    Mary and Raymond were the kindest people we've met so far during our Ireland trip. Check-in went smoothly, the room was clean with comfortable heated beds. Bathroom had towels, shampoo and shower gel and overall very pleasent experience. We had an irish breakfast with tea and coffee, which was delicious. If I ever visited Ireland again, I would definitelly stay at the Moate Lodge. Raymond also gave us a lot of tips and info about interesting locations near there. We recommend the Lodge 10/10!

    The lack of signposts to the house. I arrived after dark but not such a problem during daylight hours, perhaps. If you have a satnav that can find places based on postal codes, type in: 'R14 YH60'. No other gripes.

    Once I arrived, after a little difficulty, everything was 'plain sailing'. I parked near the front door. My room and ensuite were very satisfactory, if a little small. Wi-Fi available. Plenty of storage space for clothes etc in my room. Tea and coffee making 'facilities' were on the landing near the room door. Cost of staying (cash on arrival) was good value. Breakfast was very tasty in the conservatory at the rear of the house. No problems to report. (Note: I'm not a fussy visitor - it's all very subjective!) I would be happy to stay here again. Recommended.

    My stay at Moate Lodge was great! It’s a beautiful, old (18th century) stone farmhouse on a working farm. The hosts, Mary and Raymond, are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and the full Irish breakfast was delicious. I would gladly stay again!

    We had a brilliant stay with our children. The owners did their best to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was beautiful, the surroundings were quiet and tranquil, and you aren't too far from towns, open farms, and attractions.

    We should have asked, but we had a hard time getting the radiators to get warm amd heat the room.

    The farm was neat to see and hear about. The authentic house from when our country (US) became a country was neat to learn about and experience.

    We unfortunately arrived rather late and the owners were understanding and accommodating. Breakfast was fresh and very well made. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly, welcoming and we had the bonus of having their grandchildren being present who were adorable and eager to show their knowledge of the farm. Overall a wonderful stay.

    Everything was ok.

    Mary and Raymond restored this old house to a B&B. It is a beautifull, cosy, old farming house. We stayed in a room upstairs with a 2m broad bed, our own bathroom. We had everything we needed. When you look outside the windows you have a view over the golden fields, that are around the estate. It is quiet, no sound of cars or noise from the city. Just sparrows in the morning. Mary gives us the best tip for Dinner. The auld Shebeen Bar and Restaurant. On a sunday evening the whole Pub was singing together, we have met a lot of friendly people and had conversations we will never forget. Thank you very much. The breakfast was healthy with oats, fruits, toast and selfbaked bread, butter and marmelade, coffee, tea and fresh orange juice. Everything we needed. It is an old House with a lot of love and details in it, wich makes it unique. It was our last Night in Ireland, and it was the most comfortable night.

    Raymond and Mary were the most lovleyist of hosts! We had a very late check-in of close to midnight due to our late flight, yet they were gracious to allow us to stay overnight. Enjoyed a full Irish breakfast. We didn't have time to walk around their property, but as a working farm, was a beautiful place.
