Barbara’s place was one of my favorites in all of Ireland that I got to stay at! The house itself is so unique in its structure. Large rooms and lots of space make it suitable for families or large groups, but lots of comfy furniture and the fireplace give it a warm and cozy atmosphere for lazy mornings and nights in.
If you are a dog-person like me, you will appreciate the sweet and loyal company of Douglas the black lab, sometimes accompanied by his friend Thompson, the less outgoing, but just as friendly terrier.
Barbara’s gardens are beautifully managed and are a treat to walk through and appreciate. The compound within the walls of the houses and garden would be perfect if you have little children who need to get some supervised energy out and there are great walking paths in the surrounding areas.
Barbara is a wonderful host who went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. She spent time chatting, touring us around her garden, and giving us local tips for things to see and do in the area. I couldn’t recommend her place highly enough! If you are traveling through Ireland, book into Barbara’s place!
