    “Lovely property and great space.”

    The old school house is well planned out and a great central spot for exploring the Midlands of Ireland. Biggest issue is the spiders in the house, while no fear of spiders it definitely made us unable to relax completely. Also oven would need updated as takes ages to cook anything.

    Sorry to hear that spiders made the visit uneasy for your visit. We are here now for a few days and there are 2/3 spiders around which we put outside.This is the countryside and there will be more than in a city location now and then. We appreciate your positive comments on our property .Regarding your comments on the cooker :it is a modern electric standard ceramic 4 ring hob with with oven and grill in full working order.
