The only word to describe the Sanctuary and the interaction/experience with Meg/Mike, is perfect. Prior to our stay, Meg/Mike did a great job communicating what to expect on our arrival and giving great directions to their secluded gem of a place. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm smile and a tour of the Sanctuary (along with a few freshly made pastries and somewhat stocked fridge to get the trip started). All the finishing touches of the place are modern/updated (great linens, great shower/bathroom, great TV, bluetooth speakers) except intentionally for the best part: the Fireplace. They even give detailed instructions of how to start/use the fireplace. There was something magical about being able to look out the window at a beach with surrounding cliffs, know that you're out on the Dingle Peninsula (wonderful btw) and sitting by a self-made fire, hearing the cracks of the flame. For us it was especially a memorable trip/experience because we brought our 9 month old for his first international trip and Meg/Mike made it so comfortable for our little family (provided high chair and baby pack-n-play). Can't recommend the place more...our only regret is our stay was so short, we will hopefully be back there again in the not so distant future.
