We had a great time in the countryside with Helen. We mostly left to sightsee but it was the perfect location for visiting the Rock of Cashel and wandering around Kilkenny. Kells Priory is also just up the road. The little town of Stoneyford was great and we loved meeting the locals at Malzards Pub across the street. Everyone was very welcoming. The place was clean and comfortable. It was also very cutely decorated. We had some trouble figuring out some things like the showers because coming from the states it was very different. Helen was on hand to help out and walk us through things.
