Jul 19 - Jul 30, 2026
Alex and Kim brought our vision to life. Our family has been wanting to visit Ireland for years and we finally did it and it’s a trio for the books. Alex listened to what we needed and preferred as a family and Kim’s coordination it came together great! The tours, the hotels, the food recommendations and quick responses to questions, it was lovely.
Hotel Reviews
Dromoland Castle Hotel was one of the really nice hotels we stayed at. The service was excellent, the room was great, and overall it was a fantastic experience. It really stood out as a highlight among the accommodations on our trip.
Bushmills Inn was great. The hotel was very nice, the spaces were comfortable, and the service was really great. It suited what we needed perfectly and was a very pleasant place to stay.
Stauntons on the Green was really nice. The service was excellent, and the accommodations suited our needs well. Alex was very attentive to our requests, especially regarding the bed setup, which made our stay comfortable.
Lough Eske Castle Hotel was disappointing due to poor organization. Despite requests for a rollaway bed, it never arrived after multiple asks. Housekeeping was inconsistent, often not replacing towels or bringing the wrong number. The front desk was not very helpful or receptive to feedback, which made the experience frustrating.
Knockranny House Hotel and Spa felt a bit odd and creepy to us. The hotel had very wide hallways and was eerily quiet, which made it uncomfortable, especially for the kids. The food was not great, and the service was a bit off. It seemed like a nice enough place, but it just didn't feel welcoming or lively.
Activity Reviews
The Falconry at Dromoland Castle was hands down the best activity we did on the trip. It was a lot of fun and totally worth it. I’m really glad Alex recommended it because we wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. It was a unique and memorable experience for the whole family.
The Marble Arch Caves were awesome and really cool to explore. However, I would advise future visitors to be prepared for a lot of walking and about 150 steps to get off the tour. It might be a bit challenging for those not ready for that level of physical activity, so a heads-up would be helpful.
Carrick-a-Rede Bridge was a great experience and the next best thing after the falconry. I was initially nervous about the swaying bridge with the little one, but the kids loved it. It was a fun and exciting activity that added a lot to our trip.
