Dowra Vacation Rentals

"We loved everything about this Castle Resort! We felt like Royalty staying in this historic castle…. The grounds were immaculately maintained, as were the guest rooms and all interior areas. Dinner was fantastic as was breakfast. We would not hesitate to recommend staying here!"

"Nice stay and great food. Staff very helpful and breakfast was good."

"Did not have breakfast. But very appropriate to my needs."

"Due to a health issue I did not stay long at Hillcrest to give a full review. The location was beautiful and the hosts were wonderful and very accommodating."

"Très bien équipé et très bien agencé. Confortable et spacieux, le calme de la campagne pour se reposer et passer d'excellentes vacances. A recommander."

"Lovely twin room with good shower in ensuite. Excellent kitchen/common room area with lots of cooking options - oven, microwave etc. Sofas for groups to relax. Parking would normally be good but on the Saturday night, the local GAA team were playing and the car park and surrounding streets were rammed. Only disappointment was the check in as no-one from the property was there. We had to phone up the international ( for us) number causing extra expense. It might help future visitors if the property sent out check in instructions by text, email etc on the day of arrival"

"This cottage is a rare find for those seeking peace and tranquility. The only man-made sounds you hear are from a distant occasional train or slow moving pleasure craft on the river. There is no passing traffic as the property is near the end of a long, private lane. Silent, however, it is not. The cacophony of birdsong is extraordinary, especially mornings and evenings. Those with a more experienced ear than me will detect dozens of birds. The outdoor space is fantastic for relaxing or barbecuing and if you have a furry friend they have well over an acre of secure ground to roam in. Inside, a small, well equipped kitchen awaits and you'll find a generous dining room and table. The two bedrooms are generous with very comfortable beds and pillows and separated from each other for extra privacy. The lounge/sun room is lovely with a large L-shaped sofa to accommodate four adults. Internet and WiFi were perfectly adequate for our purposes (2 phones and a laptop). Our host was very gracious, even remembering to bring us an anniversary card as I'd mentioned we were celebrating in my initial message. Only thing to note is to make sure you follow the directions to the property accurately as our satnav didn't recognise the private lane as a road. It truly is as remote as you could wish for yet only 10 minutes from Carrick on Shannon."

"First time staying in The Landmark Hotel as I was in the vicinity for a conference! Although, the Kellys always prided themselves on exceptional standards, and given my Mother was a former member of staff in its heyday, I was given a room that shouldn’t have been used for guests! The bathroom had major issues with tiles about to come off the wall, the sink area not thoroughly cleaned to a high level of standards and the furniture was outdated and the curtains had bad stains on them! The best part of my stay was the exceptional staff at breakfast and again in The Boardwalk and reception! Left feeling disappointed by the stay."

"Rosdarrig House is a beautifully maintained residence. The room was large and very comfortable. Breakfast was perfect. Our hostess and her helper were very accommodating. The only drawback was the evenings were very chilly so I couldn't sit outside in the garden to watch the sunsets. That's no fault of our hostess."
