We really enjoyed staying at Quarry House. It is a lovely old stone building, furnished with delightful antiques cleverly found at local auctions by Jackie, one of the house's very nice and helpful hosts. The house is spacious and peaceful with a large, well-equipped kitchen. In summer the garden at the back would also be a nice place to sit. I cycled into Mountnugent and Finea a few times, easy rides on little used roads, breathing wonderful country air. Thanks to Jackie's advice we enjoyed visits further afield by car including to (1) Fore Abbey; (2) a beautiful bit of landscape I've forgotten the name of where you can climb to look at neolithic cairns; and (3) a marvellous piece of parkland that is great for walking, attached to a castle belonging to the Pakenham family. We would love to go back to Quarry House, next time we are in Ireland.
