From a farmhouse with a magnificent view of the sea to a grand castle that seems to be frozen in time, both inside and out, these buildings look like they belong on postcards, but they are, in fact, warm and welcoming family homes. In Romantic Irish Homes, Robert O'Byrne offers a glimpse inside 15 of Ireland’s finest examples of domestic architecture with glorious photographs of their interiors, quirky personal details and magnificent gardens. Many, such as a modest family home which was built out of the stones of a ruined towerhouse in 1743, are as lovely as when they were newly built; others have been restored to their former glory after centuries of neglect—but they’re all as charming as the lovely Irish countryside.
