Key Highlights
- With a picturesque village on one side and a 52 acre private park on the other, this property is set in a truly breathtaking location.
- The height of the rooms throughout the property give it a cosy yet palatial feel (they have to be - the owner is 6"6'!) - the whole place is airy, welcoming and full of light
- The local village butcher provides excellent catering and a delivery service, with meals starting from just two euros per head.
- The top floor bedroom has to be seen to be believed, the exposed original beams are breathtaking, and one of the beds in the property was owned by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle himself!
- The owner has prepared a house-book which serves as a great little practical guide to the region. It will help you make the most of the region during your stay!
