Our 1st time in Ireland! What a great stay! A very well furnished and comfortable house with wonderful view of the lake. So good to relax here! We wish we had stayed longer. Thank you for making our stay "inoubliable" - Pierre, Marie Frances Metras and Daughters - Marseille France
We had a brilliant time and a lot more than we expected. The house the view and the change of pace was what we needed to start the new year in style. P.S. the lake swim on new years day is the best hangover cure in Ireland! - Billy Walsh and Catherine Carey and Friends - Dublin
