If you are in Cork, you should definitely stay with Gem! :) Never had such a helpful, kind and welcoming host like Gem! She has the best tips for your stay in Ireland! Her house is so lovely, the bed was so comfortable that you have the best dreams and she even offers everything you might need in the bathroom. And the breakfast (oh my god, the breakfast!) she even went to a second shopping when she heard we were vegan! :) breakfast was perfect, we had a great chat with Gems lovely mum and loved the sweetest three chickens, which are the pets of Gem and live in her garden. We would have stayed one more night if it had been possible, but so we will on our next time in Ireland. :)
