Staying at Avril and Wayne's place was such an incredible, life-changing experience. I stayed there for a month, focusing on songwriting on their piano. The place was very well-equipped, super cozy and comfortable, with a wonderfully, well-stocked kitchen full of light and windows (which you want in the colder months along the Irish coast). The master bedroom was very bright with a very comfortable bed and pillows, and the shower was always instantly hot and lasted for as long as you needed. I used space heaters and the woodstove to heat up the living room area, getting firestarting logs at the local Lidl in Bantry. I walked a ton from the house, up and down the peninsula, to/from Kilcrohane, down to the pier, and took day trips to the Mizen Head peninsula, Killarney National Park, Glengariff Woods and up to Blarney Castle and Kinsale. Most of all, Wayne was such a wonderful person to get to know (he was the person to welcome me), and very responsive & generous. Would love to return!!
