The round earth house was stunning and quite a close to Earth magical place. One of the highlights of our time there was the sight of a fox in the yard! There were quite a few insects at night but no problems with them during the day. The house itself was just incredible with craftsman design and a wonderful bathtub. The area outside was pleasant for the children to run around and for us to relax in the porch swing. The nearby down of Stradbally was a bit dumpy but we had a very enjoyable excursion to Kilkenny castle which was about a 45 minute drive.
