Family vacation

This is a beautiful property in an amazing location. We were 8 adults and 7 children aged 2-14 and everyone loved it. The grounds are beautiful to take a walk. Lots of cows which were a big hit with the Los Angeles city kids. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming or friendly. Thank you for helping us make lifetime memories

Dripsey is a magical place, the beauty of the property inside and out is unmatched. Orla and team were extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process and helped us plan this unforgettable trip from start to finish. I hope to get back there soon!

AMAZING! Great for families!

This was our favorite place to stay in Ireland. Family of 13 rented for 2 nights. Second night we paid for the chef to come cook and had a big family dinner. Then we all sat around the dinner table and played cards. It was a great family bonding experience. Absolutely amazing! Home is just stunning and the grounds are all to perfect! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
