If you want some quiet solitude in a lovely setting in the countryside of Ireland you can't do better than Ben and Vanessa's place on Tara Hill. The space you'll be staying in has all the amenities you'll need and the beach is a 10 - 15 minute walk from your door.
When I arrived Ben met me and showed me around the property, I felt very much at home. The houses are surrounded by old stone walls and nicely updated and maintained farm buildings. Everything looks like it just had a fresh coat of paint. Getting in and out of the gates is easy as Ben has set up a dial-in number, it worked flawlessly for me. Inside the building you have a full kitchen, a washer/drier, TV and DVD's, and a lot of really great books. I slept like a rock listening to the rain the first night I arrived and woke my last morning to a view of the sunrise across the Irish Sea.
I will definitely be coming back to Tara Hill Lodge when I'm in Ireland again.
