This was without a doubt one of most memorable trips as a family - two adults, one four year old, one infant - we have ever taken. Not only was the house ("The Barn") amazing, but Michael and Eileen were fantastic hosts. We arrived very, very late and despite that we still had fresh milk and scones waiting for us. Michael gave us plenty of information about the local area - a very rural, pleasant section of County Cork right by Cork City and Kinsale - but more importantly gave our son the opportunity to see cows being milked and even helped collect chicken eggs. The house has all the amenities you would need, and we were able to cook a few meals for ourselves. The house and location provided the rest and relaxation (and space!) for my wife and I, as well as plenty of fun opportunities for our son. I think we would go out of our way to stay here again if given a chance.
