Our host was magnificent! When we return to Ireland we hope to return to Kate's magical home. When we arrived after a long day of driving, we were greeted with lovely local snacks and even a warm whiskey with lemon and clove! We felt at home. We spent a lovely Christmas there cooking in the well-supplied kitchen and wandering the grounds. We thoroughly enjoyed our chats with our host and the lively conversation with Joe. Thanks for the books! We have all been reading aloud to each other. Who would have thought a valuable history lesson would come with the lodging. Thank you both for your generosity. Your home is lovely, spacious, and the perfect spot for Christmas. Thank you.
