You can love the Irish but it is hard to love their taste in domestic architecture. It took an Australian to spot the potential in this manor house, which was listed for demolition to make way for a bungalow or three. A truly interesting and off-beat place to stay. The welcome warm, the breakfasts hearty, the rooms large and intriguingly furnished. The vibe is informal and on the shabby side of shabby chic - more like staying with a wayward cousin than checking into a Country Club. All in a great place to stay - highly recommended - including by my 87 year old mother.
