What a simply wonderful place. The whole package. John is a fantastic host. The directions were spot on, and the key was left for my arrival as John was travelling to Dublin for the day. The cottage was spotless and all I had to do was light a match and the fire, already prepared was up and running. In fact the wee house is surprisingly warm without it. On his return, John's welcome was genuine including inviting me to join him for a pint at the local later in the evening. Popped along the road to Doolin for a hearty meal at McGann's Pub, again on John's recommendation. I was keen to stay another night - the scenery here is magnificent in its quiet strength and incredibly beautiful. Alas (but not surprisingly) someone else has lucked in and booked ahead of me. Next time!
