“A beautiful, unique house in a remote location and run by lovely hosts.”
Our hosts Declan & Bernie couldn't have been nicer, more welcoming people. They were very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms and the house itself are truly beautiful here. It was a real treat to see how well kept the house was, with many interesting details everywhere you looked. The bedroom and ensuite were both spacious and very comfortable.

Beautiful and spacious residence with a homely feel. We were well looked after and the breakfast was unbeatable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were huge and the beds allowed a great nights sleep. The location was quiet and surrounded by pretty countryside.

“A thoroughly enjoyable experience!”
A gorgeous house in a very pretty setting! Our room was just perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bed linen felt quite luxurious. As for breakfast, we absolutely loved it: fresh fruit, different types of homemade bread that were all beautiful, tasty jams, freshly squeezed oj, eggs from the hens onsite...and more... The hosts were very welcoming and attentive to their guests' needs. We were treated to some delicious homemade cake on arrival, along with a large pot of tea, all this served in a cosy lounge where a fire had been lit up in a magnificent fireplace. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

“The 2 days there were a delight and a taste of old Ireland and we have happy memories still.”
Having eaten a thousand Irish breakfasts these last 40 years, we can say unequivocally this was the best. Bernie and Declan breed their own 2- spot brown pigs there: the full breakfast is simply wonderful- clean, no grease, beautifully presented. Green tea, beautiful coffee. Declan is knowledgeable regarding the area and the Georgian house’s remarkable history. The area is quiet, peaceful - lovely walks on local lanes. The lounge and library was at our disposal as was the garden and its walks. Wonderful spot in the Irish Midlands - and the M6/ M4 only 10 minutes away, as is the little town if Kilbeggan with its famous brewery. More should know of this lovely place- lovely people too!
