The farmhouse is a storybook home to rent. The host meets you, instructs you on all you need to know with quick wit and good humour. The gardens are abundant and amazingly varied from Roses to fuchsia to holly bushes to a fruit tree orchard to giant tropical plants. Days spent exploring the rural, natural landscape, nights spent by the fireplace, wood burning stove or classic Stanley stove reading of of the many good books on offer. The farmhouse was the dream stay of our Irish trip.
