A gorgeous house only five minutes' walk from Donadea Forest. The place has lots of character and charm, yet is also modernised to an exceptionally high standard - with conveniences like underfloor-heating and an extremely generous bathroom with large tub and separate shower. The living space is its own self-contained unit off the main house where the owners live with their family, and has it's own private garden. The space could very comfortably accommodate up to 5 people with two large bedrooms and a decent living/dining space.
We stayed for a week while we were waiting for our new house to be finished and it turned into an unexpected holiday. The weather was fine so we spent a lot of time walking around Donadea forest enjoying the tranquillity and taking photos of trees and bluebells. Elita and Simon were exceptional hosts who made us feel very welcome - even inviting us for a Guinness in their little 'surprise' area out the back, which was great fun. To top it all off we made a friend-for-life with Bella, perhaps the world's friendliest German Shepherd who came to visit us several times a day (if you're scared of dogs don't worry - she is as nice as pie and kept safely behind a fence and gate, though we let her through to hang out with us because we couldn't resist her charms!).
If you're visiting Ireland's Ancient East for a few days this could be the best kept secret there - a super jumping-off point for all the nearby attractions and a peaceful oasis to enjoy your stay. Book today!
