An amazing escape from the plugged-in society of today. Very few left of these "Walden" type escapes. It was absolutely lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The recommended hikes are better than they describe and we did the hike when Tropical Storm Ernesto was just hitting Ireland. So we smiled through lashing winds and climbed to the top to see the beautiful lake behind their lovely cottage. This was one of the best experiences we have had a in a long time. The tranquility is something many look for, but few will ever find. Combine that with a lovely kitchen, a small wood burning stove and a few books to peruse (we also brought our own), and no TV so you can visit and relax and wander and let your mind float to times of yesteryear.
