In February 2020, a new chapter began for us as we became the proud owners of 2 Craigwell Villas. From January to May 2021, we embarked on an extensive project of expansion, complete renovation, and thoughtful furnishing to give birth to what is now Holly Hayes House. The passion and dedication we poured into this endeavour are a testament to our commitment to creating a haven that goes beyond the ordinary. We're not just offering accommodation; we're inviting you to immerse yourself in an experience. As hosts, our excitement knows no bounds as we open our doors, eager to share the fruits of our labor with you. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and we kindly request that you share your positive experiences by leaving us a review after your stay. Your feedback not only fuels our enthusiasm but also helps future guests discover the joy awaiting them at Holly Hayes House. During your visit, our dedicated housekeeper is at your service. Feel free to reach out for any assistance you may require. We believe that a seamless and stress-free stay is essential for a truly memorable holiday, and we are committed to making that a reality for you.
