Retirement, St Patrick’s Day, 65th Birthday
This home was perfect and had everything and more than we needed. I have been using VRBO for years for trips statewide, Ireland and Italy. I can easily say Connie and Mike have been the most welcoming and accommodating we have encountered. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

FANTASTIC. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
It was a lovely property - one of the coziest and cleanest that we had been to. Connie was a super host in every way. The location was exactly what we needed for a quiet family holiday. We are avid travellers and not many properties / hosts impress us the way this did. Highly recommend.

The Place Was Amazing
Connie was very helpful and friendly. She made sure that we had everything we needed and wasn't shy about asking if there was anything else she could do. Their place is truly a hidden gem and I would encourage anyone looking for a place to stay to choose there!

The ideal rural getaway
Beautiful property out in in Tipperary county. We flew out to Dublin for a week for work, then wanted to spend our second week in Ireland somewhere more quiet. We rented a car from Dublin Airport and drove(about 2 hours 10 min or so). Property was absolutely amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. It was larger than I was expecting; Connie, the host, was extremely accommodating and communicative via whatsapp throughout our stay, which was great as we were international travelers without a phone plan, so we could use the wifi. Would definitely recommend renting a car to get around. It was somewhere around an hour 15min to get to Galway, which is a great place to spend some time, or grab a tour and see the Cliffs of Moher. The property is the perfect place to relax, and seems like it would be great for a larger group as well. Would love to stay again next time I'm in Ireland!

Just What We Wanted
Connie and Mike are phenomenal hosts. Such a relaxing site and easy access to pretty much all of Ireland in a day trip. Getting away from the busyness of the large cities was our goal and Ballinderry more than met our needs. The house gave everyone their own private space and all the comforts of home too!

Thank you for your frank review. I am sorry that the location of the house was too remote for you, we will make ithat clearer in the property description and the offer of bringing you to the village was always there. We also appreciate your suggestion about the contents of the welcome basket. We have visitors from all over the world with varying tastes and dietery requirements and most guests stop on the way to shop for food items that suit their own tastes. That is why we decided on different items for the basket

A perfect week in an Irish oasis
A truly spectacular stay. Connie and Mike are helpful, kind, and all around wonderful people. Our bags were lost at the airport and they arranged to have them dropped off at their house because we didn't have working phone numbers and they hand delivered them to us! The place is beautiful. The view of the lake is stunning and it feels like it changes every day. The restaurant and pub that are right in town couldn't be more delightful and it's an ideal location to take day trips almost anywhere in Ireland! I cannot recommend this place enough. My sister and I can't wait to come back and stay again!

Relaxing family week on Lough Derg
Upon arrival at shannonview, we were immediately blown away by the breathtaking view of Lough Derg from the house. Connie was there to greet us and immediately we felt welcomed as she showed us around the house and told us how everything worked. Kilgarvan Quay, a 10 min walk where Lough Derg Watersports kayaking is a must, also great for a mooch about the marina and a dip in the lake. De Roistes bbq in Ballinderry for beers and a good feed in a fab setting. A trip to Birr and Portumna castle well worth the short trips. Its a really lovely part of the country for a relaxing break away. Connie and Mike are terrific hosts who will ensure you feel at home. Thanks for a brilliant week at Shannonview

Absolutely Amazing!
Thank You, Connie and John, for sharing your lovely Galway Bay view home! We had a magnificent time! Connie's hostess skills and quick responses were perfect! We stayed 3 days, and we will definitely be back in the springtime &/or summertime. Connie took the time to show us how to use all appliances and technology items in the house. The information/history binder was helpful too. Definitely one of the best places we have stayed at with Home Away & VRBO! Connie has won awards, we know why. Thanks again for your hospitality and professionalism, Connie and John!

Lovely home, gorgeous view, plenty of room and most comfortable!
Connie is a marvelous host! She’s kind, funny and very thoughtful. Our stay was made so much better due to her genuine care for our 7 and general welfare. The bungalow lists for six and when we told her we would have 7, she provided a comfortable cot! Her responses to all of our questions were timely and always included a helpful hint or two. We took her up on just about every suggestion (too little time to do them all!) and everything she suggested we took up proved to enhance our trip in ways we had not thought possible! I would suggest her to everyone! She and her husband Mike were very easy to contact and responded very quickly. Anyone who stays with them should take the short walk down to Loch Derg and partake in a session with Loch Derg Watersports and the kayaking experience provided by the owner Becky. Our 7 spent 2 hours on Loch Derg with her and one of her wonderfully fun employees, Jacob. That was one of Connie’s suggestions and it proved to be one of the highlights of our trip! We also caught a session of genuine Irish music at Kennedy’s Pub - not to be missed! So, everything was grand at our stay at Shannonview Self-Catering!

Wonderful stay!
We stayed for 4 days over Christmas and it was a wonderful experience Connie and her husband welcomed us and made us feel at home. They also checked in on us periodically to make sure we weren't in need of anything. The house is beautiful and the front room with the TV and fireplace got a lot of use. It is a short walk to the waterfront and there is also a restaurant within walking distance. If you like to fish they even provide fishing rods and tackle. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone!

Lovely home!
This was a great home to stay in. Very spacious with lots of room and a lovely view. It is a bit difficult to find so make sure you go by the directions she gives you to go, but make sure you are looking as the house is not easily marked with the name and you will miss the sign as it is on a brick wall coming into the drive way.

Tera, Thank you for your kind words about our holiday house. We take your comments on board regarding the signage to the house. In addition to already sending our guests detailed road directions in several languages, being searchable on Google maps and advising the GPS coordinates, we are currently producing a small map showing the route from the nearest town with all the landmarks on the way as you suggested.

Excellent central Ireland location
The home was exactly as described. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen which is much larger than the one we have at our home. Plenty of tourist information was provided. Connie and Mike were excellent hosts. They were waiting for us when we arrived and gave us a detailed breakdown of the features of the home. The property was clean and well-maintained. We stayed for over two weeks and Mike mowed the grass and Connie brought us a change of towels and linens without us having to ask. Connie and Mike were very responsive to any request we had. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting them. We would easily recommend this home to others. We would have stayed longer if our schedule would have permitted it. Nenagh and Portumna were close by for grocery shopping. Day trips can be done to Connemarra, Cliffs of Moher, Rock of Cashel, and Roscommon. There are numerous activities within an hour from the house that aren't listed in most major travel guides (such as Rick Steve's and DK). The Ireland Pocket Guides produced by the National Tourism Development Authority are the best guides for the specific regions of Ireland. Overall the home was a great value for our money and we would definitely stay here again.

Ein wunderbares Ferienhaus. Am schönsten ist der Wintergarten mit traumhaftem Blick auf den Lough Derg, von Sonnenauf- bis -untergang! Das Ferienhaus ist allerbestens ausgestattet, es fehlt an überhaupt gar nichts. Es ist genug Geschirr, Gläser und Besteck, auch für viele Personen, vorhanden, ebenso wie Spülmaschinentabs und Waschmittel. Und was nicht da ist, besorgt die Gastgeberin Connie. Connie und Mike sind ganz zauberhafte Gastgeber, die uns jederzeit mit Rat, Tat und Hinweisen zu den lokalen Events, etc. zur Seite gestanden haben. Wir hätten es nicht besser treffen können und können dieses tolle Häuschen nur wärmstens empfehlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!!!

Zauberhaftes Haus mit zauberhaften Gastgebern
Shannonview ist so, wie die Beschreibung es verspricht: ein liebevoll eingerichtetes, großzügiges Haus mit einer traumhaften Aussicht. Die Lage, die wundervolle Sonne- und Wolken-Bilder über dem Lough Dergh ermöglicht, ist auch der einzige Wermutstropfen: die nächsten Pubs und Supermärkte sind nicht fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr um das Wohl Ihrer Gäste bemüht. Wir waren schon in einigen Ferienhäusern, aber bislang haben wir noch kein Haus erlebt, in dem man so deutlich gespürt hat, dass die Gastgeber sich in ihre Gäste hineinversetzen und ihre Bedürfnisse kennen, bevor man ihrer selbst gewahr wird. Z. B. wartete auf uns nicht nur eine sondern mehrere Empfehlungen für Gassi-Runden. Eine ganz dicke Empfehlung.
