Ellen's home was the best experience of any place I have stayed since I began traveling Europe in early February. The expansive and beautifully picturesque estate was the perfect introduction to the Irish countryside. The animals were lovely! I met a few dogs, including a sweet young Bernese Mountain Dog named Hero. There were a couple piglets who shared a large paddock and kennel with two charming labs.
On the other side of the estate I found stables and the most beautiful horses (and one attention hungry goat) who loved chest and neck scratches as well as a few nose kisses. The property was secluded and provided a great setting for some late morning trail running.
Ellen's home is the perfect setting for a getaway, whether alone or in a group. If you are a writer or photographer- even better!!
