Our stay at the farmhouse was welcoming, clean, quiet, and restful. The house has some great history and the area is very rural and peaceful. After a full day of exploring the Irish countryside, it was great to come back to the farmhouse, light a wood/peat fire in the stove, and simply relax.
While the lodge isn't very convenient to the big tourist attractions in the area like Blarney or Bunratty Castles, its a very pleasant and scenic drive off the national roads to get to the lodge and well worth the extra time to get here.
We did day trips to Cliffs of Moher/Burren/Ennis, Limerick/Adare/Bunratty Castle, Blarney Castle/Cork, and the Ring of Kerry. A bit of driving in those four days but relaxing afterward at the lodge made the slightly more remote location worth it.
The owners, Sean and Monica, were especially gracious and provided us with information on local activities in the area that were memorable.
