From start to finish we were made to feel most welcome. Even on our morning walks the local drivers all waved and said good morning. We are from the UK and the US. This charming house provided us with a perfect base to explore the area and also hunker down and enjoy our family time. Joe and Carmen are the kindest hosts. There were delicious treats in the kitchen to make our arrival Even sweeter. We will definitely be back at some point during the warmer months! Lots of quaint villages and bigger towns nearby, can’t wait to come back and explore even more! Thank you!

Super, friendly host Joe met us and gave us an insight into the local area and lots of information. There was just the two of us but the property could easily accommodate seven people. All the facilities that we required, a true home from home. Perfect location for our days out both locally and as far as Waterford, Dublin, Galway and Westport. Thanks again Joe.

Joe and family were the perfect hosts for our trip to County Offaly. Before arriving Joe provided helpful information on things to see and do in the area. On arrival Joe was there to meet us with a warm welcome and he had left us some sweet treats and set up games in the garden for our sons 9 & 12. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. It had all the facilities that you would need. We felt right at home. The location of the house was perfect for us to use a base from which to explore the county and beyond. We were lucky to visit when there were parades and fairs on in both Banagh and Birr which were great fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this part of Ireland and would definitely recommend a stay in Joe's house. Thank you for a great holiday and for all those little extra touches that make this a memorable visit for us. Katherine, Sean, Jake & Lewis

A memorable stay at Hynes Self Catering. A perfectly located gem in the middle of Ireland. Ideal base for travelling both locally and around Ireland. We covered all parts of Ireland. Lots of lovely castles including Ashford Castle,and traditional Irish pubs to Kylemore Abbey to Powerscourt Waterfall. All trips achievable within a day. Local attractions visited were Leap Castle, River Shannon and Tullamore Dew. The towns of Banagher and Birr hosted many restaurants and bars. JJ Houghs in Banagher is a must to visit. We got some Guinness glasses to take away. A lovely souvenir from Banagher! The Dungeon bar in Kinnitty Castle Hotel is only 20Km away and offers a relaxed atmosphere and well worth a visit! The hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. Joe provided us with lots of tips for sightseeing and was very attentive and helpful.The house is well equipped and spacious for families and groups of all ages. We highly recommend this property and location.
