What a gorgeous activity to do, especially on a lovely dry, sunny day. Joe was friendly and informative. His dogs, lambs and goats were so cute. The view from Joe's home is worth the trip! 😍 A stunning part of Ireland. Peaceful and unspoilt beauty all around. My kids and the adults really enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning location! Really enjoyed watching the collie going through her routine and also feeding the lambs. Joe was great, highly recommend a visit.
