Paul made us feel welcome from the first minute we drove in the driveway. The house was exceptional, even better than expected. We loved the location in the country and being in part of the "restored estate" with the horses in the pasture nearby. Still, we were quite close to Tulla, a village with a good SuperValu for our shopping. The location was central to our excursions from the Cliffs of Moher and the Barren to the Rock of Cashel in Tipperary and the Shannon River. Joan also made us feel welcome with some basic breakfast supplies in the kitchen. Both hosts were lots of fun to talk to and available to answer our questions and give suggestions.
