  • This is one of the most relaxed, private, self-catering spots you can find in Ireland! We have been twice and would love to come over more often. It's spacious enough to bring all your friends and family, but a wonderfully romantic spot for just two, as my husband I find. I can also imagine it as a place to be by yourself, without feeling lonely or isolated. It looks like a genuine old-fashioned Irish cottage inside and out, but is up-to-date for comfort (heat, lighting, beds, showers, bath) and amenities (everything you need is there). Choose to cook for yourself in the fully equipped kitchen (shops close by for groceries), or eat out (good restaurant/pub within walking distance, others easy to drive to); stay there the entire time (it's a quiet place to read, write, hike, entertain, sleep in), or take day trips to picture-postcard locations all around the coast and inland. There are warm personal touches throughout the house, from the bedding to the decor, which make it feel like a home rather than a rental or a hotel. Bunnies scamper across the lawn early morning, cats wander down the lane, and there are farms all around. It's a good place to be in the spring and summer, but consider Christmas too: it's beautiful in the snow and even in the rain. This is the "real Ireland" in beauty and comfort.

  • We have stayed in this property on more than one occasion. It is spacious yet very homey and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the view, the friendly village pubs, and walks around the area. We would happily stay again, and would recommend it to friends.

  • Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The Farm is an ideal retreat in which to relax, yet also an excellent base to enjoy the local flavour and scenery, off which there is much to explore. Good food was available within walking distance in the village, which also has a lovely little promenade overlooking the river where you can watch the local sailing activities. The property is very spacious and excellently presented. One off our favourite times was just to sit on the bench, outside of the kitchen, in the twilight enjoying the peacefulness and the view, a most tranquil moment. We will be back.
