We've just returned from a very special 23 day visit to Ireland. Mary's place was an ideal basecamp from which we could explore much of Ireland and its farthest reaches by camping in our tent. It was a perfect match for us, to combine nights under canvas with all of the creature comforts of Mary's clean, modern and well appointed apartment. Where we slept like logs!
As much as we enjoyed and will treasure the beautiful landscape and the rich and diverse heritage and culture of Ireland, our fondest memories will truly be of our time spent with Mary, Eamonn and family, and super-family-friendly "Buddy the dog".
Our 10 year old son bonded instantly with Buddy and they spent many a happy hour together in the generous garden. We visited local hurling matches, within easy walking distance, where we were gratefully introduced to the rules and art of hurling. And our son was invited to play ball games with the family on the lawn.
They took us in with open arms/paws and their genuine friendliness, generosity and hospitality knew no bounds.
Our son gave the holiday 10-out-of-10. Now what review could be better than that!
