Beechmont House is definitely worth to go!!! The house has a wonderful charme and Paula and Eric are absolutely gorgeous hosts.
The house was very clean and Paula & Eric took care about all needs we had.
The breakfast was rich and way more than we could manage to eat.
My daughter and I enjoyed the walk around the stables and see all the great racehorses and even so the dogs that were very friendly.
I can not say much about the area because we just made a quick stopover in Rathkeale. The dinner we had in Rathkeale Hotel was very good and that's all we saw. ;-)
At least I would highly recommend house and hosts.
If you be in the area go to Beechmont House. You will not regret!!! :-))
