I had a lovely time at Kay’s house. Irish country house, long on charm and comfort. Her sunporch was a great place to doze away jet-lag, and watch the sheep, cows, birds, and trees enjoying a summer day. Tara Hill is visible from her back door, and just a five-minute drive away. Kay was gracious, welcoming, flexible, and I truly felt treated as a guest. I arrived exhausted and was immediately ushered into the warmth of the kitchen (Saint AGA!) and given tea. I left with a full water bottle, fresh lemon slices, and strawberries, and directions on how to best get to my destination. In between I felt welcomed and cared about. Food is delicious, generously supplied. Bedroom was lovely, with huge windows framed by a garden view. Mattress was super-comfortable. Everything was clean and neat as a pin, and I felt free to do whatever made me happy. Super-host material.
