New ZealandI loved everything about the convent. Old worldly and immaculately clean. Bed was super comfy and I loved having the use of the living rooms and access to the family’s books. Sean was an amazing host and the cooked breakfast was hearty. I wasn’t finished my huge pot of tea and Sean was giving me a fresh one. The view from the bedroom was unbelievable, I will be back!
IrelandLovely old property with many original features. Bed was very comfortable.
