I intended to stay at Aras GCC and the minute I walked in, realized I'd be there for a few days. The location is stunning with beautiful hikes just outside the door; the rooms are spacious, clean and cozy; there's a good sized living-dining room to curl up in by an always blazing fire after a hardy day of going up Slieve League or walking the surrounding towns; and Paul...great host. Warm, discreet with a subtle sense of humor. Great suggestions regarding what to visit, AND his recommendations and itineraries are even weather specific! Paul is always readily available and happy to help with all sorts of requests (even some transport if you don't have a car!) Apparently he makes killer breakfasts as well, but didn't get the chance to experience it. Looks like I'll have to go back! You can even get your laundry done for 5€! Luxury for the weary traveller.
