The shower water pressure was poor.

A charming place with lots of personal touches. A great place to relax. We enjoyed walking in the grounds of Castletown House.

The bathroom was quite difficult to use because you shouldn’t get a shower but just a bath and it’s quite old so you need to pay extra attention.

What we liked the most was the heritage atmosphere and the stunning countryside around. We had a long walk through an uncontaminated path to the Castletown House, just few minutes away from the property. Breda, the house manager, is absolutely nice and gentle, always ready to provide you an answer and she gave us many useful information for visiting Dublin and the surroundings.

Very warm and moist at first, but with the help of the property manager the heating system was shut down. The hot water tap in the bathroom had an insecure connection to the sink, making it difficult to turn on and off. The toilet seat was awkward to use.

Wonderful park location a short distance from the river Liffey. The property itself was a delightful throwback to, perhaps, a simpler time.

Stair case is very steep, so not for anyone unsteady on their feet.

Beautiful setting at the edge of the park. So quiet and peaceful night. Beautiful fire! Great selection of books, roaring fire and delighted there was no TV. Breda that house keeper is absolutely amazing! Had lots of information about the property and surrounding areas!

The Bathroom,, as lovely as it is. The toilet seat was mad to close 🤣 and the shower/bath was an experience but brilliant to go back in time and wash your hair with a jug besides using the shower head. .

We loved the lodge, so spacious. It had everything you could need .. would advise a walk through the park to Castletown House for a wonderful walk and a delicious breakfast 😋

The sofa and armchairs were quite tired, stained and smelt bad, perhaps they need to be replaced. The whole place, although wonderful, would benefit from a deep clean and a fresh lick of paint. Little touches are lacking, and at the price being charged it's a pity, because such things can really elevate a property.

Batty Langley is a gorgeous property that is a wonderful step back in time. It's in a fabulous location, quiet and peaceful and yet close to town too. Breda was really lovely to deal with and very helpful. It was great to be able to bring our dog with us on holiday. The bed was very clean and comfortable.

The proximity to the parklands of Castlehouse Estate is wonderful… we went for walks and just enjoyed the scenery. We also had tea at Castlehouse and the cafe’ offers amazing cakes. Staying in a historic place is something that I will treasure and the idea that I helped in preserving these national treasures makes me happy. The house have everything we need.. from kitchen cutlery, plates, and cooking items.. to dishwasher and washer to wash our clothes. Though it does not have a dryer, we simply went to a spot with a dryer and everything went as planned. I do advice that you should have a car if you stay here to give you mobility. It is about 30 min to Dublin and 3 hrs to the Cliffs of Moher 😊 we totally enjoyed our stay and the house manager Brida came personally welcome us upon our arrival…it was overall an excellent place to stay .

Travelling for 12 hours by car and ferry to get there - but it was worth the journey!

Loved the location with its excellent walks in the gounds of Castletown house. Doggie friendly. Breda was a very helpful property manager with suggestions on places to visit. A comfortable and pleasant stay.

EVERYTHING! Amazing, unique accommodations. Great location. Castletown, Leixlip, Maynooth… all beautiful and charming. Dublin… just a half hour away. We loved this place for so many reasons and highly recommend.

No Wi-Fi but your not staying here for that.

secluded and has a characteristic you’ll find nowhere else in Ireland! Makes you feel like you went back 200 years back in time! Nothing like this ever experience and if you have a chance to book don’t hesitate!

Nothing

It was an absolute privilege to stay in this 18th century building. So much history and character and so cozy for a winter break. Breda was a wonderful hostess. Loved it all.

It was so perfect , the only thing to improve my stay would have been a longer stay or a later check out.

I fell in love with this property online. Staying there was magical. It's beautiful and superbly furnished with sympathetic furniture and ornaments. I particularly liked the windows, the pictures, books, and the embroidered fire screen. The amazing windows look out onto parkland and the river. It was so nice to actually be in the parkland of an historic home. I did a guided tour of Castletown house which I recommend. Walks along the river and through park were beautiful. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Check in and out was very easy. The log fire - I hadn't intended to use - but it certainly was lovely to light each evening. I felt very happy and safe here and hope to return next year. There were shops, cafes etc within a reasonable walking distance, the property is at the edge of park and behind it is a lane. So very quiet and secluded in the evenings. I didn't go out in the evening- the property is somewhere you actually want to spend time in. No TV or internet. Nice bathroom - proper bath. A great experience.

The nature of this property as a gatehouse to a park has drawbacks from many park users coming by, some looking in the windows and trying the door. The exterior is amazing so I didn't blame them for wanting to see inside! Only one bathroom which was upstairs. The stairs are very old and have tight turns with uneven steps, just be careful and take your time.

The historical aspect of this property was fascinating! The decor is all antiques, the windows are beautiful. Unit has a washer/dryer that worked well. Kitchen had all amenities needed. The bed was comfortable and clean. It was very quiet at night. The history in this area is amazing, check out the main mansion, Castletown, which is just across the park, the tour was jaw dropping!

The bathroom was very poor. Tiny, shabby, just a bath with a hand shower attachment, nowhere to put toiletries. I know that the Landmark Trust like to appoint their holiday lets in keeping with the property, which is part of their appeal, but they included a dishwasher, washing machine and fridges, so why not a reasonably modern bathroom?

Good location - on the edge of Castletown Park. Easy drive into Dublin and into the countryside. Lovely old Lodge.
