On our second visit to the Ballincord house we had so much fun learning about the history of the family and property. The house is beautifully appointed and Irene and Dave are very welcoming and accommodating. We loved taking a tour of the property - seeing the "new" woods and old ruins. Dogs, Benny and Bruce were good company as we meandered around the land. And it was fun to meet up with Eddie the donkey as well. The apartment (as mentioned in a previous review) was very private and cozy. We loved relaxing by the fireplace late at night. We will definitely miss our new friends.
