Nora May's place is all and more that it is described as on Airbnb. Off the main road down a country lane, the home is set amongst lush vegetation and tall trees. Alongside the home is their farmyard with ducks, geese, chickens, partridges and pear trees (seriously). I did not see any turtle doves but I expect they are there somewhere. Arriving wet and a little cold after a hike, I was delighted that my room was toasty. Nora May knows hospitality so the bedrooms and bathrooms have all the small details that some bed and breakfast places might not include in terms of linens, toiletries, and coffee/tea. Perhaps more importantly is the welcome from Nora, her neighbour and her husband; kind warm and personable, they remind you why the people who choose to live there, make rural Ireland such a special place. The feeling is that while you have never met them before, they have always been waiting for you. You are, are in fact, coming home.
The breakfast is multiple options of cereals , oatmeal (porridge), fresh fruit, traditional hot breakfast, toast/ fresh bread and I think five options of home made jam from plum to rhubarb, strawberry/banana to marmalade and beyond. The big attraction is the waterfall but with the banquet breakfast and the farmyard activity, I am embarrassed to say I never made it that far!
A lovely stay, don't miss out!
