Could not have asked for a lovelier stay! Simon and Emer were very helpful and exceedingly patient with my ever-changing (unavoidably so!) arrival. As others have noted, the goodies in the fridge were so appreciated as I was too exhausted from the trans-Atlantic journey even to make it to Tesco, just up the road. And a special note of thanks for Emer's warm and gracious hospitality toward my friends' three kids who were visiting me one afternoon while the parents were getting some much-needed R&R. When my friends -- who were staying in a cramped one-room just up the road for the same price -- came by to pick up their kids and saw the place, they wanted to trade places with me. Needless to say, that didn't happen. I was willing to babysit but not give up the creature comforts! Thanks ever so much, Simon and Emer!
