After a most dangerous journey on the R345 - try to avoid this road if you’re travelling on foot! - we arrived in the quiet town of Clonbur, with the help of a kind cab driver. At Clonbur House, we were greeted by our host Hugh, who showed us to our clean and well-equipped apartment, and gave us a lay of the land, providing all the information we’d ever need during our stay. Although the double bed was a bit small for two adults, we always had a good night’s rest, which is surely needed if you want to explore the astounding nature surrounding Clonbur, and to wind down with a lovely pint in one of the local pubs! Hugh was a wonderful host, regularly checking to see if all was well - which it always was - and even taking time to show us around, from the splendid Ashford Castle to his very own farm! We were even lucky enough to accompany him to the sheep mart, where he explained the farmer’s trade.
In short, we had an amazing time in a stunning country, under the care of a great host! We couldn’t recommend it more!
