This place really is magical. Even though there are other houses around, you feel completely removed and relaxed as you sit in front of the wood fire in the perfect quiet. It’s probably cosiest place we have ever been! The lake would be beautiful in nice weather but has a rugged beauty even on a grey and windy day such as we had. Athlone town is a bit of a hike from here but Yasmin was happy to give us a lift, and her helpful suggestions as to other places we should check out have given us many more ideas about our trip. Thank you so much for having us!
