I only wish it could have been longer so that I could have explored the area more. The Lodge is spacious and comfortably furnished with wonderful views and easy access to the garden. Donal is very welcoming and helpful.

Candidly a week was enough as you do need a car and a fair drive to do most things. Not a criticism just an honest observation. Do walk to the pub though, lovely owner and good beer.
