Charleene and Breege are the perfect hosts, from the first point of contact through to waving goodbye ! Warm and welcoming, they had everything ready, with a lovely pastry selection and fresh milk for tea on arrival, extra turf and kindling for the fire during our stay – they made us feel like members of their family ! The house was spacious, spotless and fully equipped with all we could need; it’s on an elevated site, overlooking the Ardara peninsula with Maghera beach in front and the Atlantic off to the right; in front of the house, there's Murphy's paddock and beyond, green fields with cattle and sheep stretch off to the water - the landscape changes with the light as the day progresses and the weather develops; peaceful and relaxing we sat outside in the evenings, listening to the waves and watching the swallows, starlings and robins, until it became fully dark. An easy 10 minute walk brought us to a lovely quiet beach or 20 mins walk to the slipway. 25 minutes by car brought us to Maghera beach to explore the caves at low tide and marvel at the wide, pristine, sandy beach ! It’s a super location to either stop and just take in the surroundings or travel further and take in more of the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way.
We were very lucky to have great weather and spent a really relaxing few days at Charlene’s and Breege’s house.
Thank you, very much, to Charlene, Breege and family !
