Michael was a perfect host: guiding us to his beautiful home, greeting us with a cup of tea, serving as a spot on tour guide and rescuing a runner lost on the maze of country roads. Michael's home is a great spot to tour East Cork villages and to experience living in a small Irish village. We really enjoyed chatting with Michael after a long day of touring. Michael was always responsive, available when we wanted company and yet gave us plenty of privacy. My husband and I would return to his rustic, comfortable country cottage in a second. Staying here is a real experience. You leave having made a friend, chased some chickens and played fetch with a gentle dog who looks like a bear.
