My husband and I stayed for one night at Bookeen Hall, which was definitely one of the highlights of my first trip to Ireland. Not only were our hosts very welcoming, but I also appreciated that Chris was very prompt in responding to messages (and proactive about sending information our way regarding our stay.)

Missing our own dogs, I was eager to get some snuggle time in with Mouse and Monkey. Let's just say they did not disappoint. These dogs are absolutely beautiful and so well behaved. Our hosts were definitely careful about making sure we were comfortable with the dogs and did not just "let them loose," which was above and beyond necessary since we were guests in their home.

Do not second guess your decision to stay here. This is an absolutely beautiful, one-of-a-kind location you will not regret. I will recommend it to any family and friends who plan to visit Ireland in the future.

Also, let's talk food: Be sure to trust Chris on his dinner recommendations. Also, the breakfast that was prepared by our hosts was a "lovely" surprise...and delicious!
