HAVE YOUR SAY HERE..
Dorothy, we just have to let you know
how much we enjoyed meeting you
and learning about the buffalo farm.
You may not remember us but
we were part of the Murray, Piros, and Kropp group from Georgia and North Carolina, USA.
We visited you on the 14th of September.
Your tour was unquestionably
the highlight of our 10-day visit to Ireland.
We had some phenomenal tours
including exploring the wonderful
and historic Dublin city, golfing at Old Head, Falconry in Co Kerry, and a
private cruise off the Dingle Peninsula.
Your Culinary treats were out of this world. We can't stop telling our friends that
they need to visit you when
they travel to Ireland.
Thanks for the most memorable
and special time we spent in Ireland....
and that is saying a lot
Our pictures will follow.
Thanks so much again!
Hope to visit again in the future!
Best of Luck to you and the farm
Bob, Kim, George, Susan, Bill and Tina.
