Duncan and Nicola were absolutely wonderful! We were greeted by a charming committee of dogs (five of them!) who each welcomed us in their customary canine style. Duncan took us right in and gave a little tour of the impressive interior. The estate is filled with historical oohs and aahs and can keep a visitor busy simply by touring the intricacies of its rooms. But the outside is also a complete delight! My mother and I had a great time walking around the property and playing fetch with Willy, Holly and Pluto (a few of the dogs). Even though Nicola had a weekend class that took up her days, she made time to sit and chat for a bit in the evening. You will not find a kinder host! The beds were comfy, and we feasted on a delicious Irish breakfast that was made for us the next morning by Duncan (who has a wonderfully dry sense of humor).

If you have a fondness for quirky spaces, enchanting scenery, and adorably sweet dogs this is the place to visit!
