The house was perfectly suited to our weekend plans, to attend a play at the theatre in Virginia, and to the size and nature of our group (one couple and their two children, and two single women). The furnishings are unique, eclectic, and high quality, and the layout of the rooms was perfect for us. Speaking for my bedroom, the en suite on the left upstairs, the bed was the most comfortable ever. We cooked, read from the extensive collection of books, and played board games during the day, and on the way home we stopped and climbed up to the Loughcrew Cairns at Patrick's suggestion. We encountered a couple of maintenance issues but Patrick was very responsive, and all in all it was a very good stay. We'll stay again if we're ever in the area again as a group.
