Staying in Tom's place was a very enjoyable experience. My fiancé and I were attending a wedding in Gloster House just outside Birr, so Tom's place was an ideal base for us for the weekend. We were running a bit late getting down for the wedding, so Tom very generously offered to drive us to the wedding at the drop of a hat, life saver! There's a pool table in the house, which was a real bonus for me.. his 8 yo twin sons taught me a thing or 2! The sitting area has a beautiful view out at the lovely countryside, a deck too with the same view. Tom and his family are lovely and really made us feel very welcome, I'd highly recommend.
