My friend and I stayed at Laurence's for the weekend of the Borris Festival of Writing and Ideas.
We found the location great - it was a scenic 10min drive from Borris House, and a lovely, peaceful location for return to at the end of each busy day. Equally peaceful and scenic were the balcony and garden, which we were lucky enough to utilise to enjoy our breakfast in the mornings.
The room was more than spacious for the two of us, as was the bathroom. The shower was a highlight - large and with a rain head, making you feel like you're under a waterfall! We loved the skylights, as we could hear the sheep and lambs bleating as we dropped off the sleep, and the birds tweeting and the leaves rustling in the gentle breeze upon waking up in the morning. A real countryside experience.
We appreciated the teas and coffees available in the room, and it was really lovely to have the choice of breakfast before setting off for the day.
Laurence couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. He was always available if we needed, yet still gave us plenty of space and privacy.
We both felt this was a great location, and excellent value for money, not just for those attending the festival, but as a base for anyone seeking some peace and quiet surrounded by nature and beautiful walks - a real rural retreat!
