There aren't adequate words to describe the wonderful time we had at Deirdre's home, but I'll sure do my best! We came here for our second wedding anniversary, and our first since moving to Ireland from overseas. We've spent the last year doing holidays on our own, without family or friends to celebrate with. But we felt so thoroughly celebrated and welcomed for our anniversary that all those other holidays have been made up for! We simply cannot wait to go back.
The serenity of the countryside location was a welcome relief from a hectic life of work and study. Deirdre is a host and a friend all in one, with stories and wisdom that are complemented by unmatched hospitality. We were so comfortable in our room that we were hard pressed to leave it - but the amazing house and the surrounds that demanded to be explored convinced us otherwise! We took a walk around the grounds and along the road, read outside with some lemonade, and played with the cats. Even the cows across the road were hospitable!
And don't even get me started on the food. I could write songs about the food. Deirdre was born to cook - truly. Each dish was made with the utmost love and care. We fantasize about that chocolate mousse even now. From the breakfast (my life for Dierdre's brown bread and scones) to the most wonderful dinner ever put on, we've been ruined for every other culinary experience for life!
I cannot stress enough how wonderful this property is, and how wonderful Deirdre and her husband are as people. Our stay here was an experience that we will always cherish.
