We can highly recommend Kilmallock house for quiet, self-catering weekends.
Beautiful setting, well stocked kitchen, excellent hosts and very comfortable beds.
The walk-in shower was a real treat as was the kind supply of a breakfast pack of eggs (from their own hens), sausages, rashers, milk and butter. Curracloe beach is
a 15 min drive away and well worth the trip even in the rain.
N.B. the fridge doesn't have an ice compartment but we brought a bag of ice which lasted the weekend in the bottom of the fridge.
