Fiona and Francis made our stay at the Albertine Lodge very special indeed.
We are a family of 6, including 4 adult children, who spent 2 nights in this beautiful country home. As a newcomer to Airbnb, I wasn't entirely certain what to expect. However, Fiona's superb communication skills spelled everything out so clearly that we had no worries whatsoever.
We were delighted to find a gift basket of delectable goodies when we arrived and the fridge contained fresh milk, butter and eggs for our first breakfast in the house.
Francis stopped by after we were settled in on the first day to explain some of the amenities. There are some tricks to getting a supply of hot water to all of the bathrooms. He invited us to use fresh herbs from the garden, which we did, and even encouraged us to cut a rose if we wanted fresh flowers on the table. My wife and I were planning to walk to Drumsna for the 9:30 am Sunday Mass but Francis advised us that the road might be too dangerous to walk for people unfamiliar with the area. He even offered to take us to Mass himself.
As regards the location of the home, it is a bit remote but several towns are nearby and are easily accessible by car. We chose the location due to its close proximity to my family's ancestral farm. We were able to pay a visit to the farm, even though we had to climb a couple of gates to do so. We were thrilled to find our roots in Ireland.
Lastly, Fiona offered us a late checkout time because the home wasn't booked for the day we departed. We would have loved to stay longer but our itinerary was set.
We would definitely stay here again and can recommend this home without reservation to any others considering a stay.
Thank you Fiona and Francis.
