Mick and Shay made us feel very welcome and basically let us use their home as we would our own. Their house is gorgeous and the facilities very luxurious. We can honestly say the bed is the comfiest we've ever slept in! They have a lovely dog too, who was very friendly and gentle. They were informative and gave us all the information we needed, and more.

Its a quiet neighbourhood some way out of town just off the sea front. We didn't use public transport to get into the city, but gather it is quite an easy route. We decided to walk - its a great walk along the sea front for the most part. If you're into wetland birds, it is also a great bird watching spot. I only wish I could have taken my binoculars in my hand luggage!

On our first night, when we didn't fancy cooking or going out, we phoned up the restaurant at the end of the road - Bay. They do a collection service and the food was ready for us to pick up within 15 minutes. With a two minute walk back it was still nice and hot to have in the comfort of Mick and Shay's kitchen/dining room. And it was delicious.

There are other restaurants and take aways and pubs all within walking distance. And there is a great supermarket, Nolans about 20 minutes walk away. We were pleasantly surprised to find how easy it was to cater for special diets, such as gluten free and lactose free - loads of options in restaurants and in the supermarket and everything is very well labelled.

We would definitely recommend this place and the hosts, and we will definitely be back. Thank you guys. :)
