Deleeuw Family
The youngest 27 and oldest 68, four of us all together thoroughly enjoy the accommodation. 30 acres worth of peaceful, relaxing walks. A wood burning fireplace heats up the early morning dew. House location suited our needs for visiting any south west town easily. You will want for more time.

Sept visit to Broadford
It was so very peaceful and was a welcoming place after a long day of sightseeing. We had a fire every night and ate wonderful meals in the large, modern kitchen. We each had our own bathroom as well as one downstairs. We used the washer and dryer. Appreciated the coffee maker as well as the electric tea kettle and French press. The lproperty was so beautiful and quiet.

Peace Profound
Glenview Lodge is a lovely property -and what a setting! Surrounded by trees and nothing but green fields beyond, the sense of tranquility was wonderful. Great for families with small children and adults (like us)escaping the city noise. The Lodge also offers good access to local attractions and some of the 'Big Sights' like Killarney and Dingle are all within reach for a grand day out. Our hosts were always contactable but there were absolutely no issues on out trip. Thank you Sean and Monica.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Neenan

Host profile image
Seán and I invite you to relax and unwind in our traditional farmhouse cottage among mature gardens in picturesque rural area convenient for touring south and west of Ireland. We have been 4 star approved by Fáilte Ireland (the Irish Tourist Board) since we tastefully restored the cottage in 2005 and began welcoming guests. The house and farm have been in the family since Dermot Sullivan of Ballykennedy bought land in Broadford including the land now containing Glenview Lodge in 1685 from John Anketel.
We live just down the road so we are always available. As I have great memories of spending my childhood in the dwelling house helping out in the farm, milking cows, feeding the hens, heading off for school every morning and other wonderful memories it is our privilege to be able to share it with people from all over the globe. You will be made very welcome.
With kind regards,
Monica
