To those of you who would like to have a very unique experience go to " Crow's Hermitage" it is a place you will never forget. The beautiful ancient stone walls, the setting- in the shadow of the ruins of an ancient monastery will blow your mind.
The history of the area near Tara, the seat of the ancient High Kings of Ireland, is truly
unforgettable. The house is amazing, comfortable, clean and the fireplace romantic.
When you walk down the country lanes the green hills of Ireland welcome you and if they dont, you might be welcomed by some cows or a flock of sheep owned by some local farmer. In the Autumn when the leaves have left the trees all that remain are families of crows and magpies which give a unique feel to the area. Alfred Hitchcock would love it.
Your host Colm is great , we went with him one night to the local Pub, where he, along with several other local musicians gathered for a " Jam Session " which was fantastic not to mention the one, two or three pints of Guinness that were consumed, ( I can't count past three) there may have been more, however you can walk home right across the street.
The characters in the Pub were interesting to say the least every second one named Tony,
they welcomed us in with open arms especially my wife who loved the attention !! The name of the pub is" Bennetts " of Ardcath. The bartender Chris is great.
In closing do not miss this great opportunity to be close to nature and a great pub, have a pint for me when you get there and remember there are two kinds of people those who are Irish and those who wish they were, and you will be Irish for your stay no doubt about it, So travel well, be safe and let the winds drive you in the right direction, if you get lost
enjoy the experience as there is no other like it.
