We had such a great time staying at Joan and Paul’s. Joan greeted us right away and after hearing my husbands cough she was so sweet and brought over lemon and brown sugar for him to make a hot whisky as well as some cough medicine. The stables are so charming. We loved waking up to make breakfast (Joan and Paul had left eggs, butter, milk, fruit and coffee for us) and eat at the cute little table, it made me yearn for simpler times.
They had great recommendations for things to do in the area as well as some 1-2 hour drives to other cool things (we went to the cliffs of Moher, Galway and to see the Ashford Castle- you cant go inside the castle unless you book tea or dinner there btw)
We never actually met Paul but were grateful every time we came hone from a long day of exploring to find the fire blazing and the lights turned on for us.
It is a little out of the way so if you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you. If you’re looking to be more centrally located to all of the big tourist attractions you may need to go with one of the less charming places- we did have to drive over an hour to most of the things we wanted to see each day.
Over all we loved staying here and the stables had all of the necessities we needed and we are so grateful for the warm hospitality that we had from Joan and Paul!
