Eclectic property in the middle of nowhere with beautiful grounds, and great accommodations. Room as spacious and clean with a great view of the gardens. Loved that there were no TVs. Great deck lounge chairs! Very nice breakfast as well. We really enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing.and recharging
Clone House set in the most peaceful part of the forest was a pleasure to stay in. It was very clean and the room was beautiful. The gardens were absolutely stunning. We had a lovely two dsys there and would recommend it to get away from the norm

My wife and I stayed for two nights. We found the house lovely and quiet. A little bit off the beaten track, but all the nicer for that, and perfect for our needs, with just the right ambiance. Lovely gardens, and friendly and helpful owner made for a really nice stay.

We stayed here for three nights. Part if its charm is that it is off the beaten track. Beautiful house and gardens. Quiet and relaxing, comfortable room. The shower was barely adequate but this is an old building. We had problems with a duff hire car but the owner and staff were very helpful. Great hospitality. Recommended.

Stayed here just one night. The property is a little hard to find but once there, you are greeted by the best dogs ever! The property is nice, although parts need a lot of tending/work. The room was fine. It was very clean, which is most important. However, we booked a room for 3 (one child) the cot provided for a 12 y.o had seem much better days. It was more like an army cot. Breakfast was terrific and the hostess was lovely. Not much to do around there but it is a beautiful part of the world.

We loved the charming atmosphere of Clone House. The decor was lovely , our room and bathroom we're clean and comfortable, and the grounds had well maintained gardens with several peaceful areas to sit to take in the beautiful countryside. Breakfast was wonderful with several choices daily. Fresh pressed coffee, homemade scones and fresh fruit and yogurt on top of what you ordered, made a great start to the day. The host was friendly and willing to recommend local spots for sightseeing and dining. We highly recommend Clone House and would rebook here the next time we come to Ireland!

An ok stay
Stay was ok, old properties require lots of maintenance which was lacking here. Toilet seat only fixed one side, pull cord for light too short - wife unable to reach it, bath overflow Heath Robinson, outside decor very poor. Main problem for us was room not serviced on one day of our stay. Many people will not be used to old properties and aware of the indoor window shutters (no curtains) and whereas we were fine an explanation would have been nice. On the plus side a great deal of work is being done in the gardens and there are lots of seats in different locations, breakfasts were good with good products. Very peaceful, comfortable lounge. The property has great potential and as work progresses it will become a really nice and fascinating place to stay

Ice Cold
Seems a nice old house but I'm afraid without any heat the room is extremely cold and damp. My wife and I decided not to stay as there was no way that the place could be brought to a level of heat and comfort that would ensure that we could get a nights sleep. In fact we felt that stay in winter time in the room could damagfe outr health. We informed the owner of our decision to leave and felt that some form of reduction in charge seeing that we would not be about for breakfast might be forcoming. We were wrong. It might be oaky in Summer time.

This is review is slightly ingenious. The weather was 10-11 C outside. We provide room radiators, extra electric heater, working fireplace AND electric blankets. Couple said they had personal emergency and had to urgently return home. We cannot get heating exactly right for everyone but had they used any number of heating provided the room could have been up to standard. They asked for refund even though cancelling last minute due to personal emergency. This is is a bit sour grapes. People need to not expect to tie up rooms and cancel after checkin then receive refunds. It is not fair to us or others we turn away.

Toilet light didn't work. Floor paint flaked off onto bare feet in the bedroom. No one around when arriving or leaving. Had to wander around to find the host. Building needs a tidy up and a paint. Beautiful setting.

😂😂😂Get a corporate hotel! :). It is a 370 year old heritage house dude. Nice review though. But you need to stay with new builds.

Perfect and relaxing pet friendly get-away
Loved our stay at Clone House. We spent 3 days here with our little pet dog. Staff very friendly, professional and willing to help meet any of our needs. Quiet, relaxing stay at Clone House and a short drive to lots of amenities in the surrounding region. We were lucky enough to be offered an optional in-house dinning experience which was fantastic. Clone House is perfect for anyone looking for a pet friendly get-away.

Beautiful house and setting. I had an early start for work the next morning but got up an hour early to take advantage of the walks around the grounds. Loved the bath tub though didn’t use it.

I had a lovely stay at Clone House! I wish I could have stayed longer than one night. My host, was warm and friendly. The breakfast was delicious, I had the mini Irish breakfast and pancakes. I would recommend staying here and would definitely return.

Jeff the owner was an excellent host and location is beautiful. Exterior did not quite live up to online images however. We were also disappointed to find out on arrival we had to pay a €20 supplement for bringing our dog to this dog friendly venue.

Yes, I know it is a surprise but we do not offer “free” lodging for guests, children or animals. Shocking as it may be we are a business not a free charity. We try to make a great spot for pets but they do impact other guests, soil floors, require further cleanup etc. Always surprised that people surprised to be charged for a service of lodging by a lodging business. But we prefer to offer a great pet friendly environment but, as with pet hotels, not a free one. We think our beloved pets are worth the extra TLC by discriminating owners rather than being locked in at home or in a kennel
