Dan is welcoming and warm - with a great book & cd collection. I really enjoyed chatting with Dan about his job, the books he writes & his love of islands. It was lovely to sit in the garden with the honeysuckle and a glass of wine. Cork city centre is walking distance from Dan's house. Dan is a very accommodating and thoughtful host. I spent the first night alone in his house as he had planned a trip away - it was lovely to be trusted by a stranger to be left alone in his house!
