Our family of 7 traveled to Ireland at the beginning of August. We stayed at Carole's place for one week after arriving in Dublin. We rented a car and traveled to the house via major highways and some lovely, winding country roads. It took us approximately 3 hours. The home is set in beautiful park like surroundings with five bedrooms and the three bathrooms/showers. I think that the kitchen is truly the heart of this home. It's huge with a large center island and a long kitchen table that easily accommodated our group. We gathered there every day for meals and for planning our excursions. The view from the large picture window in the kitchen is gorgeous.
Most of the places we wanted to see were within one hour drive. The local town is about 10 - 15 minutes away by car and is delightful. We found two grocery stores, a couple of nice pubs, and several places to dine in or take out food. In the evenings we were able to access Netflicks and other entertainment platforms on the large screen television. All in all, we were very satisfied with our home away from home.
