A fantastic place. Driving up to our destination through the green surroundings of the vast estate, arriving at the mansion ( or should we rather say ‘castle’), and being friendly welcomed by sympathetic Nicola and the six dogs, was an experience to remember. Entering the hall and taking in the captivating atmosphere of the old house and its tangible history further added to this. This was really a perfect choice for our last night in Ireland! Our room had great views and was spacious so that we could without problem re-arrange our trunks for the return-travel by the airplane. We slept very well in the double bed with good matrasses and with down covers. In the morning we met Durcan over breakfast who willingly and friendly showed us some more highlights of the house, and introduced us a little bit in the interesting (family) history of the Annaghmore estate.
After having loaded our luggage in the car, we made a short stroll in the greens around the house, accompanied playfully by three of the dogs. We could very well imagine that we could stay here for a couple of days, enjoying the atmosphere and surroundings, but our tickets were already booked… We left Annaghmore with happy memories and dreams. Thanks Nicola and Durcan for offering us the opportunity to spend a night at this great place. All the best for the time to come and good luck in finding good ways to maintain and preserve this special place.
