We had a 2 bedroom and it was fantastic has everything we needed. The grounds and pools are great and reception staff. I just wish they had a coffee shop cafe on the grounds of raffertys to get food and snacks. The tavern staff are absoutel horrible I would not go back here, so rude and unaccommodating

Pros: lovely gardens and pools. Cons: very limited supplies in cottage; uncomfortable lounge; inconsistent air con (freezing downstairs and hot upstairs); second upstairs bedroom without blinds; garage not located at cottage; reception staff at check in didn’t explain anything - eg. where to find cottage or that the garage was located further down the hill.

We recently stayed at Raffertys Resort and unfortunately the cottage we were given was very old, with a strong enclosed, mouldy smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in. The garage was locked, so we weren’t provided with a car space, and parking around the resort was quite difficult to find. Communication was awful — I sent several emails before our stay and received no reply, which was really frustrating. The pools were lovely and well-maintained, but only opening from 9am was a bit inconvenient, especially for early risers. There was also nowhere onsite to buy a morning coffee. On the positive side, the tennis court and facilities were great, and the BBQ areas were clean and enjoyable. The water sports activities looked fun. Overall, the resort has potential, but the accommodation, communication, and some key amenities really need improvement.

Excellent stay.

The location on the resort grounds is excellent. The rooms are large and have space to put luggage. The main bathroom is large & has a bath. If you have small children- the stairs are very steep & narrow- be mindful of this. The kitchen was large in size- only crockery provided no condiments. The airconditioning seems to be locked on 1 setting- however there are extra blankets in the cupboards. Balcony is beautiful & lot's of wildlife to see. There isn't any parking outside the villa- you need to park a good 5-7min walk away. Again with small children/a lot of luggage this can be an issue. Overall clean stay.

Cobwebs everywhere. gutters outside full of plants and debris, leaking, mouldy and rusty. Wood trims in bathroom are rotting. Cockroaches dead on the floor and live ones coming out of the sink and cupboards. Other small bugs all over the place too. No useful utensils like a sharp knife, scissors or cutting board but they give you 10+ metal straws and a bunch of salad serving utensils…. Flyscreen broken doesn’t roll on the track. No internet despite the ad saying they have it. Lounge is just cushions on a build it platform that sits approx 10cm off the floor. It’s extremely uncomfortable and hard to get up from. Aircon cannot be changed for zones so it’s either on for everyone or off. Upstairs gets much hotter than downstairs and doesn’t cool down very much. There is giant triangle windows in the upstairs bedrooms that allow a lot of sun in and there is no blinds on these windows, it doesn’t help with the heat and trying to cool the rooms down. I would not stay in this cottage again. It was a waste of money. However, the resort itself was nice, lady at reception was kind. Lots of pools to choose from, nice gardens to walk though. There is no walkway, so you have to walk on the road which is dangerous especially when you have a pram and kids.

Lovely Resort

We stayed in a 2 bedroom loft cottage. It was lovely and spacious, comfy beds (although I would suggest bringing own pillow). The garden's were lovely and nice pools. The tv in our cottage was in a strange position, ie not in front of the lounges which was a bit frustrating to watch. The restaurant was also being renovated during our stay so no-where to eat but there was a range of courtesy buses available to pubs etc. But all up nice place to stay.

The setting was amazing, location beautiful but was glad we only stayed two nights as the kitchen was average. It seemed that the crockery, cutlery and pots and pans hadn’t had a good clean in a while and there wasn’t any dishwasher tablets to remedy.

The 4 pools were the clincher.

The office was closed at 6:50pm when we arrived (no prior communication or call confirming), however there was an out of hours number to call, who were helpful in checking in. The accommodation was fine, dated, but suitable for our stay. There was a large amount of dead ants in the cutlery drawer, as well as a couple of live cockroaches running around, the following morning we also found a large amount of live ants running around kitchen (no food left out as we ate out and didnt have a chance to buy any). On a positive the amenities were great, tennis courts, pools which were great for kids.

Nice place with beautiful landscapes

The resort is really nice has 3 pool beautiful pools, reception contacted me to give me the password for late check in and everything went well, the last day I asked if I could pay late check out as it was my birthday and I wanted to go for a swim the receptionist was really kind and didn't charge me at all the late check out, the only issue that I had was that I requested two rooms with queen bed and one room with two single beds and they gave me two rooms with two single beds but it wasn't a big deal we just put the beds together and everything was ok. The house where we stayed is in good condition but some wardrobes smell like humid or something but again it wasn't a big deal. The price was a little bit higher because was public holiday but was still affordable I will definitely book again but I would recommend contact directly the resort if you need specific bedrooms set up.
