My first trip to Ireland was everything I hoped for, not in small part because of Brid. She is a delight, and a natural host, engaging and helpful. I particularly enjoyed breakfast time (thanks for the bottomless pot of strong coffee!) where Brid's family and other guests would gather around for leisurely and interesting conversation. I highly recommend Brid to anyone who wants to explore the real Ireland with real Irish people. Oh, and the room was perfect - very clean and comfortable.
