The Cronin family couldn't have been more warmly welcoming! From the moment Molly (Shirley) and Maggie collected me from the bus stop until the moment I left their lovely home, I felt cared for. Yet they also gave me plenty of space and quiet to work on my writing in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. The nightly fire in my private sitting room felt and looked wonderful, (and even an afternoon fire on the one cold, rainy day). The breakfasts were generous and delicious, with tea/coffee and snacks always available. The big bedroom and ensuite bathroom have a view onto the garden and my sitting room had two windows looking across fields to Bantry Bay. The cleanliness exceeded every place I've ever stayed, including my own home. I look forward to staying again as soon as I can, hopefully next year. Thank you, Molly, John, and beautiful Maggie and Bella.
