    The host Catherine was very nice and helpful. We had a great sleep and the full Irish breakfast was delicious. The property was very clean and comfortable. An older style b&b… but a lot of traditional charm.

    Hosts were amazing! Catherine and Sean went above and beyond in all areas to make us comfortable. Catherine supported me to find family history in the area. Breakfasts were great and the farm walks beautiful. Thank you.
