Our stay at the Gate Lodge was very relaxing and we enjoyed the quiet, country setting; the well maintained gardens on the property were enjoyable to stroll through and the hospitality of our hosts (Nuala, Hugh and their loveable St Bernard Kaiser) was so very much appreciated. We experienced the friendly people of Ireland that so many talk about. We were a few miles out of the nearby town(s), so you will need a car/vehicle. Besides Kaiser, expect to see other animals around the nearby countryside. Great place for those who love a rural setting with friendly neighbors down the road.
