“A Hidden Jewel”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

My wife and I recently spent a wonderful weekend in a hidden part of Ireland and discovered this really excellent location. Unspoilt by much of the tourism that has left parts of Ireland looking a little too commercialised; this area of the country is well worth a visit. Liz Keane is a lovely person and runs a very personalised service... More

“Best getaway in the West!”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Had a lovely week- long break here with my partner, so chilled out and relaxed. A beautiful setting right in front of the water with lovely views from the kitchen table. Tony and Liz were the best hosts you could ask for so friendly and accomodating. Free turf to keep the fire going and the local harbour with it supply... More

“The real deal, back to basics but with a touch of contemporary cottage living.”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

We arrived in Killala to a warm welcome from the locals and the owners of The Old Deanery. Liz was so helpful in letting me know what to do in the local area using everyone's first name recommending foraging or hillwalking feeling like these people were old friends. That evening Liz told me there was a yoga class what a... More

Reviewed 29 December 2012

Hard to find anything better. They are located right in the village but have lovely views out into the Bay. Location is superb and are only a very short walking distance to local pubs and the village which has has a very decent small supermarket that is only 2 minute walk away. Interiors of the cottages are really nice and... More

Hi Thelma B, Thanks so much for the wonderful review - it's great to hear that you all had such a good time here with us last summer.

“Sublime Holiday”

Maybe we should keep this little gem a secret??!!! Still renewed from a recent sentimental journey to Killala, the images and fond memories of our stay have stilled the spirit and etched warm paths in our hearts. Two charming ladies from Palmerstown and Ross greeted us as if we were family; turf fire ablaze on arrival... the cottage was very... More

“Great holiday in Killala”

A group of eight of us shared 3 cottages at the Old Deanery in June. The cottages overlook Killala Bay and it was lovely to have breakfast looking out on the sunrise over the water. Liz and Tony are so friendly and couldn't do enough for us during our stay. Turf fires were lighting on arrival and after that, the... More

“Such a great time!”

Reviewed 17 June 2012

I stayed here with a group of New Zealand walkers back in July 2010 and visited again in 2011. Liz and Tony are absolute gems - lots of laughs and enthusiasm for Killalla ... which is such an amazing place - ancient ecclesiastical history, and just oozing atmosphere. The cottages comfortable tastefully appointed with the turf fire a real highlight.... More
