We had the absolute best time staying at John and Katrina’s home. The house is gorgeous, roomy, impeccably clean, and lovingly restored. There were just two of us, but this would be a fabulous place to stay with a larger group. We made good use of the huge kitchen, and John left us some fuel for a fire one evening, which was magical (especially as the house was decorated for Christmas)!
John was an exceedingly welcoming and helpful host. We found a common interest in music when he showed us around the house at check-in, and he was kind enough to get us into a very special live show in nearby Newcastle West, where we had a once-in-a-lifetime night with the locals at Cleary’s Bar!
We were initially attracted to the house because of its central location — it’s the perfect home base for a few days, with everything from Galway to Dublin just a reasonable day trip away. But we’ll return with friends and family because of the people we met and experiences we had. What an incredible place!
