Myself and three friends were looking for the ideal base to climb Carrauntoohill, and this house was absolutely perfect! The check-in process was very easy - go to the neighbouring tea rooms, ask for Esther, and she provides the codes for parking and the lockbox for the house. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with modern fixtures yet still retained its country charm. The surroundings were idyllic, with a particularly cute goat called lucky who had just recently made the farm his home :) John was so friendly and helpful and I look forward to staying there again.
