Shiplake Farmhouse is an incredible find!
I was initially attracted to the listing for its choice of location (on the gateway of fantastic West Cork) and its interesting layout and styling but the experience was so much more than we expected.
The farmhouse has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully furnished with an artistic and eclectic choice of beautiful items. Outside there is a lovely garden with an array of art & collectables intermingled with lush planting which allows the freedom for children to explore. The trampoline was an additional bonus.
It felt a privilege to stay here. The house was spotlessly clean, was very comfortable and the stay was incredibly peaceful.
Our host Jackie, was most welcoming and suggested some very useful suggestions re local attractions. There is a folder full of information in the house also.
The rural setting is tranquil - literally off the beaten track - which is exactly what we wanted. Whilst our trip was short we found our time at Shiplake to be very relaxing and restorative.
We very much hope to return on our next visit to Cork. Thank you
Hilary, Ted & family.
