Exceptional! Two very large rooms (one with a pool table), plus a large modern bathroom meant we had a lot of room to make ourselves at home. Our hosts ( Bronagh & Stephen) were very accommodating and helpful, making us feel very welcome. Excellent facilities, lovely rural setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

Our Host Emily, emailed me the day before we arrived with the details how to get to the house & how to access the keys. I needed to ask a few more questions before our arrival and she got back to us very quickly. This weekend was a tonic for me and my friends, a group of mums looking to escape the craziness of everyday life. The weather was cold, windy and it rained all weekend...but we didn't care. Everything we needed was at Oaktree, a great kitchen to cook in, roaring fire, games and streaming services. We all had enough space to have our own time to relax and a common space in the kitchen to come together. Emily was an excellent host and was available when you needed her. We cant wait to run away again to Oaktree Manor

Just back from a fabulous stay at Annsborough House. It exceeded our expectations. Michael, the host met us on arrival and explained how various facilities worked . The house was clean and comfortable and the facilities were fantastic. Especially the hot tub and disco room which was enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Location was ideal for visiting lots of local attractions. Plenty of space in this house, with 9 bedrooms (3 with double beds!). We'd love to go back someday.

8years since my last visit home and first to the inn with family from England. Drove past the Dundrum Inn for years and never visited but now we have it will be a go to destination. Very warm welcome despite being late due to Storm Amy. Bedroom was spotless and warm. Tea, water and coffeee were very welcome. The bathroom was large and the shower was superb. Boiling hot water anytime of the day, a nice touch was the retro fittings in keeping with the buildings age and character. The bed was so comfortable that we were torn between just staying there or going to the restaurant and bar. The food was fantastic. Breakfast was a choice menu. All cooked superbly and very tasty. Served each morning by Tom who dealt with any requests from allergies to a pint of Guiness with a relative's fry! Family dinner was perfect. Everyone received their meal at the same time, perfectly cooked and hot. Food quality was excellent using local produce.The restaurant prices were very good and service perfect even with multiple parties in the place. Do not miss out on the bar next door. Live music and very good attentive staff serving. Do try the Guinness.
