I had just arrived from the hustle and bustle of Dublin to this quite neighbourhood in Carlow. Was greeted by this very sweet lady who let me into her house and into her kitchen. She was schoked that I could not cook and proceeded to teach me how to cook pasta. I guess no other host would go through this trouble but Rose did. Her little dog lady was lovely as well, always happy to see me at the end of the day. Great stay and highly recommend.
