Rose was a very kind and attentive host, making sure we were as comfortable as possible. The bed was very comfortable and perhaps larger than it appears in the photos. Rose provided us with great options for breakfast foods and offered us good suggestions for dinner as well as the nearby castle at Duckett's Grove (worth the stop if you have a car). An extra bonus was Rose's sweet dog, Lady. I would definitely recommend Rose's property if you are in the Carlow area or if you are on the way between Kilkenny and Dublin.
