My uncle rented this house for a week in March. I was one of 10 guests he invited. The house is spectacular, I was amazed by the scale of the whole place, there is a real sense of Brideshead Revisited about it. The house was spotlessly clean which really pleased my wife and the owners were really helpful. Highlights of... More

We had a family reunion here in November, 4 couples and 5 children from 16-6. The House was fantastic, I have stayed in some manor houses before and found them to be a little dark and dusty but there was something about the layout and proportions of the rooms here that I found very pleasing. The adults rooms were big... More

Over the last five years I must have stayed at Farran House at least 10 times. My husband's company has an office in Cork and he often stays at Farran House, sometimes I accompany him on those business trips and also last June we had a wonderful weekend when took 8 of our friends there to celebrate my husbands 50th...

How anyone could not find John and Patricia gracious hosts is beyond me. I have had the great fortune of staying at Farran House on four occasions now--once in 2003, when our party of 13 booked the entire house, once in 2004, when my daughter and I visited; and twice last summer (2006), when my son and I were exploring...

I agree with the other reviewers about the beauty of Farran House and surrounds however the experience of staying there was far from pleasant. The main problem was that it felt like staying in someones home as unwanted guests, we felt like we were imposing. Our inclination was to tip toe about the place and whisper, our impression that these... More

We staid just for one night, and we were sad that we could not stay for longer. The house is lovely, what you see in the photos on the website is really true. The room was great, big, comfortable, with a huge bed, a fire place and a great view to Ireland country site. The bathroom was from a movie,... More

This is my favouite place to stay anywhere in the world and I have travelled alot. The house is beautifully designed, I have seldom seen a heritage house that feels so bright and fresh. The owners, Patricia and John, look much too young to have such a majestic house, they spent 7 years restoring the building from an unwanted shell.... More

Farran House is a truly beautiful home. Approaching the house along its drive, you are immediately impressed by the building. The double front doors lead you into a huge hallway, and directly to a large staircase, which has two huge stain glass windows. The room was fantastic, with large beds in our family room, and a large en-suite with a... More
