We live in a 5 bedroom dormer house, with 4 bathrooms, 1 sitting room, kitchen, and living room, the living room is where we spend a lot of time with family and friends. We live in the Countryside, surrounded by scenic views ,we are a short stroll from the village where a leisurely walk can be enjoyed in the local park or a hot chocolate or delicious treats in the local coffee shop. We are a short drive from the Iconic and impressive Rock of Cashel, the famous Coolmore stud is an 8 minute drive from our home. Our area is steeped in history. We enjoy meeting new people, learning about other cultures and traditions and sharing ours with other Nationalities. We enjoy the outdoors and love showing our beautiful countryside and heritage and historical sites to our guests. We enjoy hiking through the many trails in our area and surrounding Counties, spending time with family and friends enjoying home cooked meals and eating out too.
