We had a lovely stay in your home, Mairead. It was the perfect calming respite from our hectic Dublin life. Our six-year old son quite enjoyed searching the water with your binoculars from the huge panoramic window downstairs, looking for passing ships, seagull meetings, dolphins...and the Loch Ness monster (on holiday in the Shannon estuary!).
The upsatirs master bedroom is cosy and peaceful and it was nice to have the sitting area with the TV/DVD just outside it for the kids to have their holiday TV treat (no TV at home). And the kids had a grand time bathing in the large upstairs bath. Another holiday treat for them as we only have a shower in ours.
Labasheeda is lovely little village and an excellent place to venture further afield to Kilrush, Kilkeel, Doonbeg, Loop Head, etc. We only managed the first three this time and will hopefully make it out to Loop Head on our next visit. With horseback riding and a visit to the Vandeleur Walled Gardens in Kilrush on Saturday and then the beaches at Kilkee and Doonbeg on Sunday, we used up our weekend quickly.
It was lovely to meet Tom and your lovely daughter, too. Both were very warm and most hospitable. Hopefully we'll see you all again sooner than later.
Sláinte!
Daniel & family
