“Set on the shores of Caragh Lake, this Victorian country house certainly impresses with its well-maintained gardens and access to nature trails; the personalized picnics and dining experiences featuring local produce stood out. The tranquil ambiance is perfect for a relaxing escape, and the absence of TVs in the rooms encourages a complete disconnect. It's a unique place with warm Irish hospitality.”
