Premier Host

Clonmany

The Old Parochial House in Clonmany lived up to our expectations. We (my husband and I, our children and grandchildren) spent a wonderful 6 weeks there celebrating my 80th birthday. The house has been lovingly restored with every modern convenience in place. Hugh met us when we arrived and showed us around, and was available at any time. Hugh’s wife Brenda was my saviour for household chores. I can’t say enough good things about the house and the help we received from Hugh and Brenda. Anyone’s wishing to rent this gorgeous house will have no regrets. We have such wonderful memories.

Fantastic host, house, and location.

Our group consisted of four adults - my wife and I and our adult children. This property is fantastic; we had lots of room to spread out, or be together, whichever we preferred at the time. We didn't get to meet Angela, but Gertrude was great. She met us at the property to give us a quick tour, and was readily accessible throughout our stay. She was great. And the house is fantastic. Fully appointed and very nicely decorated, too. Reminds me of places we see on the TV show Escape to the Country. As does the location; spent quite a bit of time just looking out the windows admiring the view. Would definitely stay here again, and hope to do so.
