I couldn't recommend Valerie's place more highly to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and surprisingly affordable stay on the Irish coast. From the amenities to the amazing views, everything in the apartment was just as described, if not better in person. Valerie provided fresh scones for our arrival. :) And she had a Clannad record for us to play! A bonus for me, haha. She also had some great films on DVD like The Wind that Shakes the Barley.
Valerie herself was warm and helpful, even giving us a lift from the train station (although its a pleasant walk if you're inclined) and giving us a quick tour of the seaside town. The town itself was peaceful and adorable. The locals were super kind. If you get a chance, I'd recommend getting an ice cream with ferrero rocher sauce at the Storm in a Teacup stand and going for a walk along the beach. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
