We wanted an authentic Irish countryside experience...and we got it! The photo of the magnificent estate drew us in, yet the friendly family and clean accommodations made us want to stay longer than one evening. Best shower in all of Ireland (good pressure, hot water, removable shower head, and a rainfall shower head), and we had a whole sitting room (with fireplace, TV, and books) to ourselves. The weather was chilly upon our arrival, and the heat needed to be turned on in our room, but once it warmed up, we were happy and comfortable. I enjoyed closing the bedroom's period-style window shutters before retiring -- really took me back in time. The home is a piece of history, which represents three separate time periods, as far back as the mid 1700s, with the AirBnb accommodations renovated for today's comfort. Wished we could have viewed the Norman castle ruins on the property, but the grass was too overgrown -- maybe next time! The home is just 1.5 miles from the well-stocked town of Ballymahon, where we ate dinner at "9 Arches" (thanks for the recommendation, Loretta) which was one of the best dining experiences we had in Ireland (the chef accommodated our vegetarian and vegan wishes), with a super friendly wait staff. Overall, this was a wonderful countryside experience!!!
