Sheona's apartment in Graigenamenagh is in a wonderful location. Located just beside the fairly-priced Waterside Restaurant & Café on the bank of the river running through the town, we felt we were the right distance away from everything the town had to offer. The apartment is located on the same street as a SuperValue supermarket across from which there is a lovely bar (The Duiske). Everyone we met was kind and eager to help us find the most interesting things to see in the area.
The apartment itself felt very spacious and homey, with extensive coffee and tea-making facilities. There were also plenty of cooking utensils as well as plates and glasses which the little dishwasher cleaned beautifully. The sofas are quite nice to lounge on (or read for a few hours), and the feather blankets made it so that my wife and daughters slept better than in almost any bed on our trips thus far.
Four kilometers away, there is a wonderful kayak tour you can take with as small or large of a group as you would like. The Waterside Inn and Restaurant/Café also rents out bicycles, with which you can ride along the river. While the things to see in the quaint little town are limited, we simply drove somewhere new almost every day and found that cities and other more bustling places were not too difficult to reach by car. Just a note: the roads in Ireland (not only in Graigenamenagh) are rather narrow, so when you rent a car, go for smaller rather than larger.
