Simon & Natasha: We can't say enough good things about our stay (although brief), and An Lochta. It was the perfect initiation into the world of Air BnBs. Everything was clean and comfortable, and it your location is rural and beautiful. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation- so close and just what we were looking for. Also thanks for the jam and bread, which was gone pretty much before we even left for dinner. We left pondering even more about the Drumgool name, and referencing your kind bit of research. When my sister looked at her photo’s automatic geo-tagging later in the day, her iPhone labeled her photos from our stay as “Drumconrath-Drumgill.” Now that does also seem like a link to our family name. I also found out about (too late to visit, I’m afraid) Dromgoolestown, Droim Gabhail” in County Louth, located at geocode here: 53.865670, -6.437035. https://www.johngrenham.com/surnamescode/1911_deds_full.php?surname=Dromgoole
So thanks again so much for your hospitality and research. We really do hope to come back. – Sharon, Huckle, Paula, and Ken.
