The property was exactly as described, beautiful and spacious and the beds were very comfortable! It was a lovely peaceful area and very close to town. The food recommendations from Joe & Carmel were spot on! They are a fantastic couple and had lots of recommendations for sites to see as well. We will definitely be back!!!

Charming home with everything you need to relax after day trips in the area. Centrally located so we were able to go a lot of places within 2 hours or just in the Banagher/Birr area. Shopping and restaurants were within 15 minutes. Joe and Carmel were very welcoming and provided resources for the area in addition to this fine home. Weather allowed us to enjoy the back patio area . Would come back in a minute!

Perfect home from home

Super, friendly host Joe met us and gave us an insight into the local area and lots of information. There was just the two of us but the property could easily accommodate seven people. All the facilities that we required, a true home from home. Perfect location for our days out both locally and as far as Waterford, Dublin, Galway and Westport. Thanks again Joe.

Fantastic first visit to Ireland

The accommodation was fantastic (we were even surprised with cake for coffee). The cottage also left nothing to be desired. The surroundings are super. A great chance find for us was the castle and the associated garden in Birr (about 10 minutes drive) also recommendable are the pubs in Banagher. We would unreservedly recommend the accommodation to our friends.

Dream come true.

Ireland and this house exceeded our expectations. Four women ages 50-70. Everyone left completely satisfied. Host was helpful and kind. It’s in a remote area but we knew that before we went. A 2 minute drive into the town of Banagher and a 40 minute walk.

Family Christmas

From start to finish we were made to feel most welcome. Even on our morning walks the local drivers all waved and said good morning. We are from the UK and the US. This charming house provided us with a perfect base to explore the area and also hunker down and enjoy our family time. Joe and Carmen are the kindest hosts. There were delicious treats in the kitchen to make our arrival Even sweeter. We will definitely be back at some point during the warmer months! Lots of quaint villages and bigger towns nearby, can’t wait to come back and explore even more! Thank you!

Glebe House, Banagher

We have stayed at Glebe House on a number of occassions both for family holidays and as part of a group taking part in the Banagher Fishing Festivals .We have always found the house to be spotless and extremely comfortable. The owners Mary and Michael always give a warm welcome and are on hand if required. We would have no hesitation recommending this property and speak of it regularly with great fondness. There are many good Pubs in the town and especially enjoy our time in Flynn's Bar & Lounge where Eugene and his staff are extremely friendly. lots to see and do in the area .

Great facilities for a family close to Banagher

We received a warm welcome from Joe, who explained all the features of the property .The property is great for anyone looking for a disabled friendly property with a wet room and everything at ground level. No waiting for the bathroom as you have a choice of three. The washing machine and dryer was an asset on wet days. Banagher is located about a mile away in the car ,a superb supermarket and a couple of decent pubs. Joe was available for any enquiries we had. I will definately be back on the stenth of my recent visit.Cheers.

A great Irish holiday

I was lucky enough to tag along and with Three friends (all family) on an Irish holiday at the beginning of May for 5 days. I arranged the housing and was lucky enough to find this house and was even luckier to speak with Mary over the phone. Michael and Mary had the house very clean and even a fire started for us on our arrival, wihch made for some serious napping after a full day of traveling from the states. We used this house as a central location (being 1.5 hours from Dublin) to get out and see the major attractions. We were 1.5 from the Cliffs and Cork and Cobh. Each day we looked very forward to getting back to this house after a full day of site seeing. I recommend this house to anyone with transportation and willing to be able to relaxe in this small town at night. A great time had by all.

Super house for our family of 4

Joe and family were the perfect hosts for our trip to County Offaly. Before arriving Joe provided helpful information on things to see and do in the area. On arrival Joe was there to meet us with a warm welcome and he had left us some sweet treats and set up games in the garden for our sons 9 & 12. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. It had all the facilities that you would need. We felt right at home. The location of the house was perfect for us to use a base from which to explore the county and beyond. We were lucky to visit when there were parades and fairs on in both Banagh and Birr which were great fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this part of Ireland and would definitely recommend a stay in Joe's house. Thank you for a great holiday and for all those little extra touches that make this a memorable visit for us. Katherine, Sean, Jake & Lewis

Power of Ireland

A memorable stay at Hynes Self Catering. A perfectly located gem in the middle of Ireland. Ideal base for travelling both locally and around Ireland. We covered all parts of Ireland. Lots of lovely castles including Ashford Castle,and traditional Irish pubs to Kylemore Abbey to Powerscourt Waterfall. All trips achievable within a day. Local attractions visited were Leap Castle, River Shannon and Tullamore Dew. The towns of Banagher and Birr hosted many restaurants and bars. JJ Houghs in Banagher is a must to visit. We got some Guinness glasses to take away. A lovely souvenir from Banagher! The Dungeon bar in Kinnitty Castle Hotel is only 20Km away and offers a relaxed atmosphere and well worth a visit! The hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. Joe provided us with lots of tips for sightseeing and was very attentive and helpful.The house is well equipped and spacious for families and groups of all ages. We highly recommend this property and location.

La maison est très grande et très agréable, très bien équipée et propre. Joseph est un hôte incroyable, très réactif et très aimable, avec beaucoup de bons conseils pour visiter la région. Merci pour les attentions très appréciables à notre arrivée. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour, au calme, dans la campagne. Le village de Banagher à quelques km offre toutes les commodités. Ne pas manquer le pub JJ Hough, très typique, avec une magnifique ambiance et une super musique !

A well fitted-out property in a nice central location

We appreciated the space and the wet room for our wheelchair user. A few more kitchen utensils would have been welcome. We enjoyed relaxing at the property, and also visited local towns and even spent a day on the beach near Galway,

An excellent place to stay

A group of us parents traveled from Canada to see our kids who were touring with our local Marching Band in Ireland. The house was an excellent central location for us. It was also the best place we could have chosen to stay. The owners were so warm and welcoming. We recommend renting from Mary in a hearbeat. There was so much to see and do in the area. We had an excellent stay.
