Where to begin? My stay here was quite possibly the highlight of my 8 day tour of Ireland. From pre check-in to post check-out, everything about this place was flawless. Maria was easy to communicate with leading up to check-in and gave us precise directions on how to find her place. As we drove in it did not take long to realize that the area surrounding the home (the Gap of Dunloe) is one of the most beautiful landscapes in a country full of them. We enjoyed the drive in, and then on arrival Maria gave us many suggestions on places to see in the area. She even arranged for us to get a cab to explore the nightlife in Killarney - a fun little pub town. The morning we checked out, we had coffee and pastries at Maria's coffee shop, where we finally had the chance to meet her in person. We chatted for quite a while, sharing stories and getting to know each other, and she then offered us even more advice on how to spend the remainder of our time in the area/the country. Maria is a true gem, and my only regret is that I did not have a chance to stay and chat with her longer (we had to get on with our new itinerary). She is so kind and thoughtful, and it is evident that she genuinely cares about her guests having the best experience possible. I hope to come back again soon and stay for more than one night. Thank you again, Maria, and I will see you again soon! :)
