This house - and its hosts - are truly something special. It is an incredible period home with more character than could be imagined, but has every amenity you could want or need. The friendly, warm welcome from Bernie and Jim (and Bernie's delicious warm scones) were the perfect start to our stay. The setting in rural Roscommon is peaceful and beautiful (don't be surprised if a few deer are there to greet you in the morning when you wake!). The outdoor fireplace on the patio was a big highlight for us and we spent much of our time out there when relaxing after seeing some of the nearby sights (Lough Key Forest Park is well worth a visit!). We are already planning our next visit back to Ardcarne Lodge. Thanks a million Brian, Jim, and Bernie!
