    The break in Forest log cabin was very pleasant for us all despite the lack of internet access

    I appreciate we were in a forest & as one of our party needed internet access it was quiet stressful for them , we had to travel some distance regularly to facilitate their needs.

    The directions & access to the lodge were very clear , the property was lovely and cosy & we enjoyed our time there,

    Would have liked to sit outside longer in the evenings, but it was so shaded it made it too cold.

    Perfect for a screen free family getaway. Our boys (5) and (3) had the best time exploring the nature outside collecting pine cones. Cabin was really comfortable and clean.We Bbq'd both nights as the weather was so nice. Fully stocked kitchen equipment, so we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend it. We can't wait to come back!

    It was cold when we arrived and the heating took a few hours to warm the place. But it was February when we visited so it can be expected. Tips. The water isn't drinkable, so do bring your own. The heaters use a lot of electricity, so keep an eye on the electricity meter. The host did provide a top-up code, which was much appreciated, and we had no problems. Limited Internet may bother other visitors, but we went there to get away, so it wasn't an issue.

    Absolutely lovely cabin and maintained to a really high standard. The host was really helpful with any questions or queries. Really good spot if you want to get away. Close to Ballyconnell town, which has plenty of amenities, ranging from supermarkets, pubs, and food options. Also a taxi service if required.

    Was initially very cold, took a bit of time to heat up esp without the stove but we were staying in January

    The layout of the cabin, the tv nook upstairs and balcony. Kitchen was well stocked, novelty factor of staying in a forest. Also had lovely lunch in local coffee shop following day

    We were aware that the fire was broke before we got there, so it wasn't a surprise however we would have loved a fire. Hopefully it will be fixed for our next visit 🤞

    It was stunning. All the little finishing touches were beautiful. Myself my husband and 3 daughters (aged 10,7 and 6 months) had the most relaxing time here. Sitting on the porch was my highlight. I loved that there was no WiFi so kids played outside or played board games. Will be booking again.

    We were slightly worried as we were told the night before we went that we would have to top up the electricity meter in the cabin. We had presumed electricity was included...We were bringing two small children so we were worried as we didn't know when the electricity would run out. We bought some credit just in case. The owner had topped it up before we arrived and it lasted until the early morning after the second night and we had to top it up then. Just something i think is worth knowing before you go.

    Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location! Very comfortable and very clean. Was very well equipped. The cabin was really spacious and it was decorated so nice. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it anyone.
