Nicola and Durcan are wonderfully warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed staying in such a stately building with Durcan's many ancestors watching the proceedings over the centuries. Their house has a central accessible access in Sligo county. We were given Durcan's mother's room (also a New Zealander I learnt). Her room is magnificently spacious and elegant, with gorgeous wall paper and a fantastic view over the sheep in the paddocks, the woods and the rolling hills to the south, so its a sunny space. The house was surprisingly warm, not only in the games room where Durcan lit the fire but in all the other rooms we frequented. Nicola cooked us a full irish breakfast which was more than sufficient for the day. She was very gracious, open and conversational. It was a pleasure to meet her and her husband and have some insight into a grand home.
thank you!
