We had a fantastic night staying at Carmel's house while we attended a Downton Abbey themed evening nearby in Mullingar town. The house is really big. There were 13 of us and we had plenty of space! Each of the six bedrooms even has its own ensuite too, so all 13 of us could get ready to go out without any queuing for showers!

The beds were also very comfortable and the bedclothes felt luxurious and cosy. We also loved the little touches about the place, such as the toffees left on the beds, the bottles of water in the bedrooms and the toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gels, make up pads and bathrobes etc. supplied in the bathrooms. Towels were also provided.

The setting of the house is also beautiful. It's only 10-15 minutes from Mullingar, but completely peaceful and surrounded by lovely countryside. If we'd a bit more time we would have said hello to the farm animals next door too!

Finally, Carmel is a superb hostess. She is so keen to help make your stay as good as it can be and she was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend her house to anyone and I will certainly stay here again if I find myself in the area in the future.
