Bockagh Farm

The pod was cosy and bright. There were nice scones and a bottle of Proseco in the fridge.

It is too remote: It is on a byroad, off a byroad. L roads or boreens all of them. As it was raining a lot, the place was cold and damp. The only heating for the living room/dining area and the bathroom was a single plug-in radiator. It was very inadequate to the task. The bathroom had no heating at all so was very cold and damp on rainy days. There were no extra blankets or duvets. As our feet were freezing, my husband and I had to put our socks on and we had to throw the large towels over us in the bed. I had a real problem falling asleep and my teeth were chattering from the cold at one point. Not wishing to go through that experience again, I called the owner on the evening of the second night. He was very unsympathetic and stated that he had stayed there in the winter and had had no problems with the heating. In other words, we were wrong and could not possibly have been cold! He said that he couldn’t give us a duvet as he didn’t live nearby. Since the little cakes had supposedly been fresh, there must be someone nearby who could have supplied a duvet. It wasn’t that clean. There was fluff under the bed, the sink plugs in both the kitchen and bathroom were stained and the throw on the couch was stained. There were no oven gloves so it was hard to remove something hot from the microwave. There were no side plates so we had to serve breakfast etc on dinner plates. No bath mats or similar in towel form—so inconvenient. There was only one hook (and that was in the bathroom) on which one could hang one’s clothes/wet coats etc.

The location was superb with stunning views from both the pod and the hot tub. The animals were a highlight and facilties were outstanding for the location.

No real complaints

Everything a beautiful place to stay, a lovely little peace of heaven

Nothing everything was fantastic

Great communication with the owners, we were running early for check in and they allowed us check in that little bit early. I also ordered the birthday package and it was set up lovely. The baked treats and prosecco are a great touch. The hot tub was amazing and we had such a relaxing weekend .
