The Loft, Apple Lodge & Blossom Lodge , Macroom, County Cork

"What can I say. This fine establishment exceeded all our expectations. It was the attention to the fine details that makes a good stay, and excellent stay. Tom and Deidre really excelled in everything that made here, truly, a home from home. They have surpassed the level that was expected, in every aspect, when one arrives at such an establishment. This is really a five star experience, and we would highly recommend to one and all!!!"

"Did I die and arrive to heaven? One of the most beautiful lodging options in Ireland. Homely, friendly and naturally beautiful. The owners are extremely friendly and have a whole binder with suggestions of restaurants and places to see. I will definitely come back."

"Wonderful hosts, accommodation and location! Couldn't ask for anything more..."

"Dream room in a difficult enclave. There is no lack of detail in the accommodation: decoration, toiletries, kitchen, cleaning... everything available. Very spacious room with comfortable bed. Parking space for the loft. They leave the breakfast prepared with what is necessary for you to put it to your liking, but it does not end up being like a B&B with a freshly made breakfast, not very complete. Despite good communication, it is not easy to find the house. They should change the location on google as it sends you somewhere else and they are not easy streets to drive."

"We stayed in the Blossom Lodge, the time of year was perfect... surrounded by blooming apple trees. The view of the lake was beautiful. there were many small rabbits eating all around the yard all day long. The birds were singing and happy about spring in Ireland.... kind of perfect. The accommodation was a small new building which was separate from the two other houses. We had a large patio, nice bathroom with shower, a fully stocked kitchenette and parking space. Deirdre did not miss even the smallest detail, all of our needs were met. Deirdre's husband, Tom, maintains the property perfectly. The view from the deck is stunning. There were all of the services and restaurants we needed in the nearby town of Macroom. We were just a short distance from all the sights to be seen in the southwest of Ireland; Killarny, Ring of Kerry, Ring of Beara, Dingle Peninsula, Mizen Peninsula, Baltimore Peninsula, Galley Head, The Old Head of Kinsale, Cork, Mallow, and more castles than you can count. We were able to fit all these in due to the location.... there is a lot to see, we spent four nights there and could have booked more.... southwest Ireland has a lot of stunningly beautiful things to see. It is also a relaxing location to just sit and recover from driving and seeing the sights. Disliked · Deirdre has the stay as close to perfect as humanly possible, you should stay there and try to find any small detail that she has not thought of... if you look that hard.... you are not enjoying your vacation and only looking for fault."
