I didn't actually make it to John's place, as I was travelling alone and was invited to stay with a wonderful Irish family on my way to The Hideaway. I spoke to John on the phone to let him know I was a little nervous about being able to find it and he was very kind to offer to meet me to guide me there. I would have loved to have seen it but.....I highly recommend Ireland to anyone. There live the MOST friendly folks in the world! (And I've been all over).
