We booked for the New Year back in July and then watched all our plans dissolve as Covid took hold. There were to be 6 of us, three couples, but we ended up with just ourselves being able to travel in the narrow Covid gap after Christmas.
We arrived in a howling gale, to this discreet hideaway - the highest house in the south of Louisburgh- where Irene had thoughtfully arranged for us to be able to access the house early. The house was toasty warm and sparkling clean .
The weather improved over the next few days and, while we were frequently caught out in showery squalls on our daily much varied walks, we knew we had our warm haven waiting for us.
The house is very well equipped- important when we had no pubs or restaurants to visit.
Whenever I could, I took up pole position in the chair in the living room overlooking Louisburgh where I could watch the mountains, Clew Bay and the ever changing skyscape that is so uniquely West of Ireland.
The house is a delight and we hope to return.
