Beautifully restored church that sits on a wonderful plot of land and cemetery. The hosts were so friendly and did every thing they could to make us feel at home. We had a wonderful time and would return anytime!

So great to see such a fabulous building restored and put to use. Was a fun getaway for us as we settled in to the time zone change prior to spending time with friends for NYE and a great base to explore surrounding sites. Maybe not an ideal time of year due to short daylight hours but it was the time we had. Would love to come back in the summer and see more of the area. It’s easy to see the love that was poured in to the restoration. Enjoyed spending a few minutes meeting the hosts and getting suggestions for places to see.

It was brilliant we went to celebrate Christmas early as 3 of the adults are working over Christmas. The grand kids just loved exploring the church and we went to explore the area the church it self is fabulous it’s a very special place and would highly recommend it Carmel was on hand if anything was needed. Can’t wait to go back in the summer

I could right a book about the beautiful restoration & interior design of a Gothic Church! Our stay was magical. The design is the best of all the many places we stayed in. Stunning really. This location could easily be used in a fairytale! I just can’t say enough. The master was down stairs and the 2nd was upstairs with its own bath. I highly recommend reserving a stay here. The host was lovely.

We stayed here as part of my 50th birthday trip, and it really was the most unique and enchanting lodging we visited. The pictures don't do justice to how special this place is. The downstairs bedroom ran a bit warm for our liking (to be fair, everywhere we stayed in Ireland and Scotland was warmer than we would like), and it was unclear how to change the temperature. Fortunately, on our second night, our fellow travelers were willing to switch rooms so I could get some non-sweaty sleep. We would absolutely stay here again, but we would certainly make arrangements to have the temperature set cooler on a future visit since guests can't control the heat.

Advise the owner she needs more hooks in the bathrooms and directions to turn on the shower...WE all three loved it.

This property is perfect for anyone feeling adventurous. Fantastic conversion/restoration of a very old Gothic church to vacation rental. Very quirky & needs a couple of repairs. But I would stay again in a heartbeat!! Carmel was beyond helpful with our transportation issues even though she'd had a family death. Her renters are obviously very important to her.
