Mary Frances was an amazing host; the apartment is gorgeously furnished and decked out with all of the amenities you could possibly imagined. I had probably the best bath of my life in her jacuzzi and then played around on the piano for work. Her children even set out a box with different types of candy; literally adorable.

Burtonport is a remote little town that not even natives seemed to know about, but I highly recommend it; it's beautiful and remote, with nice and easily accessible beaches. Even in April on a rainy day it was divine; I went for a 4 mile walk before I even knew the time had gone.

Mary Frances picked me up at the bus station and was even available to drop me back off very early in the morning; not only that, but she took me into town to see dancing on one evening!

Can't recommend Hidden Gem enough; a true Irish town, true Irish hospitality, and an absolutely amazing bath. What's better than that?
