Such a peaceful and restful location which is just what we wanted for our short break, nothing but the sound of the odd sheep baaing :) we stayed for two nights and felt like it had been longer, we left feeling refreshed.
The main house is beautiful, set in rolling countryside, the ajoining coach house is rustic and well appointed with comfortable beds, a good shower and fresh eggs from the resident hens. Everything you need.
We stayed with 3 children and they loved having the space to explore. There is a trampoline and tennis court which they loved.
We had great weather so got to paddle in the lake and walk up the hill spotting a donkey or two on the way. I imagine the house would also be lovely and cozy in winter with a fire lighting.
Great base to check out sone gems in Ireland's Ancient East including Tullynally Estate and Gardens, Loughcrew Neolithic cairns, Loughcrew gardens and adventure centre and Fore Abbey, fantastic for history/archaeology fans.
John was a lovely host, there when needed but also left us to enjoy the space in privacy, we were delighted to soend a few days sharing his idylic home.
