    The house itself is originally an older building which has undergone considerable renovation and has been updated and modernised in recent years. Although still retaining much of its quaint character, inside the house offers everything you need for your stay including fresh towels/bedding and well stocked kitchen appliances. The welcome pack of bread butter jam & biscuits was a lovely touch, and very much appreciated following our long journey (as were the fresh flowers which made the place very homely). We loved reading about Annie and family, and the history of the house in the welcome pack. Although a bit of a rocky road in parts, we enjoyed evening walks on the country lane leading to the house, and the night sky is truly a sight to behold from the grounds of the house. All in all, we had a lovely stay at Annie's place and would recommend this holiday home as a great base to explore the hidden gem that is South Armagh and the surrounding countryside : )
