Lavinia and her husband are wonderful hosts. The house is completely refurbished but still retains its original charm, just with all mod cons. Lavinia brought home made (still hot!) soda bread and jam - both delicious - and her husband brought in wood for the fireplace that lasted through my stay. The bed and sofa are super comfy and I especially appreciated the open fire in the sitting room - a real treat. I also really enjoyed the decor with the original paintings throughout - some of the farmhouse itself. The location was perfect for me. If you go up the farm's private road, it's a beautiful walk to the top of the hill overlooking the valley and the coast. Spectacular Derrynane Beach is less than 10 minutes drive away. Finally a big thank you to Lavinia for allowing canine guests in her house. Both my dog and I really loved this place and hope to come back again for a longer stay!
