prachtig mooi een nieuw huis

Zeer goed ontvangen en een schitterend huis. Bij de nonnen op het terrein die 's avonds klokslag 20.30 de poort op slot doen. (gelukkig nog een eigen ingang;>). Wij hebben genoten.

Great start of our Ireland round trip

This was the first stop of our Ireland trip. We stayed with our family of five and we loved the place. Close to Lismore and only a one hour drive from Cork. The hospitality of Bernadette was superb. The family that owns the fully renovated Old Post. Office lives only 5m away and the supported ud when needed. We will definetly come back when returning to Ireland.
