What a magical place to get away from it all while exploring Ireland! Perched above the Blackwater, this lovely mansion is filled with rich history. Barbara is a gracious hostess, she greeted us upon arrival and was just next door if we had any questions. We had fresh eggs from the chickens and the kitchen has all the basic necessities (pots/pans/silverware/dishes etc). I was glad for the hair dryer too, as I didn't travel with one from the States. Our family of four stayed here and it was the perfect spot for exploring the beautiful countryside. We would highly recommend staying here if you can. Thank you Barbara!
