Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Massive, luxurious room, complete with stove top. Really large comfy bed. Excellent shower. Croissants brought around in the morning. Stunning location. The building has such an interesting history and the farm is lovely to wander through. Really easy to get to and from cork airport and city via uber/taxi. Also, only a 40ish minute walk to the closest town if you fancy it. Louise and family were all so helpful and prompt in responses to any questions or needs we had. Lots of animals around, horses, sheep, goats, a peacock. One highlight was definitely the 3 really friendly dogs, and the cat who all came to greet us and keep us company while we walked around the property.
Summary: Stunning and absolutely worth a visit.
