Susan 
“The property couldn’t be in a more attractive location for country side lovers.”
The sitting room patio doors have a lovely view of the owner’s garden and beyond to fields and a hill. Our daily visitors were robins, wrens and pied wagtails. The lodge is an easy drive into Ballybunion and Listowel in the other direction. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly couple who own it and our comfort and happiness was their major concern whilst also leaving us in peace to get on with our holiday so many thanks to them. for making our stay so

Howard “The owners were friendly and very welcoming.”
They were happy to stop and chat but didn’t intrude. They frequently came to check that we had all we needed and that everything worked. The house was comfortable spotless and beautifully furnished. Lovely views and we had use of the garden. We felt well looked after and had the most wonderful holiday in this lovely place. Our thanks to Maurice and Angela for a memorable week. We left with a good feeling.

Frances “We enjoyed two weeks in this clean and comfortable property with everything provided and fantastic views.”
The Kerry coast and countryside is stunning and we couldn’t fit everything in that we wanted to do. When the weather wasn’t being too kind we had the perfect cosy hideaway to relax in. Maurice and Angela live next door. They are generous hosts offering all the help we needed while respecting our privacy. We’d love to go back one day.

John “Wow where do I start?”
Can’t believe how lucky we were to pick Moybella Lodge for our holiday. A perfect little home away from home. Fully equipped, even down to an air fryer, The setting is just wonderful, we even watch a badger run across the lawn. Ang and Maurice went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Trust me this little gem is definitely the place to stay if you’re exploring County Kerry.

Rosemary “Maurice & Angela were very friendly and hospitable hosts.”
The lodge had everything you need, was very homely and clean, with a lovely quiet garden. Watching the birds in the garden was so relaxing. Great location for Wild Atlantic way and Ballybunion, which has lovely sandy beaches and great cliff walk. Would recommend as a quiet, relaxing base for an Irish holiday. The hosts will look after you, while also leaving you in peace to enjoy your holiday.

The kitchen was well supplied with cooking equipment including an air fryer! It is close to both Ballybunion, (has an excellent array of take aways and a Supervalu) and Listowel, ( has a Supervalu, Lidl and Aldi as well as some lovely coffee shops).

Phillip “I had a very nice week in moybella lodge its in a quiet location with beautiful ...”
I had a very nice week in moybella lodge its in a quiet location with beautiful scenery, the house itself was perfect, comfortable and spotless clean with all the facilities and amenities needed and just a mile from lisselton where there is a pub, restaraunt and petrol station/shop for daily essentials and for anything else the towns of listowel and ballybunion are nearby, i dont drive so i cycle and found listowel to be a 20 minute cycle away and ballybunion 10/15 minutes away so very handy for someone like me, wnen i arrived i was met by angela who was really nice and had some fruit and a couple of bottles of water for me and showed me around the house, i later that day met maurice who was very friendly and chatty and told me i could knock at their door if i needed any help which fortunately i didnt, some people might be afraid or put off by the family dog but shouldnt be he is a very well trained and well behaved german shepherd and isn't at all a nuisance and certainly not a danger and is mostly indoors anyway, overall i got very good value for my money and couldnt be happier with my week in moybella lodge and would recommend to anyone

Paul “This accommodation honoured its promises as advertised and more!”
Located conveniently close to the picturesque seaside town of Ballybunion and bigger towns such as Listowel and Tralee, it represented the perfect balance between serene countryside and local amenities. The lodge itself is charmingly intimate and exceptionally clean and comfortable with superb views of the surrounding countryside. We were very impressed with the friendly, helpful yet respectfully non-intrusive service of our wonderful hosts Maurice and Angela. My husband and I have been left with treasured memories of a special time in a house we called our home for the duration of our stay. Highly recommend. Ciara and Paul

Steven “The self-contained accommodation looked out on to a peaceful rural scene, but was close to the town of Ballybunion with its cliff walk and excellent and extensive beach.”
We found it a good base for exploring the area. The ferry at Talbert was about 20 minutes drive away and enabled us to visit Killkey with its dramatic cliff walk. The Dingle peninsular was quite accessible also. The lounge in the accommodation was light and airy and the kitchen facilities very good. We have no hesitation in recommending this holiday accommodation.
- Steven, June 2019 -

Angela and Maurice were very welcoming and even brought over a toy for our little boy to play with. The accommodation was charming- clean, fresh, filled with natural light and well designed. At 5 minutes drive from both the stunning Ballybunion beach and bustling town of Listowel this was a most enjoyable and peaceful getaway. We can highly recommend this location and are planning a trip back there shortly!

Colin “We have been renting cottages from Hogan's /Sykes for a number of years now, and have seen all kinds and types of cottage some good, some not so good, but I have to say this one is by far 'The' best We have stayed in.”
People ,often come on these feedback columns, and moan about things ( albeit in their mind totally justified) I can't find a single thing to say against this accommodation. The ,location was brilliant, everything in the cottage worked, it had central heating which most of the Irish cottages do not have. The cottage was purpose built by Maurice ( owner) for his mother in ,law, so obviously he has put evefrytbhibg in to to make her life comfortable. She ;passed and now he rents it out, all the people who go there will be getting the benefit of the effort he ;put into it for her So to sum up, this is a 1st ,class cottage, with a good owner, who likes to crack endless jokes with his clientele, I found him very endearing, and he cares about what his customers want No I am not related to bhim and he is not my brother lol !.
- Colin, May 2018 -
Stephen “Compared to the phots on the Sykes website (that were very good), the actual property looked even better in reality.”
It was very spacious for a 1 bed property. The view from the lounge out through the patio doors up to Knockanore mountain, a great vista. The owners provide a very warm welcome upon arrival and the cottage facilities are of the highest standard. Highly recommended.
- Stephen, May 2018 -
Albert “Report for Hogans Cottages dated 13th May 2018 Thanks to the accuracy of the Sat Nav co-ordinates provide we arrived at Moybella Lodge where we received a very warm welcome from the owner who brought us on a conducted tour of the property.”
This was exactly as shown in your Holiday Details and the owner could not have been more helpful advising us of things to do and places to visit together with the location of suitable hostelries in Ballybunnion and surrounding areas. If you want peace and tranquility, magnificent views and sandy beaches, this is the place to come. Albert F. Stuart

Norah “Very friendly owners, but not intrusive.”
easy to find. Very well designed, a great place to relax and chill out. Need to use car every time to go out, no restaurants/ bar within walking distance A little disappointed with Ballybunnion itself as large fairground, but go a little further and fantastic coastline, even in height of August we found near deserted beaches and beautiful villages.
