Wonderful Stay in Whitegate

Our stay at this Whitegate cottage was amazing. The two-story cottage was perfect. Hosts Carole & Kevin had food and site-seeing recommendations and they were always spot-on. Do not hesitate to book with accommodation. As my friend wrote, "A beautiful place of healing and natural adventure. Hard clear stars on the dark, night sky. I may have left, but this place will never leave me."

Delightful stay in the country

We couldn't have been happier with our vacation stay in this historic stone cottage near Lough Derg. Carol and Kevin were extremely helpful, finding us pubs with live music, great restaurants, and seeing that we had everything that we needed, and more. We really enjoyed the farm animals, birds, and plants on their property and along the lovely country roads that wind along the shores of the Lough. Would love to go back for another vacation some day !

Warm Irish Welcome at Williamstadt

We had a lovely experience at Williamstadt House! Carole and Kevin were amazing hosts. The cottage was charming, welcoming and comfortable. We loved the beautiful pastoral setting and enjoyed the local vibe as well as day trips to The Burren, Cliffs of Moher and Galway. I highly recommend this VRBO

Like coming home

We were in Ireland from the US for 7 days spending 3 in Dublin and driven most of the day from Dublin, stopping in Limerick, before arriving at Williamstadt late in the afternoon. Carole and Kevin are amazing hosts and from the moment we arrived became like family. Carole met me with a warm hug welcoming us to their home and Kevin quickly bonded with my husband over a dram of Jameson, which became a nightly event. The cottage is nicely done with all the charm you would want. Our teenager quickly bonded with the dogs, ducks and of course the donkeys becoming their evening caretaker during our stay. Mornings were met by Stella and Toby (the donkeys) greeting us at the window for their morning carrots. The property is beautiful with so much history and open space to walk and explore. We are not sure when we will be able to return but we will absolutely return to Williamstadt House. Thank you Carole and Kevin for a wonderful time.

Beautiful Spot!

We stayed with Carole and Kevin for 5 days and it could not have been any nicer. Great hosts and wonderful spot to relax and also see everything that Ireland has to offer. Would not hesitate to go back there again. Please tell Sally and Rosie hi from all of us. Allison, Bill, Barb and Leslie
