    Number 3 is a stunning old type farmhouse with a pure gentleman owner and his charming wife. Well worth a stay to see old time Ireland.

    No thanks.

    I have a nice house and don’t like leaving it.

    Also these places might be difficult to get to or the roads annoying to steer around on.
