I would highly recommend Streamstown, it’s a lovely place perfect for large parties as it’s massive with many amenities on site. We were six adults, a small child and toddler, and a dog. The house was big enough to comfortably accommodate us all with plenty of room for the early risers not to disturb the later sleepers and vice versa. The kitchen was well equipped for home-cooked food, excellent for us as we ate in every night. There was plenty of indoor entertainment, with a piano, two TVs, some old-school video games and lots of books available.
Kids and grownups alike loved the tennis courts and the walks on the grounds. We had a paddle in the beautiful lake though the weather wasn’t quite enticing enough for swimming! There was plenty of toddler entertainment to be had from the sheep, cows, chickens and ducks. We were also able to make several day trips: the megalithic site at Lough Crew, Belvedere House & Gardens, and Fore Abbey were all within easy driving distance. Last but not least, John introduced us to his gorgeous dogs and adorable new pups.
John and Clarissa are lovely hosts and, again, the house is fabulous. Overall, a fun, family friendly spot well located for exploring. Don’t pass it up!
