from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome . As we were hungry after a long journey Martina rang and booked us a table at a local restaraunt, nothing was too much trouble. We loved watching Patsy with his sheepdogs infact it was liam's favourite bit of the holiday

Facilities

Step into the sun lounge and enjoy a full Irish breakfast and home baking or if you prefer a continental breakfast. Listen to the dawn chorus and watch the sun peak over the Blue Stack Mountains – a good start to any day.
After a long day touring the area, why not step outside on a balmy evening and enjoy some peace and quiet in the beautiful garden. Otherwise you can always relax in the lounge with Patsy playing his music and a roaring fire in the background – the perfect end to a great day.
