Great central location for our visits to family and friends. Warm welcome from owner who is on hand for any issues. Didnât get chance to use the outside space but looks great. Couple of issues with plumbing which the owner told us about on arrival - caused us no real inconvenience and due to be sorted imminently. The option to arrange a welcome pack with some essentials would be a good option if possible. Thanks for a great stay

Greeted with a lit fire and the essentials ready for a cup of tea after a long journey! Hosts were so so welcoming to us, especially the children and could not have done more for us. Anytime we needed something they did everything they could to accommodate us. Looking forward to revisiting next time we come back to Ireland!
