Family Vacation

We absolutely recommend staying here!! We had 15 people staying here for the New Years Holiday and it was absolutely the best. While in a small town the property was centrally located for us to see many historical sights.

Staying at an Irish Castle

We truly got the feel of the Irish countryside by staying here. It is very rural but was a great center point for us as we traveled to different towns and castles in the are. The home accommodated our large family of adult children and grandchildren. Loved the backyard for several pick up soccer games! Anthony and Eileen were very responsive to questions. Great place to stay with a large group or family.
