This was by far the best airbnb experience I've ever had in 5 years and also the first time an airbnb has well exceeded my expectations. The photos don't do this place justice.
We were there for a wedding at Castle Leslie, so staying on the estate itself was an extra treat. Upon arrival we were brought up to the house and given plenty of wood and briquettes for the fire. The massive open fireplace itself is a reason alone to stay here and trust me, you wont want to leave because of it either. The kitchen was a trip down memory lane for me as it reminded me of my grandmothers house, only this kitchen is equipped with all the mod cons while keeping its cosy/homely old Irish kitchen atmosphere.
We brought food with us to cook and I can only recommend you do the same to get the full experience of the house. Sitting by the fire with a glass of wine and some food, and you'll quickly realise you made the right decision.
The house put a huge smile on our faces but what blew us away was the surrounding landscape. The house is nestled away in a forrest yet has a massive garden area with lots of natural light coming in from all sides. Walk down the garden and you'll find yourself at a small lake, which you can walk around in about 15 mins. We didn't meet a single person on our walk and it felt like we were on our own little estate for the weekend! The silence was rare, especially coming from a city. The perfect getaway to relax, unwind and get out into nature.
Can't recommend Will's place enough and we're already planning when we can get back to enjoy this home with friends again.
