Des and Margaret were excellent hosts! We stayed with them for our first night in Ireland, and they were incredibly kind and welcoming. As soon as we arrived they offered us tea and scones and gave us ideas of places to shop and eat. Their home is about 10 minutes walking distance from the city center of Swords, which has tons of options for food, shopping, and coffee. We only spent a few hours total with them, but Des and Margaret welcomed us as if we were long lost relatives. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Ireland, we will definitely be booking with them!
