Our stay with was amazing! Mark was a super nice guy with a lot of interesting stories. He made sure that we felt comfortable from the first second. The apartment itself was spacious and gorgeous. It's an old country house with a lot of charm directly at a small river. Next to it also where the remainings of a small church. Mark is currently renovating the inside, making it a wonderful place to stay in the future. We will come back here the next time we are in Limerick or near it.

The grounds, comprising of eight acres of gardens, woodland and river bank are being reclaimed from nature after a 25 year lapse in management.
