Our accommodations just keep getting better and better! This time it’s an historic cottage on the ancestral lands of the Lynch family. We’re in the very comfortable cottage that was once the servants’ quarters for Ballycurrin House. Originally built in the mid-Eighteenth Century it was more comfortable quarters for the family than the castle, the remains of which we explored this morning. The house, cottage, and caretakers quarters were torched in 1922 during The Troubles and the owner fled to England and never returned. It stood as ruins until the mid 1990’s when the current owner purchased it and restored it as guesthouses.
