We stayed at Irene and Dave’s place in order to attend a wedding in nearby Kinnitty. When we arrived, we couldn’t have imagined how beautiful Ballincard House would be: the expansive grounds with the stone ruins of the old farmstead, the vines against the house with their leaves turning red for fall, and the charming menagerie of animals (the kittens, the dogs, and Eddie the donkey). Dave gave us a little tour of the grounds, telling us little bits of history. The little kitchen in our AirBnb had marmalade, butter, and bread (we end up finishing the bread because it was so delicious) for us weary travelers. We even ended up picking apples from their garden! Our visit felt so short and we hope to return one day.
