Chris and Orlaith were absolutely delightful hosts. Everything at the house was exactly as in the pictures. In fact there were pleasant surprises at every turn.
Breakfast was a feast, featuring daily home-baked bread, grains, juices, tea and coffee and a variety of local jams and yoghurt. During the day they were always around to put on a kettle whenever we needed.
They struck a perfect balance of making us feel welcome and at home, while making the stay feel private enough for us to enjoy our vacation. They were readily available whenever we needed them, but there was plenty of privacy.
Their recommendations for food were excellent. Especially the restaurant "Taste Matters" in Loughrea. They also recommended great day trips, and told us about some hidden gems that only a true local would know about.
Even though we were on our honeymoon, we were delighted to have shared the space with the wonderful people, and were sad to have left as soon as we did.
