BOOK THIS PLACE! It has a 5 star rating for a reason. :)
When we first arrived Alan greeted us and we talked to him for a little while about his life and the property. It was lovely to get to know a bit about the property and about him. He made us feel very welcome and told us to explore the grounds and enjoy. We did explore and were able to visit with his goats, chickens, and sheep. We also were able to see and get close to his neighbors cows that walk along Alan’s property. We enjoyed watching the cows in the morning from the balcony.
The River walk was very nice at dusk and we did this one of the evenings of our stay (we stayed 3 nights). The grounds around Alan’s home are absolutely beautiful and he has done lots of landscaping and added lots of flowers, trees and decor to make it one of a kind.
Finally the bnb feels comfortable and inviting. Alan has done everything to make this space feel like a home. It’s a small space but perfect for a single person or a couple. We found it to be perfect for us and a great use of the space. Alan was so kind to leave us a fridge full of goodies like farm fresh eggs, bread, butter, jam, juice and yogurt. He even later gave us a small jar of honey that he got from his bees before we left.
In the kitchen he also has plenty of utensils, pots, pans and everything you would need for meals. Behind the cooking area in the kitchen there are stools to sit and eat while enjoying the view. Then upstairs was our favorite with the chairs, couch and outdoor sitting area to enjoy the view a little higher up with a cocktail at night. The door that leads to the balcony does not have a shade and we liked how it let in a lot of light first thing in the morning into the room.
We loved staying here and would absolutely stay here again. Great value for an extraordinary place. Thank you Alan for making our stay in Ireland so wonderful! :)
