Cullintra House

Frommer's Review

A slightly bohemian atmosphere is tangible at this historic country farmhouse, presided over by Patricia Cantlon, an accomplished artist and cook, and her several cats. The 92-hectare (227-acre) farm is a sanctuary for birds and all sorts of animals. As you would expect in a 200-year-old, ivy-clad farmhouse, each rustic guest room is charming and uniquely decorated. Morning brings a relaxed breakfast schedule (served 9:30am-noon) and perhaps a walk to Mount Brandon or the nearby cairn (prehistoric burial mound) -- a trail departs from the back gate. Dinner -- costing €30 ($39) -- begins around 9pm, announced by the sound of a gong, and guests sometimes don't depart from the candlelit dining room until the wee hours. Mrs. Cantlon is an enthusiastic hostess, and enjoys entertaining her guests and making them feel at home. This is a good bet if you like good food, candlelight, and cats.
