The master bedroom is decorated with Arts and Craft period furnishings. The original wardrobe, dressing and side tables are sympathetically augmented with similar style chest of drawers. Brussels and Victorian lace are historically appropriate as is a Scandinavian dowry chest which was purchased in a Irish country sale The twin bedroom is also furnished with 19th c period furnishings.

The sitting room/bedroom has a toliet and sink behind a Victorian screen to facilitate guests for whom the original narrow stairs and upstairs Victorian cast iron bath with shower present challenge; available by prior arrangement, the utility shed has a pod with shower. A toliet and sink are under the kitchen stairs.The master bedroom and twin bedroom have sinks. Carrowcullen is set back from a quiet country road on a private lane with 14 acres of pastures; it is a working farm; fresh eggs are available.
