Just an incredible stay! It's a dream-like, storybook home situated in a rural jaw-dropping maze of picturesque little roads that open onto huge pastoral vistas. We absolutely loved it, spending our time either hiking the gorgeous fields or soaking in the hot tub with a bottle of wine. Patti is a superlative host, attentive to every need (and anticipating them before you yourself know). A delicious dinner was provided (twice!), laundry handled, and we were recommended to THE most beautiful castle ruins in Ireland~ suffice it to say we would never have found Three Castle Head on our own. Cork is a beautiful part of the country and worth the drive. If you're on the fence, go!! It's the favorite memory of our entire trip. Now I want cows out my kitchen window at home... :) (To clarify: I only say it was 'a bit better than expected' vs. 'much better' because I had high hopes. Saying it was 'much better' would incorrectly sound like I thought it was going to be disappointing to begin with) Thank you again, Patti!! So nice to meet you and Chris.
