I have just got back from a stay at the Elbow Room and I cannot praise it enough. I organised a hen weekend to Ireland and the venue was just perfect.
From the very outset Amanda who I was communicating with was so helpful. Very prompt responses to my never ending questions. She helped me organise transport, afternoon tea as well as an Irish band for the evening that were just fantastic. On arrival we were greeted by Karen who really made our stay pleasant. She was so friendly and helpful we couldn’t have asked for a better host. She told us to pick our rooms and to then meet in the lodge for a quick introduction and to go over the days events. When we arrived at the lodge there were 2 charcuterie boards set out with delicious meats cheeses grapes bread and preserves as well as a welcome glass of fizz. She brought the gardener along who gave us some information on the land and then a tour of the gardens which was really interesting. We then had afternoon tea which was set up in the main room and the table looked fabulous and the food was great.
We spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out in the hot tub and around the grounds. Karen even helped cook the chilli that we had brought for the evening. The weather was perfect and the band set up outside where we also had the food and drinks. It was a perfect night. Karen stayed until the band was set up and even sang a song before heading off and leaving us to our evening. We took the party back into the main room around 11pm which was a perfect size.
The beds are comfy and we all slept well and went for a walk in the mountains the following morning which were beautiful.
We only stayed one night as spent one night in Dublin but we all said we wished we had stayed both nights at the house.
Thank you to both Amanda and Karen for everything. I cannot wait to go back with another group 😀
