problem with the condensation we would have happily got this sorted for you. Property Owner

Patrick February 2020

“The additional costs added for electricity and heating are excessive and came as a shock at the end of our week.”

warnings should be made to future renters.

Sharon June 2019

“We had a great holiday at Steepes Place.”

Its the kind of authentic old cottage we love but beautifully clean and with everything you would need. Betty & her husband were amazing hosts & even brought down a mattress, from their own home, to put on the sofa bed so that my dad could sleep downstairs ! The bedrooms upstairs were lovely & the beds were so comfortable. It is in a great location for visiting lots of attractions but so peaceful if you just want some quiet time. Would definitely go back in the future. Betty keep up the good work as you are doing a great job.

- Sharon, June 2019
Trevor August 2018

“Kept clean and overall a comfortable stay.”

The one issue is with the bathroom - It's about as far from the bedroom as you can get, not ideal for those nighttime trips! The shower is a disappointing trickle. Kitchen facilities are good with everything you need and in good condition.

- Trevor, August 2018
Philip August 2017

- Michael, May 2016
Michael August 2015

“The house is a traditional cottage with low ceilings and thick walls.”

A very well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom have been added to the ground floor. There are some nice views and woodland walks while the road network gives ready access to other locations. The village is nicely placed to access various attractions

- Michael, August 2015

“A fantastic place to stay in beautiful surroundings.”

It was in a really peaceful and traditional Irish village and everyone was friendly and helpful. The cottage had a lovely atmosphere and it made us all feel like we were staying with relatives. We will definitely be wanting to come back. A great place to go if you want some peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of life.

- Michael Vincent, July 2010
Johannah April 2010

“The area is surrounded by wood trails and mountains; fantastic walks.”

Whole area - Glenosheen/Kilmallock/Kilfinane steeped in history. The caretaker - absolutely lovely lady, could not have been more helpful. Nothing too much - charming and courteous! Garden = disused farm yard but very good
