The location is wonderful, a long time visitor to Mount Usher Gardens myself, I was delighted to be able to stay in the Walpole house with the most incredible view of the gardens from the huge bedroom windows, some beautiful, original portraits on the walls by a little known artist. Katherine was flexible (in our need to change at the last minute our arrival plans) and kind and thoughtful throughout our stay. The breakfast room opens out over the garden and the Vartry river runs through. A heron breakfasted in the river while we ate. Easily the most beautiful B and B in Ireland in my experience.
