Maureen was very patient with my many questions for our first visit to Ireland, sharing lots of great advice and suggestions for our travels. She was a lovely and generous host, and the loft/studio was very charming, spacious and comfortable, with excellent beds and a well-equipped kitchen. The location was absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking view of Dingle harbor and the distant Skellig Michael, as well as just a quick walk to a small cove. Just outside of Dingle, it was only a short drive to enjoy the hubbub of town, then return to the wonderful peace and quiet of the cottage. The resident critters, Teddy the dog and Beeny the cat, welcomed us, too, which we greatly enjoyed, but they were quiet and unobtrusive. Sadly, we didn't get a chance to meet Molly the carriage horse, away in an upper field. We loved our stay so much that we added another day to our visit, though it wasn't nearly enough time to enjoy the lovely location and the pleasures of the amazing Dingle Peninsula. Maureen couldn't have been kinder, and if there was ever a way to manage it, I'd be back to stay for a month or two--!
