Cooking Classes with Ireland’s leading chef are a truly special occasion. I have attended quite a few around the country but Neven’s always stand out. For several reasons.
1. The location~ the cookery school annexes
2. The Staff ~ Each and Every member of the staff have that Irish Hospitality and warmth.
3. Detail ~ The attention to detail is everywhere. From the handbook they give you with recipes, to your cooking set up. When we sat down, someone was on hand to make your coffee to order snd nothing was too much for them.
4. Neven ~ Not forgetting the man himself, Neven. The person you see on tv is the person you get. Kind, warm and a good teacher.
MacNean House & Restaurant is located in the village of Blacklion, County Cavan. It is said that there is a lake for every day of the year~ 365 lakes. It is a spectacular county filled with walking trails, lakes and outdoor adventure. #rachelsrealireland #ireland #nevenmaguire
If you are in Dublin and looking for a wonderful day trip, then consider visiting

As my oldest turns 30 tomorrow, I’ve been reflecting on when my husband and I moved to this country 29 years ago with him as an infant. We were going to stay for maybe 2 years. We knew NO ONE. Everything was new and we had to learn so much but most of all, learn to assimilate. I have been thinking a lot today about how much we have accomplished as a family of 4. was born in 1997 (the only one born here!!)
I would just like to say, we have met the most wonderful people. My American journey still continues but will always remember what Emmy Award Winning producer said to me, “Your an American Mom with an Irish Soul” thanks Bob and thank you to all the wonderful people here who make our lives so much better.

County Wexford
Last month I was visiting Wexford and perched along the wild Hook Peninsula is Loftus Hall, said to be The Most Haunted House’ in Ireland. I knew the tales of this eery property but dared not go further than this spot where I took this footage from.
Its legend dates back to the 18th century, when a dark stranger arrived and formed a connection with the daughter of the house, Anne.
A few days later, when the family played a card game, Anne dropped her card and bent to pick it up, she saw the stranger had cloven hooves.
The stranger vanished in a flash of fire when his true identity was revealed.
Afterward, Anne was said to have gone mad. Her family locked her away in a secluded room at the top of the house, known as the Tapestry Room where she eventually died.
Through the years, the Hall’s ghostly reputation only grew, strange footsteps, slamming doors, and sightings of a mysterious woman wandering the grand staircase. Said to be the ghost of Lady Anne Tottenham.
In 2014, the TV series aired their paranormal investigation from Loftus Hall capturing unexplained voices and cold spots in the hallways.

I spend about four months each year traveling across Ireland, staying in hotels, driving the routes ahead of my clients and dining out. Not every property earns a place on my recommended list, but on this particular evening, September 27th, I was lucky enough to be taken for a birthday dinner by my friend and this property truly impressed me.
In Gorey, County Wexford, certainly captures that rare combination of warmth, heritage, style and high standards.
Once the property’s potting sheds and coach house, now The Duck Terrace & Restaurant, these beautifully restored stone buildings open onto a sandstone terrace overlooking a kitchen garden brimming with herbs, soft fruits and roses.
I loved how The Duck Terrace and Restaurant is seamlessly woven into the hotel’s historic fabric (rather than the many modern appendages I see sadly added on to other historic properties)
I did not spend the night (I will return) but as I walked the hotel, every detail was impeccable and the staff’s professionalism was evident. It’s not difficult to see why it’s a property. Their standards are high.
Properties like this, remind me why I travel the way I do, to find the Ireland that still takes your breath away.

The Oldest Operational Lighthouse In The World
Last month, I visited in County Wexford. My tour guide, Noel brought this lighthouse to life for me. Sharing tales of William Marshal, perhaps the Greatest Medieval Knight in History, Oliver Cromwell and the monks who kept the fires burning to save seafarers.
This was and is a treacherous spot in Irish waters because of what is known as ‘The Confluence of 3 Waters’ whereby the Rivers Barrow, Nore and Suir all flow into the Estuary.

Once upon a time, before the was the 5 star it is now, it was the home of Dr Arthur Price, Archbishop of Cashel. )
Dr Price was the Godfather to a little boy named Arthur Guinness. When Dr Price passed away in 1752 he left Arthur 100 pounds and with this 100 pounds, Arthur Guinness opened a small brewery in Leixlip, Co Kildare. 4 years later he signed a 9,000 year lease for his new brewery premises at St James Gate in Dublin.
While staying here at The Cashel Palace Hotel, allow time to discover the stories and history over the centuries.
