I have stayed at many Airbnbs over the years, and this one was by far my favorite! We were a family of 8 (ranging in age from 20-76), traveling through Ireland for 10 days. After a week of being on the go and moving around so much, this was the perfect place to unwind and relax. Fred and Caroline are the best hosts ever...so friendly and accommodating. And Caroline's fresh-baked scones are amazing! They were quick to answer any questions we had, and provided great recommendations.
The house is a gorgeous restored cottage, so beautifully appointed and well-stocked. And the property is amazing. Totally quiet (except for an occasional bleating sheep!), and I could have just stared at the landscape for hours. There is a lovely walk to two beautiful lakes.
Though the house is in a very rural area, it does not take too long to get to other great places. Glenveagh Park is about a 45 minute drive. And Carrickfinn beach is about a 20 minute drive...and we all agreed this is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! We spend most of the day just enjoying the beach!
Since the weather and scenery we so lovely, we decided to cook dinner and dine on the patio. There was a charcoal grill to use, and the kitchen was extremely well-stocked and had everything we needed.
At night we drove into a small town nearby and heard traditional Irish music at Leo's pub (only about a 15 min drive.) A very lively and fun place!
Don't miss a chance to stay at Caroline and Fred's lovely cottage!!
