I cannot say enough about our stay at Margaret's place in Mount Briscoe. Margaret was an exceptional host. She took great interest in our stay and experience at her place. We had initially selected Margaret's farm as our first stop in Ireland to rest and rejuvenate from our long travel from the US. Our 3 young girls loved Margaret and were quite sad to say goodbye when it was time to leave. Margaret spent specific time with them to make their stay interesting and enjoyable. As an example, my wife and I were exhausted from the travel, so I laid down to "rest" for a moment. Apparently I fell asleep : ) as it is quite peaceful there. When I awoke, I found Margaret (and one of her "staff") entertaining our girls by playing croquet on the beautiful lawn with them.

Mount Briscoe, as well as the surrounding area, was full of interesting history. It was a good launching point for a couple of day excursions (including Birr Castle and Park). Margaret's place at Mount Briscoe (near Daingean) was very nice and well appointed with many high end touches and features. Margaret has taken great care to restore the vintage stone cottage into a very beautiful and comfortable residence.

My family and I were quite taken with Margaret's gracious care and attention, as well as with the classic and quiet beauty of her place. By the time we left, it felt as though we were leaving behind a dear friend. My wife and girls were literally wiping away tears as we headed down the drive.

I highly recommend Margaret's Mount Briscoe place, not only for the beautiful residence, but for the care and attention provided by Margaret, her staff and family.

Many sincere thanks Margaret for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable.
