This was a gorgeous cabin in the middle of nowhere, yet in the middle of everything! "Town" was very close by (about 4 miles) and we did daytrips all over the country from this place, but the cabin itself was secluded, quiet and the view from the front door was breath-taking! Dublin was about an hour on the motorway, Cliffs of Moher was about 3 1/2, Belfast was about 1 1/2 and Waterford/Blarney Castle-Stone was about 4-5. There were many other places to go and see much closer though. The town of Carrickmacross was very quaint with very good restaurants and very nice people. Jim, the owner, was an extremely nice and helpful gentleman who maintains a very clean and well-kept place. His cabin description and listing is extremely accurate. We brought our 2 year old daughter and didn't have to worry about her wandering into any of the rooms and getting into anything - all of the doors lock. Outside, however, be aware that you are literally right on the lake! Beautiful, but be mindful with a small child. There is also no tub - only showers. (Wonderfully hot and soothing, though!) My only two recommendations are: One for Jim - perhaps you could get some shelves or a medicine cabinet for the bathrooms so toiletries can be left in the bathroom on a shelf; and one for visitors - bring earplugs or turn on a radio (cabin has one!) for some background noise if you bring someone with you that snores - this cabin is soooooo quiet at night that you can hear a pin drop in it!

Thank you again, Jim, for a spectacular honeymoon!!!!! We'll be back in 5 years for our anniversary!
