Come here for the breakfast! Omg the coffee, the crispy croissant, the homemade granola, the grilled on-the-vine tomatoes that come with the full Irish breakfast! Katherine went above and beyond as a host, offering tea and coffee, stoking the living room fire for my mom who gets chilly. The country location is nice and peaceful, but I was a little disappointed the main street around the lake is narrow and busy, not a good place for a walk or run. I guess this is common in Ireland, but I was hoping for a walk by the lake. I appreciated the common room & its supply of books. I read up on flowers and gardening in time for our visit to beautiful powerscourt gardens (1 hr away) which I recommend. I also recommend glendalough monasterie, collocated with many national park hikes.
