Noreen was just great as a host. She was extremely friendly responsive to all messages and was available by phone or text to help us find our way and sort out minor issues. She arranged for someone to meet us when we arrived, and to show us through the house. The plumbing in rural Ireland is a bit challenging for those unfamiliar with it, but after an we were up and running with loads of hot water in no time. Noreen was also very knowledgeable about the area and recommended some wonderful walks and viewing spots.
