The house was nice and clean and close to Ballydonegan beach indeed. It is really a nice short walk. (Well, it was not that quick for us, but only because we took lots of fotos each time we passed by the beautiful old stone sheds on the way) What we also enjoyed was, that there was like a garden around the house and a table and bench, so we could have our meals outside. In the house was everything we needed for a stay of ten days. Its great that we could have a fire in the fire place. It’s so cosy. We did that only twice though. As we stayed over the Michel Dwyer Festival (Trad Music) we spent several evenings at the music sessions in Allihies, which were great fun.
Sheila is a super host. Soo friendly and helpful and absolutely relaxed with the check in and check out. She also helped us in beforehand with something that didn’t have anything to do with the house but with a concert, we wanted to visit.
We only missed a shortcut, a little footpath at least through a field, if you want to walk into town. The regular road to the per se close village is an extra way of about 2 km – no problem by car or by bicycle. But with a young child of 5 years we would have loved it to be a bit shorter. We walked it once. In the evenings however, when our daughter was tired, she would not have managed that.
The people in Allihies are great. We thank you all so much for a wonderful time.
