We really enjoyed our stay in Ward and Molly's home. This is a manor home from the 1830s that Ward renovated: beautiful plasterwork etc. This is a very low-key place in the tiny surfing mecca of Easkey, Ireland, with front doors unlocked and no formality. Ward and Molly are friendly and are great cooks. Look forward to their delicious breakfasts.

Don't expect a sterile hotel experience: the house can be tricky to find, the old doors and floors are a bit creaky. But at what hotel would you have an opportunity to join the owner for beers and learn about harvesting wild mushrooms in Lithuania or surfing in Sri Lanka?
