The Donaguile House is an absolute treasure and exceeded our expectations (which were certainly high after seeing the pictures and previous reviews). Our extended family, group of 11 with ages from 6 to 76 spent the week in the magnificent home and it met our every need. Jane's attention to detail made time spent there a delight for your senses - the artwork, interesting books, fresh flowers, beautiful scents, starter supplies, comfortable linens, charming plates/cups, and gorgeous landscaping. My sister just sent me a note that said "The home you rented was the most charming, beautiful, peaceful place on earth. Good for the soul." She said it well. Also, for the location - just perfect! We loved Castlecomer - the restaurants, pubs, friendly locals, and Discovery Park all in walking distance. It was a great place to explore Ireland from. We took our rental cars to Killkenny, Waterford, Cliffs of Mohr, Dingle, and Dublin. It was a trip of a lifetime for our group and our stay at Donaguile House was perfection!
