Dennis and Mairead 's home is a special place. Tucked up a knoll off the main road, it is a quiet and artistic retreat. Dennis' strong and thoughtful paintings gracing the walls, and the graceful simplicity of the furnishings offers one the experience of living in a well curated space. While Mairead was away, Dennis is a lovely and interesting host who is happy to share information and conversation over breakfast, or to leave you to your quiet. The house is a quick drive to town, Connemara National Park (beautiful walks!), Avoca's shop, and close by drives, hikes and restaurants. Thanks for our wonderful stay and the so comfortable big bed!
