Where do I begin. The Millbank Cottage is simply majestic. It is situated just outside the lovely town of Mountrath, Co. Laois. It is little over an hour away from Dublin Airport.
We were welcomed by Bridget and Pauric when we arrived. They had picked up groceries for us and gave us a tour of the home and property. We were speechless. The pictures do not do this place justice! The kitchen, dining room, and family room are all open concept and a great place to gather as a family. The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable. We were able to enjoy the pool, sauna, and steam room every night. We enjoyed walking the grounds and exploring the cute town of Mountrath.
We had our wedding ceremony on the grounds with a fire going in the fire pit. The stone walk way served as the isle my father walked me down. The bagpiper got the attention of all the cows in the field next to the property and we could hear them "moo" during the ceremony. The local priest came by every day to meet with us and give us a blessing. It was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. Simply picturesque!
This place is magical. Thank you Pauric, Bridget and the rest of the Millbank crew for an unforgettable trip to Ireland.
