My family of five adults had the best three days at Tom's farmhouse. I can't say enough how wonderful it was. Although we didn't meet them, both Tom and his caretaker Hugh were kind and very responsive to questions. The home itself is charming, with lovely quirks yet all the modern amenities. For example, although there was only one shower, the water was always hot and had great pressure-a must have after getting caught in one of those unexpected Irish storms. We loved having a fully functional kitchen-we saved a lot of money by cooking at home for much of our stay. As for activities, we spent a day staying in the home, playing games and reading in front of the fireplace; a day exploring the area, including the cute town of Cahersiveen (loved the food at QC's) and the nearby stone forts; and a day on Valentia Island (amazing, unrivaled views). And of course we can't forget the multiple times we visited Ballycarbery Castle, right in the backyard of the farmhouse. We felt like it was our very own. In sum, we give our highest recommendation to Tom, Hugh, and the farmhouse. Hope we can come back one day!
