Staying with Eleanor in her lovely home was truly a treat. She met up with us to make sure we found the place okay, provided us with tea and some snacks and wonderful conversation as we arrived. The room was truly wonderful with great natural light and wonderful air from the skylight window. The puppies were the most enthusiastic welcome party upon our arrival, which we loved as we are both huge dog lovers. The bed was exceedingly comfortable and the shower was a perfect way to wake up, nice and warm. Eleanor made us the most DIVINE scrambled eggs with brie and rosemary, and the eggs came from her own hens. Accompanying this was a great spread of yogurts, muesli, fresh fruit, and great bread, which was only made greater with her mother's amazing marmalade!

Eleanor gave us truly wonderful insight into the area around her house including Limerick and the beautiful village of Adare. She knows all the best routes and sights, what to REALLY see and what to skip. I wish I had spoken with her before I planned other parts of our trip, even!

Seriously, I do not have enough words to describe how much we loved our stay with Eleanor. We would love to come back, and for a much longer stay in the future!
