We had a great stay at Lionsden House. Niall gave us the tour and was very helpful. The most surprising and amazing part about the house was learning some of the history! We learned a bit about the Swifte family who built the original house and owned the land in the area; we even found an amazing mausoleum/monument (20 ft tall 3 sided pyramid) in the nearby abandoned church with the Swifte name. There was mention of an ancient burial mound in a book in the house, and after searching the property, we think we found it (had an amazing tree growing on top). It was cool to see this after touring Newgrange and seeing some of the other ancient burial mounds in Ireland. Another neat surprise were the sheep that were grazing on the property. There were brand new lambs prancing around, which made for a great compliment to the scenery during a walk around the property. Highly recommend!
