I cannot recommend this beautiful hideaway enough!
John, Aileen and the rest of their sweet family were very welcoming and always offering to help me how ever they could (information, car lifts, Wi-Fi etc).
The accommodation is beautifully decorated, very cosy and a lovely place where you can enjoy the surrounding nature (lush veg patch and cute donkeys, dogs, cats, cows, pigs and chickens) with home comforts.
One of the days the weather was really bad, so I enjoyed reading my book under the covers with a view of the green scenery and the companionship of the local cat. Very relaxing indeed.
I was travelling on my own and without a car, but the location of this "pixie house" as I call it, was great for hiking trips and a 20 min walk to the town centre. All very safe and easy to get around even if you don't have a car.
The hike to Carrowkeel is well signed and a wonderful change to the city scenery, and it goes through farm land, forests and isolated mountains.
I can't wait to return. Thank you John and Aileen for such an amazing break. And of course, thanks Aileen for your delicious scones!
