Paradise

The location is just beautiful, directly by the sea and you only hear the birds and the cows. We loved every minute of our stay. It's close to a lot of beautiful little town and a lot to do and see in the area. Just paradise.

A small corner of paradise

We chose mulroe house to visit the peninsulas of southern Ireland, which we did. The place is quiet and heavenly, the sea touches the walls of the garden at high tide, a kayak is available to enjoy the bay and our charming hostess gave us a very warm welcome Very want to come back!

Stunning Vista and Property

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Mulroe Cove. The house itself was very tastefully decorated and had plenty of character. The host was lovely and easy to deal with. The main star however was the location and scenic view from the private beach. Coming from London, my children were extremely excited by this and very keen to play in and out of the water as much as possible. I very much hope to be able to go back again soon.

An Idyllic Stay

We (2 adults; 2 children) had a wonderful week's stay in Mulroe House. The setting is incredible - beautiful gardens with tables and chairs dotted around for a relaxing read, coffee or al fresco dining and a private pebble beach perfect for exploring and a paddle. The house itself is spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of privacy from the other buildings. Stephanie was a very accomodating host and Buster the friendly pug a real hit with the children. Thank you! We hope to return some time.

It was a pity that the garden was so messy and neglected. Even the beech was littered with old fallen pine branches, an old wheel and a tyre. Too much debris lying around the garden.

Lovely location- but poor accommodation

Dirty and smelt fusty. Lots of cobwebs, had to wash crockery, cutlery and pans before we used them. Lack of basic cooking utensils, including sharp knives and a sieve. Cold had to ask for the heating to be put on. Even then we had to light a fire to keep warm, had to buy fuel and matches to do so.. Not enough glasses, toilet cistern not working properly. Couldn’t get the TV to work. No hairdryer in the property either. Felt a very unloved property.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jul, 2022
I am not quite sure where this is coming from. Certainly it feels incredibly unfair. We have a very professional cleaning team and I myself check the houses after they have been cleaned. One of our last guests' comment upon being shown through the house was how immaculate it is. In terms of unloved property: the whole house has just been repainted / decorated: walls, ceiling, woodwork.... We have been hosts with VRBO for many years and take pride in our rental business. There is no joy in unhappy customers. We live on the same property and always tell guests to let us know if there is any problem, because things can go wrong. The missing glasses were, unbeknownst to us, in the house next door as we had a wedding party who rented the 3 properties, but were promptly returned. However, we weren't told about any of the other complaints. How come?? We are always happy to help and are really close by. Heating oil is not included in the price and is based on a meter reading as is stated on our listing. What is more, the guest was aware of this, but left without paying the heating bill. I messaged them afterwards, but never got a reply. Unfortnately the guests were really unlucky with the weather. They arrived on a Thursday afternoon in glorious sunshine and when I showed them through the property the first thing they asked me was if I could change the weather that had been forecast. It rained solidly for the guests' entire stay and without let up. That is always very disappointing and I wonder did this upset the guests. I am sure it didn't make for the holiday that they hoped they would have. However, a review like this is very disheartening, particularly as we care and love this property which is also our home and is a very special place that we try to never take for granted no matter how long with have lived here. You can't please everybody, but it would be nice if reviews were fair, factual and ultimately truthful. It is nice to know that in the next few weeks we will be hosting guests that have stayed with us every summer for the last 8 years and have been VRBO customers originally.

Schönes Cottage in malerischer Lage

Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche im Mulroe House und seiner Umgebung verbracht. Die Gastgeberin zeigte sich herzlich zugewandt und in praktischen Dingen sehr hilfsbereit. Anders als die anderen beiden Mietobjekte im Gebäudekomplex hat das Mulroe House keinen Blick zum Wasser hin, das hätte uns anhand der Fotos klar sein müssen, war es leider nicht. Dennoch haben wir uns in dem Haus mit seinen gemütlichen Ecken sehr wohlgefühlt.

Ein ganz besonderer Ort

Wir waren zu viert und haben den Aufenthalt im Mulroe House sehr genossen. Es ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der offene Kamin ist abends ein schöner Ausgleich dafür, dass man vom Häuschen aus keine Aussicht hat. Der Garten ist riesig. Das Grundstück ist sehr idyllisch und ruhig. Man kann direkt am Strand spazieren gehen und wir durften auch das Kanu nutzen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Stephanie ist eine sehr freundliche und hilfreiche Gastgeberin.

The Perfect Spot

Stunning location, with an amazing view over the bay that changes throughout the day. We were thrilled to have our own private beach & beautiful grounds to explore, exercise and entertain in. Stephanie, our host was super helpful and amazing at pointing us in the direction of all great things to do right on your doorstep. We very much enjoyed having Buster the Pug as our holiday dog,. A beautiful, relaxing spot for individuals, families & group get togethers, next time we'll look to book out all the houses so our friends can join us in enjoying what this very special place has to offer.

Watching the water and dolphins

This is a truly enchanting property in a magical location. The hostess is very friendy and helpful. The period property is set in the grounds of an old county house but even better is located in a walled garden that leads directly ion to the ocean inlet. Having breakfast overlooking the sea and the countryside on the opposite side of the inlet is as good a start to the any day as you can get. It is so good a start that it could take up the whole day especially if amongst the regular wildlife a pair of dolphins swim up the inlet and then out. The nearby attractions are also very good, with the Irish music good food and Guinness that is a feature of Cork. Pure magic.
