'Relaxing and stylish retreat in the bucolic Irish Midlands. Bartholomew’s Loft in Johnsfort is absolutely lovely - the reform that the hosts have done on an old farmhouse is one of the nicest we have ever seen! They’ve managed the rare feat of creating a space which is comfortable and stylish at the same time; great for families or people who appreciate a curated collection of special finds well-integrated into the design of the loft. The hosts are warm, inviting, lively, discreet, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The farm is wonderful and Clonmellon is the perfect village to have right nearby. We couldn’t recommend a site more highly for a relaxing stay.'

'Adorable. I would highly recommend for families/groups or individuals looking to get out in nature for R&R. The hobbit house was very cute, the beds were comfortable, and the furniture is unique. While the shower and toilet were outside, it still felt very private. Everything was clean and well kept. The host was very pleasant.'

'Exceptional. We were amazed at the campsite, the buildings, the thought behind the aesthetic of it. It was a much more luxurious glamping experience than expected. The hobbit house room was very spacious. The bed was super comfortable. Plenty of sockets, a TV, a fire pit outside, heating at your own discretion. The whole site offers so much to the guest, the hot tub area, constant pizza oven availability, recreational rooms if the weather is bad. There is a fully functioning and well stocked with supplies kitchen for use. The bathroom facilities were very fresh and always clean. The owner is very helpful.'

'Enjoyed a wonderful time over the May Bank Holiday in the hobbit houses. We went with 3 other families and the kids had a ball playing in the central green and fields and toasting marshmallows. Excellent bbq and kitchen facilities which work rain or shine, meant the adults had a fab time catching up too. And the houses themselves are so nicely appointed... We loved that each one had its own theme and enjoyed the great attention to detail Kyra has put in to each one. Such a relaxing, fun getaway, we will definitely be back!'
