DavidUnited KingdomWonderful, peaceful stay. Thank you
It was perfect for our family trip of adults. It had all we could ask for and more. Marjorie and her husband responded to all our questions (even the silly ones). Highly recommend for anyone.

Good location, very quiet. Bedrooms comfortable. Bathrooms good with mats and lots of towels. Kitchen well equipped. Living room good. Easy parking with friendly donkeys and cows.

Emplacement dans la jolie campagne irlandaise. La maison était prête à notre arrivée et les instructions de l'hôtesse étaient précises pour accéder au logement
Nous n'avons pas vécu de mauvaise surprise...

We loved the peace and quiet. The house was very clean and comfortable and warm. It is nicely decorated and we felt totally at home there.

KathrynCanadaA perfect place for a small, or even large group.
This was a lovely stand alone farmhouse that was perfect for our three day stay in the area. The ability to self cater breakfast and dinner was wonderful.
