Clare went out of her way to welcome us. When we arrived back in Dublin, to find that the castle that we had booked was back across Ireland, we called Clare. She had an opening for that night which took a lot of pressure off of us as where we were going to stay that night. We had booked two nights with her. She took us to the store and showed us where to buy discounted bus passes. She drove us to the Clontraf Castle one evening for drinks and then took us to Howth, the next day to show us the area. She was gracious, a delight to visit with. She helped arrange the taxi back to the airport when we left. The location was excellent and the bus back from downtown stopped about 200 meters from her door. The fixed dinner for us on our last night there, which was unexpected but thankful. Her rooms are not en-suite but we never found that to be a problem while we were there.
