Riassunto

This book describes a variety of Irish country houses, with an emphasis on proprietors offering guest accommodation or public access. In each piece the stories of their families, of their houses, and what they offer their visitors are combined with the writer's own response to the places and the landscape. This selection of some of the most engaging or important properties, including several national heritage sites, provides a valuable reflection of the cultural and architectural aspects of sustained Irish ownership and hospitality.
