Detailed Reviews
The cottages at Laragh are set amongst the trees. They are spacious with a large lounge/ dining room/ kitchen with a nice wood burner to keep the cold out. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathroom has a bath. The roads in Hogsback are rather rough but maybe the locals want you to drive slowly. A nice place to sit back and relax.

Good place to stay, however the staircase and balustrades, can be a bit dangerous for small kids considering it's open esp. on the staircase. The risers and balustrades can be concealed making it safer for smaller kids. Otherwise perfect place.

Thanks for your inspiring feedback Jess - Jess emailed us to delete this review because of the 'grammatical errors' but I don't believe that this can be deleted! So, I have copied this below and fixed the 'errors' on her behalf... This was our second time at Laragh on Hogsback and although short, Jenny made us feel incredibly welcomed. The place is spotless and very well equipped and the garden was painted with splashes of pink and purple azaleas. Highly recommended to all my family and friends. Hope that helps😀

This is the second time that we have stayed at Yellowwood Cottage and, as before, it was a most enjoyable stay. The cottage is very spacious and everything is provided for, even some fresh milk for that first cup of tea as well as some rusks. We can certainly strongly recommend the venue.

This cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. It included an enclosed wood fire with wood and kindling which made for wonderful evenings. The hosts managed to keep the electricity flowing even during load shedding. Will definitely stay here again.

Fire stove - very good especially in the rainy weather
Bathroom good. Enough cupboards. Took a few leg knocks moving around the bed in lower room - sharp edges sticking out. Enjoyed the garden and the huge trees. Parking good and space for the caravan.

well equipped apartment (albeit it on the smaller size) in a very well maintained garden. We could BBQ outside in the garden and the kids loved running around and exploring. The best was the closed combustion fireplace which took the chill out of the air.

The apartment has everything you could need and is perfect for a winter break. The garden was idyllic and there was so much to do in the surrounding area. Local advice on hiking trails was invaluable and with town being so close, you can get everything you need
