For our summer visitors the french doors to the gardens offer a panoramic view of the Nagle mountains and the lush Blackwater valley. The straight lines of the bedroom furniture give a sense of space. Two of the bedrooms have TV sockets if guests wish to bring along an extra set.

Walk the bank of the Blackwater River at the farm where nature can be experienced at it's best, enjoy the wide variety of plants on the hedge rows, count the many birds you will see, robin, swallow, trush and yellow hammer to name a few, sit by the river and watch the ducks and swans swim by and if you are lucky the shy otter may peep from under the over hanging bank. At dusk enjoy the flight of the bats.
Stroll from Sand Cottage along the country road to Bridgetown Priory which was founded by Alexander Fitz Hugh Roche in the early 13th century. Its buildings are placed around the usual quadrangle. The church is on the north side, and is divided into two parts, with the eastern section having 13th century lancet windows and a good 15th century tomb niche. Considerable portions of the domestic buildings remain including a covered passage beside the cloister on the east side and a fine refectory with 13th century lancet with windows on the first floor of the southern range of buildings.
