If you want a magical, rural, quiet, stay off the grid, there is no better place. You can walk into Lismore and the Castle gardens, walk to the swimming spot in the river and to the restaurants and pubs. The swallows and butterflies are everywhere and you can spend some time with the hens. Caroline is the best of hosts, and will give you all the information you need for your stay and then some.
It was hard to leave! We loved it.
