We brought two families together for a week including some young children and had a fabulous week in the house. The views are spectacular as you look out across the lake towards the Wicklow mountains. The pictures really don't do the house justify - it is finished to a very high standard throughout and feels very luxurious. Having a gated garden was also great for peace of mind and being able to allow the children to run around the garden and enjoy themselves. Thoroughly recommended and one of the best houses I've ever stayed in.
