We had the most enjoyable 2 nights stay with Olive & James at Cullentra House. The hospitality was exceptional, & the scenery from their warm home was breathtaking. Everything was so perfect! The breakfast made by Olive was absolutely delicious. She also gave us scones to go everyday. James & Olive were so informative with restaurants to go to & also they helped us in our sightseeing plans each day. We would stay here again if we were in the area. We recommend it to everyone .
