Herd House is a little gem in the countryside of Roscommon. If you want to get away from city hassle without being too far away from civilization, this is the place for you. 20 Minutes to Roscommon town with Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi and Lidle, as well as other great opportunities to shop and spend your time (even a multiplex), 10 miuntes to Strokestown where you can buy everything you need as well, just on a smaller scale. Rathcroghan with lots to discover concerning history and mythology is also just 20 minutes away. Boyle about 35 minutes and Castlebaldwin with the Carrowkeel mount about 50. You can also reach the Caves of Keash easily within the same time. Great places to visit.
Noel and Lynda are two absolutely great hosts, relaxed and very warm and welcoming and at the same time very highly respecting and valuing your privacy. Lovely people! It was a totally uncomplicated stay. No problems at all! If any problem were to occur they are a four-minute walk away. Make sure you'll be nice to Bubbles. She is just adorable!!!!
I would definitely book the house again and at any time and will as soon as I have the opportunity to go to Ireland again. Thank you, thank you thank you!
