Lorum Old Rectory

24/11/2023

The time has come for us to announce Lorum Old Rectory's retirement as a bed and breakfast. Betty started welcoming guests in 1963, so we won't hazard a guess as to how many of you may have visited in the past 60 years; but we carry forward the most wonderful memories of celebrations, weekend escapes, visitors from all over the world and those from this beautiful island we call home. Thank you to each and every one of you who visited, we loved having you all to stay.
Bobbie and Rebecca ###

Our self catering "The Stables" will continue to operate as usual in the courtyard.

For reasons beyond our understanding.... a copper coin dropped into your vase will keep your tulips from falling over (thanks for the tip Alice!)

Our self-catering cottage in the courtyard is available for bookings for those of you who would like an escape to south Carlow.

The fog has lifted today and we've been treated to the most beautiful winter morning.

This year we added a little to the Christmas collection, a carved Nativity set, possibly Mexican found at an antiques emporium in Point Pleasant NJ, the candle cloche is a gift from Cologne, and our dried flowers come from the garden at Mad About Flowers (just around the corner from us here)
No Christmas hall-stand would be complete without a little stained glass from Bobbie.

It's been a busy couple of months here with some new arrivals courtesy of Maud. Seems like only yesterday I was posting photos of her as a puppy and I'm now posting photos of her puppies. I promise to try and get a couple of good shots before they find their new homes.

Adele's mugs and butter dishes have taken pride of place on our shelves for a good few years now. It was great to see her work adding to the creative showcase that was the on Friday. Check out her other work out on www.adelestanley.com

Tonight the harvest will be celebrated in Lorum Church. It was built just prior to the building of Kilgreaney School and Lorum Rectory. We are also celebrating our own harvest here. We have been gifted with plenty. Thanksgiving is well deserved.

Rural electrification at its finest!

We decided to take the plunge and convert our treasured aga to electric.

Looking forward to trying out a few new recipes.

There's no exaggeration in this review of one of the best experiences in South Carlow

Ireland is criss-crossed with lakes and rivers, many of which are only a short drive away, perfect for whiling a day away kayaking on.

Sometimes nature takes care of the gardening.
