I stayed at Lorraine’s place for six nights. As depicted by the photo, the room is really spacious and full of natural light. It has two huge windows with views across the fields, which made for a sense of peace and tranquility. The bed was comfortable and there was a generous supply of towels, bedclothes, tea-making stuff, etc.
Lorraine is a friendly, chatty, caring and considerate host - always one step ahead with anticipating a guest’s needs. Right from the beginning, communications with her were quick, easy and straightforward. She went over and above to help me while I was staying there - giving me lifts, catering for my dietary needs, checking on bus and train timetables, telling me about local attractions, and even on my last night taking me out to hear some great Irish music at a pub in nearby town. (This was in Banagher - make sure you go there if you’re in the area.) I can also recommend the nearby town of Birr - a vibrant and pretty town whose castle has extensive and impressive grounds.
It is noted on the site that this is a family-run operation with two young children, but really, i never heard any evidence of this - once in my room, I found it a haven of tranquility. So, I would recommend this place if you’re wanting an escape from the hustle and bustle. Also, if you’re travelling by car, it’s a good central location for exploring the area.
