I stayed at Inch House Ireland in the busy run up to Christmas in search of a little reenergising break after what has been a very tumultuous year for everyone.... read more Upon arrival I was greeted by Michael who I could tell was dawning a welcoming smile even behind his mask. I instantly felt at home when I walked through the door as the house has a very inviting and relaxing vibe that only increases as you navigate through each room. Michael showed me to my room and was always instantly available no matter how big or small my enquiry throughout my stay. The room was beautifully appointed with the bed being the ultimate highlight, one of the best nights sleep I've had outside of my own home.
I decided to treat myself to some Afternoon Tea and I can wholeheartedly say I was not disappointed, the presentation was quirky and creative adding to the feeling that a lot of thought is put into every detail at Inch House from Michaels behalf.
Inch House is located a mere 5 minute drive outside Stradbally, and is conveniently located close to the M7 - It is far enough out to provide a perfectly relaxing riverside retreat, but yet close enough to enjoy many of the nearby amenities without the need to spend much time in the car.
COVID relegations were all adhered to and I never once felt like anyone's safety was a second thought, Sanitising stations are located throughout this home away from home and Michael ensured to adhere to distancing guidelines at all times so there is no need to feel nervous when staying here.
I will definitely be recommending Inch House Ireland to my friends and family, I look forward to a return stay in 2021!!

It is also notable position of Inch house which means it’s the perfect pitstop for afternoon tea which is offered in their very festive dining room. We came back from our morning walk around the nearby Stradbally woods (which I might add was so peaceful and picturesque), to be greeted with an excellent selection of homemade of home made savories, presented so eloquently hanging from a little tree. The homely feeling continued upstairs to the bedrooms, where we could not find a fault with.

Definitely will back in the new year.
