This is a wonder find - I didn't think such peace and quiet still existed in rural Ireland. Imagine being able to travel 18km without seeing a single house?? And on lovely deserted roads too. We stayed in the Shepherds Cottage, a wonderfully refurbished stone cottage with open fire Surrounded by bog and trees, the only sound at night was the deer 'barking' outside the house. Sinead and Bernhardt have though of everything a holiday maker might need including the wonderful welcome pack of fresh vegetables, eggs and kindling for the fire. It is tastefully furnished in keeping with its age and I particularly liked to attic bedrooms with their long sloping ceilings and end windows. Books, games and DVDs are all provided for rainy days. A short walk is the wonderful lake with its boathouse and small sandy beach.. NO WIFI - well just walk up the lane to get the signal - great to be removed from the outside world for the week!
Our hosts Sinead and Bernhardt were so warm, welcoming and keen that we enjoy all that the farm and the area had to offer. I'd highly recommend it for a get away from it all break...we'll definitely be back again.
