We were delighted by the way we were treated,NOTHING was too much trouble for our hosts they even provided a reclining chair for me to sleep in as I had broken my hip and could not rest in bed.We urge any one thinking of booking this accomodation go ahead,you wont regret it. The sheepdog demonstration is a must not to mention Patsys fiddle playing.

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.
