A beautiful place in a beautiful area, but the Irish weather let us down !!
Pros:

We loved everything about this accomodation. If only the weather was better for us we would have enjoyed the walks to and from the village, however, Storm Erin hit us like a ton of Bricks !!

Cons:

There were flies in the living/kitchen area, but no Fly Spray to use. There was no Spatula for the Frying Pan. Trying to get a taxi was a nightmare. To and from the village. Only for the very friendly Bar staff in the local pubs we would have had to walk home late at night in the pouring rain. Other than that we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Amazing family event property
Pros:

We had my sister's 50th birthday with family and friends, we had 20 people, we booked the whole house. The facilities are just fabulous with bar, pool room, dining hall. We had ages 17 to 80 and all loved it, rooms are spacious and spotless. We brought our own drinks and food, There were little things like musty odors, but disapated once we ventaled the rooms, it was early in the season so probably not used much over winter months. Overall fabulous and would recommend
