Sabine: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I so enjoyed having you as guests and neighbours and loved that your son came on holiday to Carrowcullen bringing a suit to play the part of a 19th c Victorian guest, posed reading Victorian books! I look forward to your return to discover more of the Wild Atlantic Way here perched in the Ox Mountains.

I was so delighted that you and your family enjoyed playing the professional grade Bluthner Model B piano in the 1880s step back in time restored farmhouse! I also enjoyed lending your daughters two violins, since they did not bring their own. Music was an integral part of Carrowcullen's history and the 1880s granary held dances in the 'lean months' to bring in money. The Welcome letter which I send out at the time of booking and invite questions throughout the time before arrival, clearly states 'Carrowcullen is an 1880s period property: low thresholds, narrow and uneven steps, uneven floors.' There is a toliet and sink in the understairs on the ground floor; the sitting room also has a sink and toliet and brass and iron bedstead, so that those for whom the steps are a challenge, can stay on the ground floor. From the time of booking through the arrivals letter on the day I invite any queries to be raised in the messaging service on this platform.
