We arrived at Alan’s place on a lovely sunny day, and instantly loved it. The panorama of lush green countryside was beautiful and we sat out on the large terrace to appreciate it. This was one of the most relaxing and tranquil places you couldn’t help but just wind down, sit and take in the glorious view. Alan showed us where we could follow a trail downhill to join the Barrow river walk, and we walked for an hour or so -again a very peaceful nature trail. In the evening we made use of the barbecue and dined al fresco. Everything about this home was stylish and thoughtful, the decor was nice and the bathroom in particular was great with a powerful shower. Alan had left us lots of food for breakfast - juice, milk, tea/coffee, bread, eggs, jams, butter, cereals/porridge. This was more than we’d ever seen in any Airbnb and very much appreciated. Alan could not have been more helpful for everything we asked about. We’d love to go back again and highly recommend this home, especially if you want to base yourself somewhere stylish and relaxing while you explore the lovely villages and towns and historic sites of Co. Carlow.
