Linda and John’s little cottage was definitely our favorite stay on our trip! The cottage is cozy and feels like home! Take some time and walk the trail to the lake! Unfortunately, We didn’t have time for the longer trail to the top of the hill. Birr castle is very close and a must see. Pay a little extra for the castle tour and spend the day walking the magnificent gardens!! John invited us to the local horse races on Saturday, and we had planned to tour the castle and return for some of the races! The gardens at the castle kept us busy too long, and then we had some pints and delicious food at Kelly’s, another must!! We regret not making it back for the races and know it would have been a highlight of our trip!! John and Linda are wonderful hosts!!
