Staying at Gertie and Pat’s was one of the best things about our brief trip to Ireland. Pat greeted us upon arrival with a warm fire in the wood stove and a homemade apple tart from Gertie. The cottage was quaint, comfortable and had all we needed. The next morning we opted for breakfast and had the most lovely breakfast imaginable with Gertie. We walked in to a beautifully set table with a selection of juice, fruits, yogurts, muesli, granola and biscuits. We were pleased with such a delicious looking breakfast, but then Gertie told us she would also be bringing us porridge, bread, and a main course. My husband chose a full Irish breakfast and I had fresh eggs with herbs. Gertie had her own special toppings for porridge that were memorable. I would go back right now for another breakfast if I could! Gertie was such a lovely hostess and was also helpful with suggestions for our day. We would highly recommend a stay at Kilcannon house, a country home just a stone’s throw from the nice town of Dungarvan.
