Kathleen is an amazing hostess! I loved meeting her and her husband Andrew. Their house is gorgeous, as are their grounds, the stables, and their horses! Do not hesitate about staying with Kathleen! Her breakfasts were incredibly large and generous. She was incredibly kind to my toddler daughter and really took her into her house as her own. I felt at home there! I absolutely loved my stay at their house and would love to return to Croom to see them again! The town of Croom is wonderful. I was traveling with my toddler and the town had a fabulous playground, river walk and kid-friendly restaurants. It is such a beautiful area, with lakes and many beautiful farms. I loved driving around the area and seeing the nearby areas and cities of Killarney and Limerick! Definitely go to Killarney National Park - it is a must-see.
