It is in the most beautiful area with facilities close by. The hosts Padraig, Hilda and family could not have been more friendly or helpful. It was lovely to arrive to some delicious treats and fresh flowers. Nothing was too much trouble and everything has clearly been carefully thought through. Thank you Julianne and Keith

And each evening took a stroll down to the lake to watch the sunset. The owners are lovely lovely people so friendly and helpful and the scones and biscuits in the welcome basket were the best we had ever tasted and were very much needed after a 12 hour journey.
