This house was above and beyond what we were hoping for! Firstly, the host Nigel was always very helpful and gave us lots of suggestions for activities to do in the surrounding areas and where to get food and to shop. The house was very clean and tidy and he had left some essentials such as milk and bagels for us to use, as well as plenty of firewood and briquettes for the stove.
The house itself feels very homely and modern at the same time, the kitchen and sitting room/dining room area downstairs is semi open plan but also very warm. Plenty of entertainment between the huge TV and the record player and speakers, everything was setup and easy to use with a good selection of movies and records to choose from. The main bedroom was very comfortable and warm, and the second bedroom looked very comfortable too. And I have to mention the amazing bathroom downstairs also, the pictures online don't do it justice!
The location is great and we did several different day trips during our stay. Lough key Forest park is nearby and has lots of great walks and many different activities to keep everyone entertained. There is lots of walking tours nearby too and we walked up part of a nearby mountain, Sliabh an Iarainn, and got some amazing views of the surrounding areas. We also drove up to Fermanagh to visit the marble arch caves and walk the Cuilcagh Legnabrocky trail. I would highly recommend doing both of these and the drive was less than an hour from the house. And on our last day we visited the arigna mining experience, a 5 minute drive from the house. The tour guides had all worked in the mine before it closed and our guide was equally entertaining and insightful when telling stories from his time in the mines and from generations before him. Definitely with the visit!
We loved everything about our stay and would recommend it to anyone, and we hope to visit again in the future!
