Staying at Bernie and Margaret’s house made our wedding in the Aran Islands the most perfect experience we could ever have wished for. From the moment we booked, Bernie made us feel welcome with helpful and friendly emails. We had never been to the Aran Islands before, so we had many questions. Bernie always responded quickly and was so helpful. I was worried we might have been too far away from our wedding ceremony location.... we need not have worried. Bernie helped us organise a pony and trap to transport us to the ceremony. What a way to travel to our wedding ceremony - it was fantastic. If you ever need a pony and trap tour, look for John Dirrane! He is the most pleasant gentleman who will make the experience so memorable with his Irish charm and kind and patient personality.
The day we arrived at the house, we felt as though we had arrived at a place from a dream. We met a kind man named Donal who offered to give us a lift with all our bags to the house. Checking in was straightforward and we were greeted with a beautiful wedding card and gift when we went into the kitchen. What a beautiful and thoughtful way to start our holiday.
The house itself and the views from every single window of the house were breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t stop taking photos. The house is immaculately clean, modern and stylish, yet ever so homely. We stayed from Friday to Monday and we were sad to leave - we would have happily stayed longer. It took us just under an hour to walk to Kilronan with two small children, but what a walk - the scenery is just amazing. Hiring bikes, booking taxis or pony and traps are easy enough to do too. We can’t thank Bernie and Margaret enough for making our wedding on Inis Mor the most memorable and enjoyable experience ever.
