This is an exceptional B and B with standards exceeding many four star hotels. We spent just one night but will return for a longer stay. We had been tipped off by our son who had previously stayed here. The hall, lounge, stairwell and bedroom were spotless, exceptionally well furnished and comfortable. Patricia and Paul were our welcoming hosts and have vast experience of working in five star hotels. Evening meals are served on certain days but unfortunately not on our evening so we eat nearby. After dining we returned for a drink in the cosy lounge where there is an honesty bar. Next morning we had a beautiful breakfast prepared by Paul's mother, who started the business many years ago, and consisting of many home produced and home cooked foods. After breakfast we strolled around the extensive grounds and visited the 15th century castle which is in the process of restoration. Next time, we will avail of an evening meal which understandably must be pre-booked. There are also self catering apartments available which may appeal to family groups. These guests may also eat in the main house if they so wish.

When you come down the long road to get to the castle, you know you are somewhere different and unique. The beautiful green trees fill the road from above and on the side. You are admiring it while also thinking if another car comes the other way, it is all over!! driving in Ireland was an adventure for sure!

When you turn into the main grounds, it is a beautiful scene. The castle is beautiful and you can walk up in it to the roof. It is a right out of a movie!

When you arrive, you are greeted by the Queen of the Castle (my name for her:). She is helpful, sweet and makes you feel right at home. She showed us around and offered help with taxis and dinner reservations.

Our rooms were very comfortable. Great beds, very comfortable and windows that open for fresh air. We were on the top floor and it was very quiet. The bathroom had everything you needed.

Get the breakfast!! It was amazing. Homemade scones, jellies and eggs from the chickens in the back ... everything was yummy. The breakfast casserole was my favorite. I think they called it "baked eggs" and they did not disappoint.

Treat yourself and your family to a great adventure in a beautiful place!!
