I was immediately welcomed by Allaye, who patiently waited for me and my father as we traveled the west coast of Ireland to find our way in Glenties by the late evening. She was kind and warm, and immediately offered us something to drink after our travels. Throughout the week, Allaye and I had great conversations, and she even offered to drive me to town (I didn't have a car while in Ireland). Allaye is a remarkable host, and values good conversation as well as solitude. We spent many mornings together, and I also had plenty of time to wander quietly through the meadows, or write in the perfect quiet of Lough Anna Cottage. This is a worthwhile place to visit - especially if you value quiet country life. I am so glad I stayed here! I'll remember it forever.
