My partner & I isolated here for 2 weeks following a return from the USA. With very little notice Mary Kates mother Maura gave us a wonderful socially distant welcome with tart, scones and wine, which was truly appreciated.
The cottage itself is brighter than appears in the photos and is tastefully decorated. It is a perfectly matched hybrid of old world style with modern finishes. The beds are comfy and have electric blankets. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a cosy living area with stove, TV and even a rocking chair! The cottage is very warm, and if you do need to turn the central heating on it heats up quickly and retains the heat well. There is a large courtyard separating the cottage from the main house so you truly feel like you have your own little haven. The driveway was lovely for a morning stroll.The back area is wonderful, to either enjoy a coffee or glass of wine while watching the swallows fly around. I would highly recommend Parkstown Lodge.
