Winter 2015 Refurbishment Works at Millknock Farm Self-Catering

Unfortunately the house will not be available for breaks this winter. Starting on the 1st of November this year the house will be undergoing extensive refurbishment works. The house will be available for holidays again from the 1st of March next year, and you can book your Spring/Summer 2016 break in the new look house now! Prices for 2016 are now up on the website at www.millknockfarm.com/Prices.html
The living room will be getting an entirely new look for 2016. The old chimney is coming out to be replaced by a smaller modern chimney, which will make the room slightly larger, and will also make the bedroom above slightly larger. The old timber floor will be replaced with a modern, insulated, concrete floor to make the room warmer. Finishing touches like the new fireplace, floor covering and paint colour are yet to be decided on... suggestions welcome!!
Stage 2 of the refurbishment works will see the kitchen chimney (which measures approximately 1.9m x 3.3m) demolished to make the house bigger. A new, larger, kitchen will be installed, and an extra shower room will be added upstairs.

Harvest 2015

Summer time is harvest time on the farm, and this year it was wheat growing in the fields.

The harvesting began in the morning with hazy sunshine in the skies.



And finished in the evening as the sun set.

New for Summer 2015!

The holiday home may be located in the Sunny South East of Ireland, but we do still get an occasional rainy day. With this in mind, a Playstation 2 and a selection of games was provided in the house for children to use when the weather was not suitable for playing outside. Unfortunately, the time has come to say goodbye to the old Playstation 2 console.... and hello to a new Playstation 3 console! A selection of games are also provided to go with the new console. It can also be used to play DVDs and Blu Rays, and with high speed internet available in the house you can access your Netflix account.
