Absolutely immaculate, a really special house, it is decorated beautifully and is so comfortable, warm and inviting. The bathroom is like one you would find in a luxury spa hotel. If the weather is not so good there's a beautiful wood burning stove and a cosy living room with loads and loads of interesting reading material. If the weather is good, Offaly has lots to offer - would recommend Birr castle and Lough Boora (esp with kids).
Margaret was a wonderful host, a genuine lady, she is the most generous host we ever encountered- she goes out of her way to make the guest feel welcome- provided lots of food in the kitchen for our use and loads of wood for the fire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mount Briscoe. Just go there.
