We really enjoyed our stay at this unusual house. Don't be put off by the exterior -- it could do with a lick of paint and the grounds tidied up a bit. But inside is like another house. It's full of really interesting design features -- a fireplace inserted into a beautifully exposed original stone wall, a very large bathroom with a clawfoot bathtub right in the middle, a rough-hewn wooden kitchen countertop, and more. The house was very comfortable and there were nice welcoming touches -- milk, butter, eggs and bagels in the fridge, the aforementioned fireplace set and ready to be lit. The wifi was fast and there was surprisingly good water pressure for such an old house. The pictures shown on the listing are accurate and didn't even include another great feature, the large outdoors area in the back with tables and chairs where guests can eat and socialise. We took Nigel up on some of his recommendations. The Miners Bar (good food and Guinness), the Arigna Mining Experience and a really delicious meal at the Oarsman in Carrick-on-Shannon. I'd recommend this house for anyone visiting the area.
