I got married here last year, that same road still exists and if my geography serves me well the large building to the left of the picture in the distance is the original of the hotel we had our reception in, the only part of which remains is a ruin near the new hotel which was built by the Burke family who ran the original. And, as a matter of interest, in the days before our wedding there was a party for a member of that family who was 100 years old, so there's a good chance she was alive when this was taken!

Would you believe it rained non stop for the the two days before the wedding and on the day we got the best day of last summer, it was stunning. There's a picture from the day here.... www.flickr.com/photos/15960077@N03/6074650167/in/photostream

My mother's Irish family used to rent this house for the summer during the 1930s. I think it was called "The Retreat". Google Street View - g.co/maps/7esxy

Indeed it is known as the Retreat. It and its gateposts are meant to be preserved structures but the house has been substantially demolished; this is not a case of mere disrepair.

What a shame if it has been demolished: I lived there ~1943-1945, a time of early magic.
