We had a fantastic time at Alan's place. Alan is a marvellous host. The apartment is so clean, stylish and, in short, perfect. The grounds of the property are amazing and every time we walked around them we found something new to admire. Carlow is a brilliant county for tourists - so much to see and do - we visited Altamont Gardens, Duckett's Grove, the Delta Gardens, Jerpoint Abbey, Mount Juliet, Huntington Castle and the lovely surrounding villages - all fantastic. However, our most enduring memories will be sitting on the patio and admiring the glorious views while watching the bees on the lavender and the other flowers during the day and watching the swallows and the sunset in the evening, walking along the Barrow and just having a wonderfully relaxing time. Thanks again Alan and Family- we'll be back.
