Beautiful setting at the end of a quarter mile driveway. Settled in a small valley, surrounded by pastures and the amazing garden around the old stone house. It was relaxing watching the sheep graze while eating lunch in the back garden.
The recently renovated space is open, bright and thoughtfully designed. It is like being transported back in time with modern amenities.
Nicola and Cormac are great hosts as well as being artists, musicians and gardeners. They helped me with enjoying the local artist festival in Mountshannon that is on the banks of the larges lake in Ireland. Wonderful experience listening to music in an ancient setting.
The Seed Savers Exchange of Ireland is a short drive away and Cormac helped me with my visit there. Not to be missed if you have an interest in horticulture or want to see amazing Vege gardening and fruit trees in a scenic hillside and valley. Wonderful work is being done there to preserve our ancestral varieties of food crops. Cormac also has a cool collection of grafted fruit trees in the back garden of the house.
Being invited in for conversation, tea and a snack before I head out made my visit most memorable.
I highly recommend staying here and immersing yourself in the area. Oh- don't miss Nuala's Pub just down the road in Tuamgraney......
