John and Catriona were superlative hosts. They provided a beautiful space, homemade scones and other treats, and helpful local recommendations for places to hear music and eat. We also really appreciated their "above and beyond" thoughtfulness in anticipating our needs by lending us an extra walking stick and rain pants so we were able to hike confidently in The Burren on a possibly rainy day (fortunately the rain held off) without slipping and sliding.
