Guests say
Borahard Lodge is highly praised for its spacious, well-equipped accommodation and friendly hosts. Guests appreciate the property's rural charm, proximity to local attractions, and the personal touches provided by the owners. While most reviews are positive, noting the comfort and cleanliness, a few suggest minor improvements.
The majority of guests have reported the cottage as spotless and very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One review mentioned the need for a spruce up, but this appears to be an isolated opinion.
The location is frequently described as convenient for day trips and close to amenities, with easy access to Dublin. However, one review mentioned traffic noise, which slightly impacts the perfect score for location.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the house cozy, contributing to a pleasant stay. There was a single mention of a lack of heating in one room, which suggests room for improvement in overall comfort.
While the reviews consistently mention that the cottage is well-equipped, there are comments about minor maintenance issues like a loose toilet seat, which was promptly fixed. However, there is not enough detailed information on the range of facilities to provide a comprehensive score.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, including farm-fresh gifts such as milk and eggs. While these gifts are warmly received, it should be noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are offered at the hosts' discretion and may not be guaranteed.

Michael
Thank you! We were comfortable and cozy in the cottage (once we got things warmed up). Lots of dishes and all the pots and pans and such that you need to make meals. Excellent location, too. Newbridge is close and provides all the amenities you could ever want. Dublin airport is an easy 40-minute drive away.
