11-18 Sept
Our family group of 6 adults loved the solitary setting of Gortavallig with so much space to scatter ourselves and our belongings! We've been rejuvenated by the fresh air and had fun traveling and eating together as we explored this unspoiled peninsula.
Some dipped in sea and lake; some watched a pod of dolphins at Ballydonegan beach; some built jigsaws and a few awoke one night to their own Dark Sky Reserve of the Milky Way, through the bedroom skylights.
Watching the deer was one thing- listening to their calls at night, quite another! Relaxing by the hopper fire-stove in the evenings was a treat and for the two "wrinklies" the rustic decor evoked wonderful memories of childhood holidays in the farm homes of family friends, many years ago!
