I booked at the very last minute, needing somewhere to stay as I was over for a family funeral (they happen quickly in dear old Eire). Despite not being there Liz accepted the booking and let us make ourselves at home in hers.

For obvious reasons we didn't spend so much time there, but, what time was spent was very comfortable and peaceful.

We were very lucky with the weather, it was mostly dry and Autumn was in full effect in Monaghan. The trees were on fire, all golden/yellow/red when the sun lit them from behind. Absolutely stunning. I wish we could have stayed longer.
