What an incredible experience. This was the last stay of our 10 day road trip across Ireland, and this was my favorite. What you’ll first notice, even online, is that this is a huge beautiful estate. It’s an amazing opportunity to spend the night in a beautifully restored manor house, not unlike others around Ireland that you might spend €10 just to tour on a sightseeing trip. What is less obvious at first, but what became the highlight of the stay were actually our hosts. They gently and kindly work to make sure your entire experience, from when you walk in the front door, to touring the shared living spaces, to breakfast fit for a king is both wonderful and relaxing.
Our room was stately, and bathroom was very comfortable for a multi-hundred year old building. The fireplaces ranged from quaint to magnificent, and since our visit was in late November we were very grateful for their presence. Breakfast was more of an event than any other day I spend in Ireland. Do not rob yourself by departing the AirBnB too early. Show up at prime time (around 9:00) and hear guests at 4 socially distanced tables speak in 4 different languages as you watch the sun come up over an emerald field where sheep and cattle dine. The star of the show was Denis, our host, who happily attended to us over breakfast and made me feel completely at home in an environment completely foreign to me.
