A beautiful house but we were put in a dusty and shabby ground floor barn conversion, with a log stove but no heating in the morning and a door that gapped about 5cms and tiny, tiny bathroom. Charged €30 a head for a plate of curry followed by fruit salad and ice cream. No heat in the dining room despite a huge log store outside and stove in the dining room. Had to push for coffee and biscuits on arrival, to be shown a kitchen in interesting but shabby out building and asked what I intended to do with the coffee grains. Eccentric landlady whose daughter is a cat. Entertaining in its own way but couldn't get away from her. €90 each per night. Rip off. If we had had a room in the house or upstairs in barn then maybe worth it but be really careful before booking this band.

No other accommodation from our 3 weeks in Ireland was as unique and memorable as Cullintra Country House. It's a place where you let go of schedules and surrender to the spell of its ivy-covered farmhouse and fairy-tale grounds and to the vibe of its owner and chef extraordinaire, Patricia. She is a character! If you are open to new experiences and hearing opinions you may not share, willing to eat whatever Patricia prepares (it will be locally sourced and delicious), and okay with dining late and sitting and talking with your host until the wee hours, you will love Cullintra House. But you must be laid back and willing to accept this place and this lady on their own terms. After all, isn't that what travel is all about?
