Come and experience the undiscovered Ireland. A stay in this memorable old house set in lush green farmland in the heart of the countryside, heals the heart, soul and mind and gives an opportunity to experience quietness and tranquility. You can walk through the farm roadways, or take a bicycle ride around the local area to hear the warm witty tales of the neighbourhood. Carrigmore or Big Rock in the Irish Language, is a major geological feature adjacent to the farm which can be used as a viewing point.
The farmhouse is situated approx 50 minutes from Shannon Airport, bypassing Limerick City and three miles from the village of Doon. The village has a Roman Catholic church and 1 grocery shop, one with petrol station and bakery, a butcher shop, a garage, a doctor’s surgery and pharmacy, a hardware store, and a weekly mobile bank at the community centre and a post office.
