The four of us stayed at the Benwiskin Centre in early April for one night. We found the accommodation to be very good - very well stocked kitchen, lovely rooms and large common areas. We were really impressed to see the high level of recycling and sustainable practices that go on at the Centre - grey water systems, rubbish sorting facilities etc. This is definitely a draw for staying here.

My one complaint would be the distance out from any major town. It is close to Kinlough Village which has a small supermarket, but other than that it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. This would make it a great location for a school class camp or perhaps corporate teambuilding retreats, but not so good for holiday makers. As it was, we stayed there as a stopover on the way from Cork to Ennis. We would not have stayed there for any more than that.

Overall we had a pleasant stay and would reccommend the Benwiskin Centre if the reason for staying there was appropriate. more
