Carmel and her family go over the top to make your stay wonderful. We only stayed 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer! Carmel & her family went over the top to provide a warm, fun, & personalized stay for our family of 12. We were greeted with a personal welcome card, roses, wine & cookies. When we looked around & found they had toothbrushes, robes & toiltries in each of the 7 bathrooms for us plus a travel guidebook for our use. Carmel took our grand-daughter horseback riding, she & her family visited one evening & made us traditional Irish coffee & apple tarts and even entertained us by singing us a couple songs! The refrigerator was stocked with plentiful food choices & the house was in spectacular order. Carmel even took us on a personal 2hr tour of the area customizing the spots of interest to our interests (no additional fee for the tour). We can't say enough about this wonderful host, her family, & home. Everyone of our party ages 13 - 65 thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Clonkill Manor.
