What a welcoming host! Sinead was in touch via text and arranged to have her father escort us out to the farmhouse from Waterville. There was a wonderful fire going in the stove, and the house was equipped with everything you might need. Exactly as pictured and you can feel the family history in the house! We fell asleep to the occasional bleating sheep and wonderful country sunsets, views, and peaceful quiet. Her mother, Kitty, brought me a laundry basket and provided detergent so I could do a load of washing and she also popped by the next evening and gave the children driving lessons on the ATV (highlight for them!!)
We only stayed two nights but could have easily stayed longer. The wifi was the best we had had on our trip until then (and we had been in Ireland almost two weeks by then). We used the full day for an excursion out to Skelligs and the next we explored Valentia Island. 10 minutes from Waterville and services, 25 min from Portmagee and Valentia. Last little bit to the farmhouse is typically narrow Irish country road...You'll get the full Irish driving experience :)
You won't regret booking and staying...Sinead is studying tourism and a keen host!
