Bernie's home is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. She had a lovely table set for us for breakfast and served fruit, yogurt, scones, toast, tea, and coffee. She was friendly and more than willing to help with anything, but was also ok with giving us space. :) her house is located about 1.5 hours got the airport and there are a lot of cool places to see within driving distance. I'd recommend her house as a great stop-off point or even stay a few days to explore the area. She's lovely! The only trouble we had was locating her coming from Birr. You need to drive through Kilcormac (I believe that is the town), and it will be on your right off of N52.
