We had a wonderful stay in the Roost! We were delayed and didn't arrive until quite late that rainy eve (greeted by friendly Gibbs!) but Ute had the stove going, so we were cosy from the moment we opened the door. Ute is so warm and friendly, we loved chatting and learning from her. You can see chickens happily wandering and scratching from the kitchen window as you sip your tea from the most beautiful handmade mugs. The ingenuity and beauty of the wooden fittings is just amazing. I was skeptical of the tiny oven but it actually worked amazingly well! The Roost and surrounding gardens are so peaceful and lovely. Kilmacduagh Monastery is literally five minutes away, but we were visiting friends so unfortunately didn't do too much sightseeing - but we would happily return to Ute's when we have the weather for it! We didn't use the sauna because I am expecting, but will hopefully return someday and get the full experience :) PS don't bring eggs, you will get the most delicious organics!!
