This
magnificent Georgian Manor House was built in 1720.
Overlooking a private lake and 100 acres of meadow and woods, it is an
oasis of
peace.
Set in the heart of hunting and fishing country, it is a picture post
card
come alive. It is perfect. |

The first time we
entered the large oval entry hall,
we were stunned by the gorgeous murals
depicting
the four virtues (Valor, Justice, Chastity and Beauty). Completed
in 1790, it is the last remaining mural by John Ryan.

The
beautiful formal dining room accommodates 20, but it can seat up to 50,
when needed. The deep blue walls, white woodwork, rich fabrics
and the elegant table settings create a lovely setting for any occasion. The very large kitchen is an absolute dream. The big Aga stove is the hearth, the heart of the kitchen, The entire room is designed for optimum efficiency and beauty. All of the equipment, from refrigerator to frying pans, are top-of-the-line. Nothing has been forgotten. You may think you don't want to cook on your holiday, but this kitchen may change your mind! |

Behind
the kitchen there's a small television room with a sofa and easy
chairs.
Shelves hold books and games. This is a great room for kids to
watch TV while the adults cook together. |

There are 10 en suite bedrooms, each named for an Irish artist. Five bedrooms are on the upper floor. Three with king beds that can convert to twins, one with a double bed and one with a double and a single bed. On the garden level, there are 4 bedrooms, one queen, two doubles and one with twin beds. All are elegant, spacious, beautifully decorated with period furniture and many lovely touches. Four bedrooms have lake views, the others overlook the garden. The bathrooms are large and luxurious; all have showers and some have bathtubs. One of the 10 bedrooms is in the "Pavilion", a private two-story suite attached to the front of the house with a double bed and lake view. It was once the wine cellar and it's very special and very private. Who in your party will have that room? |
