We spend last New Years weekend at Mark's place, it's very well situated only 40min highway ride from Dublin.
Mark is a very friendly host and made us feel very welcome at his house. It was a pleasure meeting him.
House itself is big and very spacious especially the function room with huge fire place. Good place to chill or party. There were plenty of bedrooms and beds to sleep for everyone. Fresh towels and bed sheets were awaiting the guests. Something to note - house would do with some basic renovations, nothing major just little things like fresh paint, carpets etc. Other than that we really enjoy our stay at Mark's place.
