My friend and I stayed at Leon's just for the night (should be more!) and we are already planning the next trip back as one day was simply not enough to enjoy what the area has to offer, the cliffs, the beautiful beach nearby, and other villages.
My friend said she felt like a 'movie star' driving along beautiful meandering roads with her sunglasses on, playing nice music, surrounded by hills, wild flowers, lakes and the sea and stunning landscapes.
Leon was such a great host from the moment we booked, great and prompt communication, easy check-in, tea/coffee area and the useful local information he provided us.
We appreciated it very much. Leon's place has such a great view and we liked having breakfast outside and having a chat with him. It was a great place to discover.
Also, as I needed to work while there, wifi and the 1st floor bright sitting room was great. The only downside for me (nothing to do with Leon or his place) was that there was no mobile phone signal there for my work phone and my work included answering phone queries so I had to go to a village not too far from there to work the rest of the day. The area has Vodafone signal but other networks only work in certain spots. This might be useful info for someone who has to partly work with their phone while there but irrelevant for those who are there on a real break with no need to stay connected.
Leon's place was only a 10min drive from Carrick and close to other nice villages and of course the most beautiful beach!
Many thanks Leon for everything and for your warm nature.
