Eleanor and her husband Mark are very polite, and they have a wonderful dog. The room was clean, as was the rest of the house. There was one moment where Eleanor was unhappy I went downstairs into the kitchen to get some water early in the morning, but I understand that's over COVID concerns. Breakfast is toast and cereal. You definitely need a car to get around Carlow as everything is very spread out. There is a pretty garden in the back, and again, Harry the dog is very friendly and affectionate.
