    “Top marks! Excellent accommodation, we were left wanting for nothing.”

    Perfect for families, friends or a romantic break. Location and view from house, beautiful. Equipment in the home, it has everything. Clean as a whistle, really comfortable and worked perfectly for the temperamental Irish weather. From sunshine to frost. Not to mention the friendly service and accessibility of a contact if you needed anything. The Hot Tub was the icing on the cake. Such a treat. Looking forward to going back already.
