Hi Michael
Many thanks for your great review of Castlemartyr Holiday Lodge No. 2, Co. Cork.
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your business and comments, which will be shared with Anna.
We take your point and will do some research on the history of the site, which we understand was a convent in latter years but had been built in 1210 by the Knights Templar- Strongbow.
We do hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.

Beautiful spot to explore Cork
Castlemartyr is a beautiful resort with a couple of lovely walks in the woods as well as a championship golf course. The Holiday Lodges are an ideal way to explore the area. They are roomy with beautiful space outside surrounded by the walls of the old walled garden. Your dogs will love it also. Anna was a great host. thanks.

The house is very spacious and bright due to big windows. And it is in a very quiet surrounding. We hardly heard anything from the neighbouring houses. The house manager was also very friendly and helpful for all our questions.

Beautiful lodge complex in the green surroundings of Cork
The support from Anna, the lodge manager, was fantastic.
The countryside location is easily accessible by car.
The house is flooded with light, has lots of room, a great porch with green surrounding and is tranquil and peaceful.
The kitchen is equipped with only the essentials. The pans are too small for four people. Large bowls are missing. Frying pan was very dirty.
The windows should be checked, as they don't seal properly. Some of the window locks are almost impossible to close one window at the back of the house couldn't be locked at all (security).

Nice place needing a bit of tlc
Pet friendly with nice open plan living space, spacious bedrooms and good WiFi. Most mod cons provided. Situated in nice area and close to towns line Midleton and Youghal where there is a nice beach.
House needs a bit of tlc, ground floor toilet leaking, unstable curtain pole in bedroom and lack of blind or curtain on one window which would affect light sleepers. Coffee pods were provided, but no coffee machine to use them. Places needed a good dusting, especially bedrooms, alot of cobwebs and spiders visible, outside could be powerwashed or cleaned down to improve general appearance and first impression too.

Great location , quiet and very dog friendly.
However we felt the furnishings were quite Spartan and not homely . There was a shortage of cutlery and crockery - supplying only 4 knives and forks for instance is not adequate for 4 adults self catering . There were no mattress covers on the beds and the mattresses were stained .
There was evidence with stains on the ceiling of on going problems with leakage from the shower .
Overall we were disappointed with the quality of the property which was a shame as with more care and adequate maintenance this could be a 5 star holiday let .

Horrible experience
The property was fine, but communication with the owner was a nightmare. I repeatedly asked for directions, and was repeatedly denied. The owner refused to give any info other than to contact the manager, and the manager's phone had horrible reception. They relied exclusively in the EIRCode and using Google maps to find the location, but cell reception did not work in the area and our phone rebooted and we lost directions. We literally drove around for over an hour looking for the home, calling the agent over and over with no connection with her, and just lucked into finding the space. This after an overnight flight from the US and driving hours from Dublin. All this would have been avoided if they had just provided directions, which they adamantly refused to do.
Property was what was expected. We had two problems 1 was the showers need adjusting to work with out burning us. They also forgot to clean the master bathroom.
