Beautiful country side
The grounds are beautiful, finding it was easy with the sat nav coordinates. Super reasonably priced and a good central location to sightseeing in Southern Ireland. Everything was an hour or less away.

Tape à l'œil
Heureusement que le jardinier était présent au moment de notre arrivée pour trouver la boîte à clés et nous dire que le portail ne fonctionnait pas.
Propreté laissant à désirer. Pas de chauffage. Chasse d'eau compliquée. Une seule douche utilisable.
Contrairement à ce que laissent espérer les photos, c'est une vieille maison .
Par contre, le parc est magnifique.

Ireland trip
Lovely place to stay but the place is looking a bit tired.
Had problems with the hot water not working to start off with. Lacking the basic welcome items ie said there would be milk coffee and tea etc. No milk no coffee just tea. Instruction of how to get there very in accurate but lucky a very friendly local showed us where we had to go.
But we did enjoy our stay very much

Secluded Irish paradise
Lots of space. Beautiful grounds. Great hot water and water pressure. Well stocked kitchen. Fun entertainment options such as extensive audio and video library. Great location for touring southeast Ireland. Only downside: difficult to find (must use satnav coordinates) - must turn at the brown fence and THEN go 200 meters to the green fence on the right.
