Review of Gael and Garry’s place

We had a wonderful time at this slightly out of the way guest house in Mt. Temple. Gael and Garry are stupendously hospitable, even offering golf clubs to play at the very nearby course. Their golden retriever Oscar is evidently in on the plan, checking up at your door for a hello and head rub. If you don’t have dinner or breakfast plans, take Gael up on her offer to cook for you. She knows what she’s doing. Best breakfasts in our whole tour of Ireland. We visited the old monastery Clonmacnoise, the Clara Bog interpretive center and the Belvedere House and Grounds south of Mullengar for a nice day outside. That’s even without going into seeing the sights in Athlone.
