Mary and Pat Sweeney are wonderful hosts. We spent our first two nights in Ireland at their farmhouse and felt so welcome. Their dog is adorable and will bring rocks for you to throw to him. Mary’s breakfasts are hearty and filling. The highlight of our trip was the walking tour of the Cliffs of Moher with Pat (which is included in the price of the stay). The stories he tells about growing up on those cliffs make the whole experience incredibly memorable. And walking the cliffs from sea level (leaving from Doolin) to the highest point at the visitor’s center beats getting off a bus and merely looking over the edge! What Pat and Mary do is something really special. They convey a love and passion for life and their homeland. One last thing: the pubs in Doolin have the tastiest fish and local cheeses and live Irish music!
