This was our family's first Airbnb experience and wow..what a start.
I hope I can do our hosts Sara and John and their amazing home/accommodation, justice here in my review.
As many others have said in their reviews Sara and John amazing hosts.They are so friendly and extremely helpful. They both welcomed us with big smiles and sincere kindness.
We were made feel so at home straight away.
They both went to great lengths to explain everything about our accommodation, the surrounding area and nearby beaches/amenities. They then assured us that we could call on them at any time if we needed them for anything.
They and their family live in the main part of the house and the accommodation area is a very private guest space.
Their home is so beautiful and peaceful..set in the countryside but just a short drive from Rosscarbery, Glandore, many other villages, towns and beaches.
Our room was spacious, very clean and the beds were so comfy. It had a lovely ensuite and a fab shower.
We had good wifi and Sara even offered to try to improve the signal strength if we needed it but this wasn't needed.
If you're trying to get away from wifi and tech, you will find a copy of John's very own book " Quondam " in your room.
We started to read it and realised immediately that this is a very special book, telling a fascinating story of a unique real-life journey. It is available to buy if you feel interested but there is absolutely no hint of a hard sell here at all. We did buy it and we are so glad that we did. It is also very generously available to read entirely free of charge during your stay. Thanks for signing it John and for giving us your time when I'm sure you had other things to be doing.
Next to our room, we had the use of a guest kitchen area with all the facilities we needed. There was milk in the fridge for us on arrival , a selection of breakfast cereals, coffee, and a variety of teas for our use.
Each morning we walked around the organic farm along the trickling stream. We listened to the birds chirping and then we met the hens !! They came out excitedly to greet us in great numbers which was so funny. It was a delight to see them free to roam around their surroundings with so much space to do so.
A few minutes later we came across the farm beehives. Again this was great to see. As most people know, Ireland and other countries has suffered a huge bee population decline, so it is always good to see efforts being made to help counteract this.
We were offered the free use of kayaks and paddle boards also when we were going to the beach. We didn't avail of them this time but maybe another time !!
It was a short stay for us here but we loved every minute of it.
We took away many great memories as we left, so thanks again Sara and John for everything.
You both have a passion for life and for the service you provide....which is just perfect.
