Fabulous place to stay especially if you like quiet, nature and the smell of the country. Great views and beautiful surroundings with the sounds of nature including water flowing, birds singing, horses neighing and sheep calling each other. The Arboretum is just up the road for great food and some shopping therapy with fab walks along the Barrow just around the corner. Carlow and Kilkenny are but a stone throw away so although you are in the middle of the countryside you are not a million miles away from some great tourist attractions
