Perfect pastoral setting, lovely view, lovely helpful friendly hosts with fun animals. Archie, the most enthusiastic dog ever, the adorable alpacas and the feisty mini sheep, made for an extra special stay. We would have probably gone back to Kilkenny until James told us about Haywood Garden, near by and perfect spot to wander the garden and take a wooded hike. And Bowes restaurant in Darrow… wonderful food !
