Mallow, Ireland: We live in a beautiful rural location but amenities are very close by. My parents and brothers and sisters live close by and we enjoy entertaining in each other's homes. I have 3 living rooms so there is plenty of privacy if that is required. The room is not ensuite but they would have their own private bathroom. I am a good cook and can cater for special diets. We love sitting down together to eat and talk and everyone is always welcomed into our home.

Excursions and Local Attractions
I live in a beautiful part of county Cork which is central for many excursions. Mallow town is 4 miles away and there are many restaurants, cinema, leisure facilities, shops and library. There is also a bus and train station. Blarney Castle which is a huge attraction is only 30 minutes drive away. Mallow Golf Club is only 2 miles away and both my husband and I are members and so golf can be arranged if necessary. Killarney is only an hours drive away and there are many beautiful sights to be seen. The Nagle Mountains are very close to my home and there is a beautiful area to go hill walking. If anyone is interested in fishing, the River Blackwater runs behind my house. There are riding stables a mile from my house for anyone interested in horseriding. Cork city is a half an hours drive away and there is plenty to see and do here including Cork Opera House for anyone interested in theatre. There is a traditional Irish pub close to my house where there is a friendly ambience.
