First, I cannot recommend Eamonn's "room over a pub" highly enough. Our stay there was exactly as I had hoped. The room was small but very comfortable. It was centrally - perhaps perfectly -located in the town. And, the pub below was warm, friendly and welcoming - in fact, it felt like an extension of the room. Perhaps the only down side was that I didn't get to meet Eamonn who was, coincidentally, in America but his brother Bernard was a perfect host. If there are any "warnings" at all to be made it is that the pub itself sits on a relatively busy corner of the neighborhood so some street noise can heard at night - but it didn't bother me at all. All in all, I felt it was the perfect place to begin my first trip to Ireland.
