The entry - at night, in the rain and the fog - through the gates and the woods, down the windy lane, may be the opening to Ruth Ware's In a Dark Dark Wood...until you're greeted by lovely Nicola and a snuggle of friendly dogs. Their home is amazing- steeped with history and curiosities. It's hard to describe what an amazing experience it is - from the fireplaces to ping pong to cool rooms with electric blankets to breakfast and a history lesson with Durcan. We'd come back here first over anywhere in our Ireland travels
