As soon as we arrived we were welcomed and shown this beautiful property. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Great rocker for sitting to read but I really loved the outdoor spaces. Even a covered table and chairs ( it rains in Ireland- frequently, duh). Breakfast was very fine with cereals and fresh fruit, yogurt , coffee and tea. Lots of good art ( Declan is a good painter) and family photos make the home personal and social. The setting felt like the “ country” but it’s very near shopping and eating. Blarney is very close by with the castle and park as well as great Irish shopping. We felt welcomed and at ease. A taste of fine, genuine Irish hospitality.
