First, we were greeted by the cutest member of the welcoming committee: Bailey. She’s a six-year old retriever who has the best manners I’ve ever seen in a dog: no licking or jumping, simply wagging a tail and hoping to be pet! After winning over our hearts, we met the owner Ronan McCarthy. He is genuinely one of the most laid-back, humble and caring hosts we’ve encountered - a “soft” character whose family has started the business back in 1989. The house was also built by their father, John, who you may encounter doing chores - stately gentleman with a broad smile. Ronan’s wife Orla made sure we got what we wanted at breakfast - this too they prepare and serve themselves. A true “family-run” enterprise!
We had the room with the breathtaking sea view and couldn’t have been happier! It’s spacious, spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds. Staying here has improved our trip of Ireland immensely - thanks a ton, Ronan, Orla, John and Bailey!! =)
