I don’t even know where to begin and could honestly tear up thinking about how happy my husband and I were to have met Veronica and her family, and find this most special place in Ireland.
We stayed in three different areas of Ireland during our 8-day trip, but these three nights were the best we’ve had in years.
Being greeted by Veronica and her amazing energy on night one (late at night which she didn’t even mind, might I add) was the perfect start. She introduced us to the NEW HOUSE and alerted us that we were the first guests ever to get to stay in it (double booking upgrade!)
Highlights:
1) The family. Oh my god. What a treat. The kids, the dogs, the horses, Veronica and Morris. Everyone. Absolutely amazing. To have conversations throughout their regular weekdays with us and share stories and information with a smile, we couldn’t get enough.
2) The property. The views. The fact that you’re allowed and encouraged to wander the property and check everything out as if you live there. So amazing.
3) The location. We got to journey to the downtown of Cork, the amazing tiny city of Clonakilty, AND the gourmet restaurant hub seaside town of Kinsale multiple times in our three days so easily. Kinsale is only 15 mins away! Check out the coffee shop 2 min drive away as well - Priory. So so delicious and perfect.
When my husband and I left this property for Dublin we were filled with regret – and even on our way home to the US right now we wish we would have foregone Dublin altogether and stayed here the entire rest of our trip.
Do not look any further. This is your best bet for an Irish family getaway.
PS. We got to witness the literal birthday of a baby alpaca. How can you top that?! ❤️
