The former home of Film Director John Huston, who described it as "A Wonderful Haven". This classic Georgian Home has been beautifully restored by entertainer Merv Griffin. So discreet, it is parceled by ancient trees, rolling countryside, grey stone walls and the Dunkellin River with its two waterfalls. The 12 Guestrooms reflect the grace and splendor of the eighteenth century. The domed entrance hall leads to a sumptuous dining room that was the celebrated haunt of Hollywood celebrities. In bold contrast the elegant drawing room with Chilean Sunburst. A large very comfortable library provides a relaxing retreat with great privacy, while open fires throughout the house contribute to the atmosphere of warmth and serenity.
