Carmel's place.
The best airbnb we've ever stayed in, by a country mile !
And made so, in no small part, by Carmel herself; one of life's utterly wonderful and unforgettable characters.
She is the most generous and affable of hosts and whilst your every comfort and convenience is her immediate concern, this is implemented in a comfortable and relaxed manner.
We loved conversation with Carmel as she is an erudite font of knowledge about Irish history both local and national ( and, actually, most other things too ) She's also hilariously funny with an almost rabelaisian sense of humour that absolutely cracked us up :)
Her house is in a gorgeous and peaceful spot and I sat out in the sun and just listened to birdsong. Inside the guest is amply provided for with an entire well kitted out kitchen to cook in.
Our room was lovely and comfy with an en suite that was superb. The shower also has fantastic water pressure !
The two animal stars of the show are Bella and Georgie. Little Bella is a pom x shih tzu, she's adorable and totally knows it, like a tiny teddy bear :) and Georgie, the ginger cat is a very cool dude. He's totally the meet and greet guy; all swaggering confidence, and raggedy eared charisma.
I honestly have no idea why Carmel charges so little for such amazing return. This is such good value.
We would happily book again but next time for longer.
Regards, Elaine and Chris.
