This vacation home gives a feeling of having been loved by generations of Simon's family. 'Shabby chic' instead of 'not luxurious' perhaps. Hodge-podge crockery, piles of wellies and bits of bobs from the last 100 years dotted all around the house. I think that everything must have a history and be worthy of the telling the Archers dynasty in a 100 objects. With two open fires and plenty of space, this house is a fantastic get away. Even with mid-winter weather, it was more than big enough, and warm enough, for a family of five to have a wonderful weekend away. Also check out Boda Borg at Lough Key - very different and real fun for all the family.
