We had an amazing time in Lillian's Tigin Aerach.
The house was charming, a country cottage meticulously maintained with all the amenities. Lillian provided everything we needed to get started. and she even arranged for 3 weeks of bright sunny weather. I hadn't known that sun screen was an essential part of preparations for Ireland. The main bed was was firm and comfortable, and our guests liked the smaller rooms as well. We didn't cook extensively, but we had all we needed in the kitchen, though I might not want to try to cook a Thanksgiving feast in it.
The views on the walks around Ring are amazing and there seemed to be a different activity happening every day: the run back and forth along the Connegar spit, the open ocean swim across the harbor to Helvic, the walk through the harbor at low tide, music at Mooney's or one of the other nearby pubs.
Dungarvan is just a few minutes (some a bit harrowing for those of us used to wider roads) drive away and is a lovely town. The Greenway is a great resource for walking and biking, the castle is free. There's lots of places to eat there but there's not much more than Mooney's pub in walking distance from the house itself.
Lots of sights nearby: Ardmore with history going back to the 5th century and St Declan; Dromona House and Lismore castle, both still in families associated with the uppermost English gentry; Helvic Head which still has working fishing boats, ....
Everyone starting with Lillian that we met was friendly and helpful. We really had a great time here and Lillian's house was a wonderful base of operations.
