“Cosy quiet charming house situated in beautiful farmland”
It was an exceptionally clean and cosy house with lots of old world charm. Very quiet and peaceful. We were at a wedding in Mount Worsley hotel in Tullow and it was only a 20 minute drive. Local taxi ( number provided by host) collected us in the early hours,

“Peace and quiet in Tullow”
We stayed at The Hollow for three nights. It's in a remote area which we loved. The house was warm and cosy and full of character. Would love to have stayed a bit longer.

“Lovely placed and recommend highly.”
The house is a beautiful 'cut granite' farmhouse that has been recently renovated. We ended up being a bit later that expected, and were facilitated. It was a home away from home and suited us well as a base.

“Would probably repeat”
Although it took us longer than expected to reach, it was worth the effort. The Hollow is the place to stay at when it comes to visiting the area.
