    There was ample parking, the location was ideal, and the property was gated, which felt safer. The interior design was beautiful, and it has a really bold design wallpaper with luxury furnishings inside the bedroom. There were a few lounge areas,...

    This is a very unique place with a very special host. The location was perfect for our camino along the St Finbarr Way and conveniently poised in the village area close to the very handy local grocery store. The house is wonderfully decorated...
