Everything you need is provided, it is a home from home. Great if you have young children or pets. Idyllic location and a great pub nearby.
WiFi could be stronger in areas outside of main living room as there is no cellular reception.

we loved the quiet location and the views of the mountains. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The living area was large and well appointed - we enjoyed the selection of games and the TV.
We received regular updates from Maggie about where to find the keys and things we needed.
The kitchen equipment needs a refresh - no wooden spoons, not enough glasses or mugs.

Nice spacious lodge. All mod cons. Very close to beautiful nature trails.
Lodge cold and felt damp even though it was end of July. Awful smell of dog maybe it would be a good Idea to have some lodges pet free.

Nice concept; holiday park in the woods with various play areas and forest footpath.
Nice Layout of property with big living space and decent sized bedrooms.
Excellent mountain biking close-by
The property and holiday park did not feel well looked after.
There was mould on the ceiling, broken/ mossy playground equipment, greasy oven. Felt cold even in July due to dampness.
We saw fleas on the carpet probably from previous dog guest.
Kitchen lacked a few basics like a large chopping knife and colander.

Great location
One of the showers didn’t work properly would either not work at all or stop mid shower. Also gave 50 euro deposit for electric not received any change.

The playground equipt was mostly broken or covered in green slime moss stuff so that was disappointing.
We were there the St Brigids weekend and the chalets were very cold, even with the fire lit and the heating on full blast in the house for 4 hours,, the kids asked for 2 pairs of Pjs and to borrow the quilts from the other room that we weren’t using.
Kitchen had everything you’d need, really a very enjoyable stay. Will come back again but wound love to see the playgrounds cleaned and updated.

Have been in Log cabins a few times, and love them, but this time it was disappointing
The property was cold and there was a lot of mould on the blinds, And had a musky smell, the shower in the ensuite was Crap, and in both bathrooms, there was nowhere to hang your towel, they really need a makeover for the price that they charge . (But Maggie was a lovely lady and very helpful )

Lovely quiet rural setting with plenty of attractions within an hours drive. Lodge had everything we needed, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer etc etc
Nothing really, a little upgrading needed here and there but perfectly adequate.

Quiet, secluded, ideal for walking holidays in the countryside. Peaceful, plenty of wildlife.
Electricity tariff is quite high, we were aware that we paid for the usage at the end of the stay, be careful with your appliance usage!

It was so cold! The overnight storage heaters weren’t working. There was a log burner, and extra (costly) heating. Other than that we had a lovely week.

2nd time staying in lodges in 3 months. This time we stayed in No 13. It was a very well laid out 3 bedroom lodge with ensuite in each room. Nice patio outside for bbq and solid fuel fire inside to keep lodge warm. All mod cons on site. There was even some nice touches like a Christmas tree set up in lounge. Manager as usual very efficient with information and for check in / out.

All rooms have en-suite bathrooms.
Well equipped kitchen. We stayed here over Christmas due to building renovations in our own home. The owner had a fabulous Christmas tree in place in the living room on arrival. It was really relaxing and our kids loved cosying up to the stove in the evening time.
It is fantastic that the lodge allowed our dog to stay. Dog walkers paradise. We will be back!

Stayed in lodge 10. All was very clean and tidy on arrival. As it was November in a lodge it could be cold as you would expect . However the wooden stove and electric heaters meant you could have it as warm as you want. The wooden stove made it nice and cosy in the evening and was enough for us after a days mountain biking in the nearby Ballyhoura cycle trails. Nice to lookout in the evening and see the stars overhead even if weather was not always great. All mods cons required were included. Would definitely go back again. Our small dog even loved it. Lots of parking on site.
Teenage children didn’t like the poor cellular reception in area. There was wifi in parts of house which could have been stronger. This did however help with less phone time.

Beautiful location, amazing log fire, playground right outside the front door 2 others within the small complex of houses - one with a zip wire and the other outdoor climbing frame.
Only downside is having to pay extra for the electricity you used, the appliances are not the most efficient - ended up being 25 euro for 3 nights. Not much, but also not the nicest way to end a holiday.

The location was unreal.
The looped walks were amazing.
Maggie, the host, was lovely
Dogs welcome...and they loved it as much as we did.
Very clean
I've never slept so well!
The musty smell ☹️
Make sure you bring the following...scented candles, firelighters, Firewood, cleaning wipes, basic cooking items such as oil, salt pepper, extra teabags, coffee, sugar, etc. toiletries and food! No takeaways in the immediate area bar a chipper 5km away. Local Centra and Supervalu 11kms away but I'd recommend bringing food.
Ask how to work emersion and storage heaters on day one.
Unfortunately if you get a disabled bathroom you will need to use towels to dry floor.
Would still recommend staying here and will undoubtedly be back!

Ballyhoura Mountain Lodges is a lovely place in a beautiful rural area.
On our arrival we were very well received in a friendly manner by the host. And she was available and helpful whenever we needed something.
The cottage is equipped with whatever you may need for a long stay. Washing machine, dishwasher, a fully equipped kitchen - you name it, it's all there. The combined living room and kitchen is spacious with comfy furniture, so we felt very much at home.
The place is situated in a quiet and peaceful rural area with plenty of possibilities for hiking and activities in the nature.
The pictures give a good impression of the cottage and surroundings, but in reality it's even more cosy.
The beds were very nice and comfy so we slept well all week.
The cottage was clean on arrival, but its in need of some TLC as there are some wear and tear (we had to mend a couple of nails sticking up from the floorboard)

The log cabins were fantastic. They had everything you needed for your stay and were spotless clean. The locationand scenery around you was spectacular. We are certainly going to book again for next year.
