My flatmate and I were looking for a respite from London over the Christmas holiday. We certainly found it at Sam's farm. It really was everything we were looking for and more. It is absolutely beautiful even in the winter. The atmosphere is about as relaxing as it gets. The cottage was adorable and well stocked with all the toiletries you need and even fresh eggs for breakfast. There are horses, dogs and cats wondering about very willing to give you attention (Jack Sparrow the cat <3). Sam was so welcoming and responsive to any questions we had and gave amazing recommendations. The place is just as Sam describes and her pictures show. You will need a car for sure but the farm is pretty centrally located to a lot of places. You are basically 30mins to 2hrs from many of the towns south of Dublin. We flew into Dublin and it was under a 2hr easy drive from there. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat from the hectic or a peaceful place to write your memoirs this is the place for you. I will definitely be back next time I need to escape London. Thanks for everything Sam! Happy New Year!
