Our family, including two aged dogs, and two adult sons, descended upon Peaceful Lodge a week before Christmas. We extended our stay twice, and spent a total of 7 weeks at Tom and Pam’s cottage. The location is gorgeous, it’s deliciously rural, and there were days which went by where we never bumped into anyone. The walks from the cottage are many, we particularly enjoyed making our way down to the river Slaney. Everything is as it says on the ticket, the bedrooms are comfortable, the linen and duvets good quality, the kitchen is well stocked. There is plenty of hot water, and the WiFi works a treat, we had up to four of us working remotely at a time. Pam and Tom are great hosts, very responsive should you need assistance with anything, and Pam had made us feel very welcome with a fresh loaf, a fruit bowl….If staying in winter, allow for the energy costs. It’s a wonderful place of which we will have only happy memories. The Ardattin Inn has a very convenient array of essentials, and Tulllow, which is about 10 minutes by car has excellent shopping options. A car is probably essential. Thank-You Pam and Tom for being our home from home whilst we waited to move into our own house.
