We had such a lovely time in Francis' house and the surrounding areas.
The house
Nellie's is even nicer in person, we were very happy when we opened that front door! It has all the lovely quirks of a 200 year old house but with every modern convenience and comfort you could ask for. A very warm and comfortable house with plenty of space, a fully stocked kitchen with very modern/high quality oven/hob/grill made it a pleasure to cook in. The sitting room was very comfortable with large TV. The porch is where we spent most of our time in the mornings and evenings, such a lovely warm and peaceful spot.
The area
We explored what seemed like the whole peninsula, its a beautiful area, we were spoiled for choice for walks (great tip in Francis's welcome book for a local walk was a highlight), as many beaches as you could ask for (Stradbally beach is within walking distance of the house and we practically had it to ourselves every morning) and restaurants within 2.5 miles (Castlegregory) or right next door!
The info booklet provided by Francis was a great help for local tips and info. We had a really lovely time and would happily return and recommend.
