Margo agreed to come and open the mill for us when we rang upon arrival. Margo was there before we had organised our bags out of the car. Our first and lasting impressions was the seclusion, peace and tranquility of the mill environment. It was a great location to stay and travel around the south east of Ireland. 3 of our children came and stayed some of the nights while we were there. Our son brought his 2 year old daughter and there were stair guards on the the stairs. We were grateful for Margo's thoughtfulness in providing a coloring book and pencils. The kitchen and sitting room provided a spacious and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy their company. Mooncoin shopping center had all the food we needed to buy and it was just a few minutes away. There was a small sun room of the kitchen which we found useful to set up our computer using our own wifi modem. When not using this room we could shut the door. Two bedrooms were en-suited and the third shared the upstairs en-suite. This was fine because we were family. The powder room on the main floor was was great. We didn't use the pool table but it is good concept.
The history of the building, its restoration and conversion to a house was fascinating. We had an interesting conversation with Margo, Eamon and their children about farming in Ireland, very different to Australia. We appreciated the an insight into Irish farming practices.
We all loved staying at the Mill.
