We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Duncan and Rhona’s farmhouse. It is a beautifully renovated house with plenty of space for our family of five yet warmly and cozily decorated. The bedrooms and bathrooms are super luxurious!
The children had lots of space to run and play on the huge lawn and loved feeding the chickens and petting the cows and sheep in the adjoining field across the old stone wall.
We took a stroll to nearby Balrath lake for some fishing and took a longer walk one evening to the larger Corstown lake further up the road. The location is really beautiful - lush green fields and rolling hills and only a short spin from Dublin!
We also paid a visit to Dún Na Rí forest park and did the stunning ‘River Walk’ and then drove on to the seaside town of Blackrock for fish and chips in the promenade.
There is plenty to see and do nearby but we could have easily been happy to stay put and relax and enjoy the comfort of Darley Grange. Hopefully we can visit again another time!
