Great location and central to everything we wanted to see in South West Central Ireland, from Dublin to Cahir to Waterford to Roscrea and Trim, all easily accessible. The home is spectacular! Old school house beautifully updated to everything one could ask for! Modern and updated facilities within rustic home - absolutely charming. And the hosts were perfect! Offering advice and ideas with easy instructions. Great communicators. Highly recommend and will be the only place we stay on our next Ireland trip!
