From the moment we came in the gate to the courtyard and saw the long walled garden we knew this was going to be a special stay. The accomodation is a beautifully, and tastefully restored coach house. Downstairs has a stove, fully loaded and ready to go, and a comfy couch from which you can bask in the warmth (as well as other lovely furniture and utilities for tea, coffee etc.). Upstairs has the two 4 poster beds, cosy rugs which cover a beautiful wooden floor and a brand new bathroom, as well as another couch and TV (with a drawer full of DVDs) if you choose to chill out in this area. We sat outside in the courtyard for most the evening before moving inside and lighting the fire, it was an idyllic setting. The next morning our wonderful hosts (including Dodge the Dachshund) invited us for a coffee and scone, we ended up chatting for two and a half hours, it was such a nice experience. We can't recommend this place enough, it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had, if not the best. Also, the location is great, only a short walk from the centre of Mitchelstown, and we got great tips on where to go next. A perfect start to our trip!
