Padraig's lovely housekeeper Patty met us when we arrived, and showed us around the lodge which was helpful. She already had a fire going for us, which was very thoughtful! We loved the aesthetic of this house - modern, bright, airy, spacious and clean! It has a wonderful big kitchen, ample space for a couple of cooks (or helpers) The only issue was that it was cold on our first day + night. The stove also heats the radiators, and they were slow to come on. By adding coal to the fire made a vast difference, so by Saturday we were super toasty. This part of Ireland is very beautiful, it was nice to explore and pop over to Waterford on the ferry. So much to do, and the lots of little inlets and beaches to explore. We had a wonderful time here.. and I would love to go back.
