We absolutely loved our stay- the lodging and our hosts! The space was even more charming in person- personal touches and comfortable but also uncluttered. There were original photos on the wall and fresh flowers in a vase when we arrived, along with ingredients for a fresh breakfast (the brown bread was amazing and we devoured it!), chocolates, strawberries and a bottle of wine. Riona and Paddy also provided peat for a fire and left us more starter blocks the next day. With a fully equipped kitchen, & washer and dryer, radio, and books to read, we were able to truly relax, make ourselves meals and feel at home while getting away from it all. The space has clearly been renovated with care and style (lovely tile throughout) and has a modern kitchen and bath; it's worth extra mention how incredibly clean everything was (spotless!).
Riona and Paddy were super welcoming without being in the least overbearing & we loved our chat in their kitchen one night over beers, with their cat and little dog. We've visited Ireland a number of times, but they recommended places to visit and roads to take that took us off the beaten track and allowed us to explore the area more.
The view from the dining table is of the mountains and the neighborhood is a perfect mix of being well-kept but quite rural so we had a lovely chat with the neighboring sheep farmer one evening out in the lane- the digital listing doesn't do the experience justice!
