Staying at Pauline's house was a great decision. The room was beautiful, bed comfortable, bathroom amazing, and what luxury to have a balcony to myself! I really liked being able to potter about and help myself to (lovely) breakfast, and felt really relaxed in the house. Pauline was great fun and made me feel so welcome. I was travelling alone and spent a couple of days waiting for my hapless family to arrive/killing time after they left, and I really enjoyed putting the world to rights with Pauline. If I ever go back to Cork, I'll definitely be back there.
