Darrell Porter's house is fantastic! Wonderful views within a peaceful, quiet country-side. We scheduled a large family reunion during our stay; eleven residents staying at the house and a total of twenty-eight visitors coming and going during the weekend. The house accommodated them all with ease. Of special note was the large supply of kitchen utensil: plenty of cutlery, pots and pans, cups and saucers, a wonderful stove, and every imaginable item required to feed a large crowd. And then there is Darrell, a wonderful, welcoming host who made our whole endeavor worthwhile..Without hesitation I recommend Darrell's Tinnakilly Lodge to any vacationer looking for spacious accommodation in a beautiful, quiet location.

Hi Steven,
Thank you and please thank all your guests for leaving the house in excellent condition. I hope you all had a pleasant journey home....Kind regards, Darrell
The host is all you could want: Darrell is amiable, attentive, and highly responsive to his guests and their needs.
The nearby village of Aughrim as a great takeout on the main drag.
Everything was perfect. The house comfortably fit up to 18 of us ranging from 3 yo’s to grandparents. Plenty of space and great outdoor area for kids. Darrell is a great host and took care of everything. Can’t recommend enough.
Everything about the property exceeded our expectations. Darrell is by far the best host we have met in our many vacation rentals. Darrell made sure that we had everything we needed and was a wealth of information about things in the area as well as other parts of Ireland. I can without reservation recommend this property for anyone looking for a worry free experience. Thanks Darrell!
We had a 3 night stay for an 80th birthday celebration. This is a great venue for large gatherings as plenty of room on the ground floor to accommodate a large crowd of people and not feel squashed in. We fed a large group no problem. All bedrooms had an en suite, was a bit strange on the ground floor to go through a bedroom to use the washroom though. The place was clean and tidy and you could relax in it. Would recommend to others. Thanks for a great stay
The property and facilities were stunning! This is a great place for a family get together. If you are traveling from the US - a word of warning; toilet paper is not resupplied, there is no blow dryer and if you want a hot shower you need to let Darrell know your schedule so he can adjust the timer. Also, there is a clothes washer but no dryer and towels are not resupplied, so if you take daily showers and want fresh towels you need to try to dry them on a rack in the kitchen. It works but slowly. Being from the states we have different expectations and to know these issues in advance would have prevented misunderstandings. Darrell was so kind to explain the process and everything worked out fine. We enjoyed our family vacation and have great memories of Ireland’s beautiful countryside.
Fantastic Accommodations, great property and town!
Our visit was fantastic! It was a total of 17 of us (5 friends stayed in another rental in Aughrim), ages ranging from 16-81. Everyone had a comfortable bed, a place at the dinner table and a place to relax.
Staying in a more rural area of Ireland was perfect for a big group of friends and family from Nebraska/Missouri, USA. We were right at home.
Darrell made sure that we had all the accommodations needed, our check in and check out was seamless and his communication was prompt and helpful.
For any US guests, here's a little run-down:
There are seven bedrooms, each with a bathroom
Main floor:
1. One Double, one futon, accessible bathroom with shower
Second Floor (up the first flight of stairs):
2. Large bedroom (actually two rooms, one with a queen, the other a twin that share a bathroom with shower
3. Two twins, bathroom with shower
4. One double, one twin, bathroom with shower
5. One double, one twin (lower to the ground, called a tressel in Ireland), bathroom with a tub, and shower attachment
Third Floor (up the next flight of stairs, these rooms and the landing outside of them have "in-roof" windows that are fantastic.
6. One double, one twin (tressel), bathroom with shower.
7. One double, bathroom with a shower.
The entry way is spacious for leaving shoes, coats, backpacks. The kitchen is well stocked and equipped. Dishwasher, washer (racks for hang-drying).
It was all fantastic - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Tinnakilly House is a lovely property, cosy and roomy at the same time, in which a small group of friends and family stayed for the weekend. Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable, and location is great for country explorations within an hour from Dublin. Thanks, Darrell!
6 friends for a long weekend. Darrell was a great host. Home is beautiful; we hung out in the kitchen around the table most of the time! Fully stocked for making great meals together. A great get-away (couldn’t count on WiFi but that didn’t dampen our stay at all!)
Huge house with 7 ensuite bedrooms over 3 floors which was loved by all. Car a necessity but close to all amenities. Great spacious garden with play frame and swings for the kids. Gas BBQ was well utilised, as was the outdoor seating area. Everything was supplied, there was nothing missing from this house.
This was a great location for us and great access to beaches, walks,etc.
The house itself was perfect for our group size and plenty of outdoor space for the kids.
Darrell was a great host and made it very easy for us in terms of check in and communication was fantastic. Def recommend for large family group.
pros: beautiful views from the front. Perfect location. Lovely setting. Each bedroom having an en-suite is a great plus. Kitchen was well appointed. Very comfortable home.
cons: the owner was there to greet us and show us how to use the stove, but he didn't advise that the hot water and heat were on a timer, nor did we know when the timer was set for, resulting in cold showers for almost our entire party. He did not respond to VRBO messages, text, or voicemail to his cell phone. Since the weather was windy and rainy a good portion of our stay, this became a major detractor to our stay.
Unsere Gruppe bestand aus 11 Leuten. Vom Kleinkind bis Erwachsener war alles vertreten.
Das Haus war super ausgestattet. Jedes Zimmer hatte ein eigenes Bad. Mit Warmwasser gab es überhaupt keine Probleme, was wir schon öfters in anderen Unterkünften hatten.
Der Außenbereich war sehr weitläufig. Es gab einen Spielbereich für die Kinder. Ein Sandkasten, in dem allerdings nicht mehr so viel Sand ist, Zwei Schaukeln und ein kleines Klettergerüst mit Rutsche. Viel Platz zum Fußballspielen gab es auch.
Darrell, der Gastgeber, kam öfters mal vorbei um nach den Rechten zu schauen und zu fragen ob noch etwas gebraucht wird. Er war ein äußerst netter Mensch und hat unseren Aufenhalt perfekt gemacht.
Vielen Dank!
We had a great week at this property which was perfect for our group in size and with en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom and spacious living area. The property is well located to numerous quality golf course.
Darrell was extremely helpful before and during our stay.
Perfect house for Celebrating with family or friends!
We fell in love with Darrell's house, with the large well equipped kitchen, cosy sittingroom and wonderful atmostpheric diningroom. A perfect setting for our Gatsby Murder mystery weekend! In the evenings we enjoyed having cocktails outside surrounded by the beautiful scenery, and in the day enjoyed sitting out having lunch and having use of the BBq. Bedrooms were large and all ensuite and everywhere was spotless, Wifi was available but limited. Darrell was a fantastic host and couldnt have been more helpful looking after our every need. We look forward to returning.
We had a very pleasant stay at Tinnakilly lodge. The house is spacious, warm and cosy with beautiful views. Darrell was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family! Thank you so much!
