OK folks, here's the deal: If you want to stay in a really nice house with 3 brs and 3 baths and get an incredibly authentic taste of Ireland, come stay at John and Betty's house in Listowel. It was the highlight of our trip when John took us to the local pub (John B's) and we got to experience an evening of local musicians, singers and storytelling that I will never forget. During Our stay the house was ideally situated to take day trips to Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsula, Galway and Cliffs of Moher and many other breathtaking Irish sites. Plan on making this your "home base" and you will have the trip of a lifetime. We found it extemely affordable and comfortable and I wish we had spent our whole trip at this location. Also, Listowel is a "market town" and has LOTS of great shopping, restaurants and Pubs. You could spend a couple of days right in Listowel and not see everything. John and Betty are immediately available if you have any questions, concerns or requests and take great care and attention in making sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. John was kind enough to review our itinerery for the week and tell us what was worth seeing and what to cross off the list and suggest further sites, restaurants and pubs that we might enjoy. When we had trouble with a rental car he gave us his cell phone to carry with us (for the whole trip!) so we could call for help is we needed to. Who does that? Like another reviewer I would giove them 10 stars if I could!
