Perfect House for Family Trip.

From the very beginning this was a wonderful stay! The house had everything we needed for a family get away. You cannot pick a more beautiful location as a home base while traveling around. Our son loved the game room and outside adventures. We can’t thank our hosts enough, especially for the little gifts for our boys, and would come back and stay in an instant.

Traditional Irish countryside with ease of access to great day trips (we went to Dingle, Killarney, Cork, the Cliffs of Moher, Limerick/Bunratty Castle, and one overnight in Galway, just to name a few stops). Close to our family as well. A wonderful stay with truly wonderful hosts. We can't wait to come back!!!! Thank you so much!

Peace Profound

Glenview Lodge is a lovely property -and what a setting! Surrounded by trees and nothing but green fields beyond, the sense of tranquility was wonderful. Great for families with small children and adults (like us)escaping the city noise. The Lodge also offers good access to local attractions and some of the 'Big Sights' like Killarney and Dingle are all within reach for a grand day out. Our hosts were always contactable but there were absolutely no issues on out trip. Thank you Sean and Monica.

It was so very peaceful and was a welcoming place after a long day of sightseeing. We had a fire every night and ate wonderful meals in the large, modern kitchen. We each had our own bathroom as well as one downstairs. We used the washer and dryer. Appreciated the coffee maker as well as the electric tea kettle and French press.

Lovely property and hosts

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Glenview Lodge very much. The house was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. It is in a calm and quiet area, with an amazing view. Just what we needed to come back to after each busy day exploring this beautiful area. During our stay we visited Cork, Kinsale and Killarney National Park. There are a few shops in Broadford and even a take away open late, which we took advantage of on one of the days we returned quite late. The hosts Monica and Sean were so nice and made us feel very welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we will definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to find ourselves in the area in the future.

Beautiful, calm, quiet spot.

Glenview is a very comfortable, spotlessly clean house, with wonderful original furnishings and features. Monica and Seàn are the most delightful hosts, with a wealth of information about the area. The house had everything one could need and it felt like staying in a real home. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and were able to sit outside with the chairs and table provided. It is a good location for visiting the West and South West coasts for day trips and the local walks are lovely. The Neenans have provided a wealth of useful tourist information. All in all a delightful experience and highly recommended.

Great place to stay

Great place in country but easily accessible to sites in area. The house was quaint but fully renovated and equipped with everything you could need and very comfortable for our party of 4 adults. The setting was stunning with wonderful views over the rolling hills. And one of the highlights was meeting Sean and Monica, our hosts. When we arrived we were having car trouble and Sean was able to get a mechanic there right away and have our car fixed and ready to go without loosing out on our time in Ireland. And when we arrived we had a wonderful loaf of fresh baked bread waiting for us from Monica. They gave us great tips about things to do and places to see and were very helpful. I would highly recommend Glenview Lodge.

Serene countryside, and great accommodations.

We could not have wished for better on our first trip to Ireland, and were so pleased with the accommodations. Sean and Monica were delightful hosts and have thought of everything to help you settle in. They even provided literature of the surrounding areas that might be of interest, and a list of restaurants that were close by. We ate at the Mallard Restaurant in New Castle West twice; it was very nice and we highly recommend it. We traveled to many suggested areas and it was nice to come back in the evening to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. To sit outside until after 10pm and have it still be light was an absolute joy. Thank Sean and Monica for helping to make this trip memorable!

Best Part of our stay in Ireland!

It was so wonderful staying at Glenview Lodge. It was REAL IRELAND. The nearby local town, Foley's Pub and discussions with Sean, food from Monica and staying in her childhood farm house all set in the most beautiful country side I've ever seen was the most authentic part of our journey through Ireland ( 10 days we spent 5 at Glenview). It was a little off the beaten path but well worth it! The house was clean, with modern amenities and filled with warmest energy. I highly recommend you take advantage of the extras that Sean and Monica provide. My husband and I and daughters age 18 and 20 y give it 10 stars!!!! Thank you.

Peaceful and Charming

We were so excited to stay here, and it was even better than the pictures or description. It was a wonderful home base, but we also spent a day there, and it was one of our favorite days of our entire trip. The home is warm and charming, filled with history and little touches, like freshly picked flowers from the property and books on all things Irish, plus a detailed folder with info on the use of the property, etc. The property was so lovely....picturesque really. We took numerous photos of the property and our family on the property. The photos came out as if they were professionally taken. It's easy to take good photos when the landscape is so beautiful. My daughter said she felt like she couldn't take it all in because of how awesome it was. Sean spent time talking with us and telling us the most interesting stories, including Irish history. We loved hearing him talk, not just for his wonderful accent, but the knowledge and passion with which he spoke, made his stories captivating. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again.

Glenview Lodge was LOVELY!

Everything about our stay here was picture perfect. Monica and Sean were delightful hosts! Monica had left freshly baked soda bread for us and butter curls, milk and yogurt in the fridge and brought us a freshly made apple tart one evening - a true delight after a long day. The cottage itself was ideal. Glenview is a great name as it has a picture perfect setting and even a sweet Fairy Path outside. The grounds are lovely and large with plenty of space for kids to run around and even some playground equipment. It is also a wonderful place for adults to set outside and enjoy the view and the air. The cottage itself has a great layout with an updated kitchen and all the dishes, glasses and cooking utensils you could need along with a coffee maker and a press. The upstairs has, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and there is a half bath downstairs. There is even a washer in the pantry area and a dryer in one of the outside buildings that also houses a ping pong table and foosball table! The property has a rich history but all the modern touches you could want. It had all the things that make Ireland such a special place - great setting and hospitality!

8/10 Good

lovely quiet escape

We stayed at Glenview Lodge for almost 2 weeks. We found the property to be perfect for a quiet getaway. It's up a secluded drive so we felt safe letting our kids run around the huge enclosed yard. They really enjoyed the swing set. The bedroom set up was comfortable for our family of five and the beds were comfy with nice bedding. The kitchen and living areas were good, though we missed having some basics available in the kitchen--salt/pepper, some olive oil. But we loved that Monica was kind enough to welcome us with a fresh baked loaf of bread. The living room has a nice fireplace to help warm up the downstairs when it's cold. Would have been nice to have a bigger rug in there to keep it a bit warmer--but there were blankets for us to cuddle up with at night. The place is about an hour's drive from many sights. Cork & Blarney Castle, an hour from Limerick and a bit over an hour to ring of kerry and wild atlantic way. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous and there are several local walks to do. We also loved the Saturday breakfast at Smithfield castle, just down the road. It sounds fancy but it was actually really accessible and great to take our kids to. We did most of our grocery shopping in New Castle west a slight larger town about 15 min drive. There's a wonderful health food store there called Sonas, plus some larger chain stores. And a great playground for the kids. It's definitely a more secluded area so if you want to be closer to a larger town, look elsewhere. We were okay doing 12 nites there, but we spent 2 of those nights closer to the ring of kerry and that felt about right for us. We also did Monica's homemade Irish stew which was fabulous. She baked more fresh bread for us to go with it along with a nice basket of scones for dessert. The only downside for me with that there is some mold growing in the master shower, probably nothing a bit of bleach or recaulking couldn't fix right up. Overall this was a lovely home in beautiful Ireland and we highly recommend it.
