WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY:

Easter was like midsummer. Fantastic weather. Beautiful location. Everyone had a wonderful holiday. Thanks very much for a very enjoyable time.

Jane, Philip, Jack, Ellen and Avril. Co, Kildare, 29th April 2011

Dear Gerry. Thanks so much for having us in your wonderful cottage. We really appreciated your kindness and the delicious home produce. As you will find out, we enjoyed most of it. Staying here at Inchimore Farm was an absolute delight.

Theo, Denny, Woody, George and Jimmy from Holland, 5th June 2011

We stayed at Inchimore Farm for a week and really enjoyed every minute of our time there. Set in a very tranquil setting, away from all distractions of the outside world, it’s the perfect place to relax and chill out. The farmhouse itself has an old world charm with the personal touch from the current owners. We felt more like invited guests rather than seasonal renters. Everything we needed was there and more. Our dogs also had a great time.

Thanking you again from Rose and Siobhan (Dungarvan, Ireland)

What an amazing place to stay with such spectacular views of mountains and countryside. Lovely warm welcome, spacious accommodating house with many facilities. The only passing traffic was cows who were going to be milked!! A peaceful and tranquil haven and we will be back again. Thank you.

Helen Farley and family (Windsor, Berkshire, England)

Thank you so much for opening up your lovely farm to visitors. I can’t imagine a more ideal and welcoming place, with little joys in every corner.

Jane Friedman and Michael Wheatley, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

What a fantastic place – so peaceful and relaxing. The scenery is stunning and the house is lovely. It’s a great base for exploring the area. We would wholeheartedly recommend Inchimore for a holiday - to get away from it all and to really relax and unwind. Thank you Gerry.

Ian and Teresa Foster, Menorca, Spain. 10th July, 2010

As the people before us have said, thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. We appreciated the stores and spices in the cupboards, and the wellies came in handy too!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the bog myrtle wine and are still drinking the ale. Again thank you for the extra touches. We h ope to find a house just like this one day – who knows, maybe we’ll be neighbours after all (broadbanbd included, of course).

Nanine, Wilbert, Ties and Wipke. Abcoude, Holland, 24th July, 2010

Dear Gerry, What a wonderful house at a beautiful spot! We’ve loved being here, watching the birds and only hearing the river, the wind and the rain. It was very relaxing. We think Ireland is a very nice country with very nice people! We hope we will come back one day. All the best...

Nanine, Wilbert, Ties and Wipke. Abcoude, Holland 24th July, 2010

Thank you for a wonderful 5 days. The location, the house, everything including the welcome was perfect. Will recommend and will return. Many, many thanks.

The approach to Inchimore Farm Next Photo

The exact date when the stone farmhouse was built has been lost, but at least a hundred years ago. If you talk to most of the men in their forties in the village they used to work here as boys. It was a thriving farm with cattle and sheep but gradually fell into disuse as the owners became too old and infirm to keep it going.

About 25 years ago the whole of the top end of the valley (1000 acres in all) was bought by an American called Fuzzy, who fell in love with the area. He modernised and improved both houses, putting in modern bathrooms and a huge kitchen extension at Inchimore. He installed a pipeline from the lake which gives a constant and totally reliable source of water. He and his extended family only visited for a few days each year, so the whole area became an unspoilt paradise for plants and animals. Later he sold the bog area. Maybe it was the pull of our ancestry, but in June 2004 we visited County Kerry and, like Fuzzy, fell in love with the valley - the space, the magnificent mountains, the huge expanse of sky and especially the unceasing variety of colours. We are very fortunate to have this on our doorstep and would like to share it with you.
