I cannot say enough good things about the Greengate and it’s host. The host was absolutely fantastic, extremely interesting, very hospitable, a wealth of knowledge, hysterical to talk to, and very gracious. The grounds are beautifully kept, the huts are cozy and comfortable. The views are spectacular and magical. If I could redo my trip I would do it again spending more time at the Greengate than anywhere else. This is the chance of a lifetime for anyone who has the opportunity to visit. It’s off the beaten path a little bit and a little different from your normal apartment or home, but if it’s peace and sanctuary you seek this is where to go. The host and the uniqueness of the property and its location make this a once-in-a-lifetime chance for many, except we really hope to come back again someday!
Typically, I tend to be introverted, but I really enjoyed talking to the host and learning all about the town and Ireland and the Greengate and it’s history. She was very gracious and very hospitable and a wealth of knowledge and fun to talk to. I could spend days just having conversations with her. She knew everything about the town and a ton of history about Ireland, and while she was not intrusive at all, she was always available to have a conversation, or answer our questions, or cook us a delicious breakfast. This is by far the best Airbnb experience I have ever had.
From her dog Bobby, to her horses Peggy and Sue and the host herself everything about this property and this day was perfect. I only wish I had more days to stay at the green gate.
Our children who traveled with us have promised that they will come back themselves when they’re older to visit her and I believe that they actually will, it was like magic for all of us.
When you’re at the green gate, Time stops, and all there is is peace and relaxation. The fresh smell of the peat fire, the warm pancakes and sausage, the Winnie of the horses on the hill, and of course Bobbie the rabbit slayer dog is a wonderful friend too. I could go on and on, but I guess I’ve said enough. If you’re considering staying here stop considering it and book it now because this is an experience you will not soon forget.
