Richard was a great host! He was nice enough to store our bags before check-in, let us check in early and even brought our luggage up to the bedroom for us.
Each morning at 9am, Richard would give us a small picnic basket filled with warm croissants and berry jam for breakfast. He bakes them himself so that was a very nice added touch.
Negatives - you do have to walk down a small flight of stairs (outside) to get to the bathroom. If you’re looking for a nice hot shower after a long day, this probably isn’t the place for you. Since the bathroom is outside, it does get chilly in there although there is a heater attached to the wall. The water pressure isn’t strong in the shower and you have to fiddle with the temp to get it just right.
Also I hope you had a good set of legs, because you have to climb 127 steps up St. Patrick’s Hill, then up a steep driveway, then up a small flight of steps to get to your room.
This was an amazing experience for us (even a little out of our comfort zone!) and we would definitely recommend this place!
