It was a lovely stay at John and Mary's place. The place is just as described, however, I would recommend this stay only for people with a vehicle. The public transport options in Aughrim are limited or non-existent. Therefore, it will cost about $35 one way to the closest bus stop in Arklow (if you can manage to hire a taxi, which was also a challenge), which makes it a bit more expensive and difficult for folks without a vehicle who normally take public transport. With that said, if you have a car, do not hesitate! Aughrim is a lovely town with lots of walking trails, a beautiful little lake, several nice places to eat, and friendly people. John was a fantastic host and will make you feel immediately at home.
