Bean and Irene are who you hope you will get as a host! They are warm, caring, engaging, and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. They will also share with you all the local tips about where to eat, shop, and visit. Our visit was not under the best circumstances. My wife had come down with a respiratory infection two days into our two week vacation. Irene was so sweet to bring her an Irish remedy. Another day she shared some of her daughters delicious birthday cake with us. As a special treat, Bean showed us where we could watch an endangered species of bat leaving and returning to their nest. It turned out to be one of many unexpected highlights of the trip.
