3 days and nights in this beautiful sanctuary — not enough time — we didn't want to leave.
We were greeted so warmly by Meg & Mike, thank you! We appreciated the way they took the time to show us how everything in the cottage worked. And they had a lovely welcome basket of food in the fridge for us (because yes, we were weary and hungry after our long drive) and the warm scones with Irish butter — yum!
It's so beautiful there — they did a great job building this beautiful sanctuary. And the design of it has even given us wonderful ideas to improve our own home! And what a great welcome binder of information they had too — we read it cover to cover and enjoyed all of their recommendations.
We also loved our interactions with Meg & Mike. They were very respectful of our privacy but were also open to chat and visit when we were. They're very great, warm folks!
And the cows! Big highlight! It was fun watching them from the bedroom windows and being "city folk tourists" as we gawked at the cows walking by — they're so close — it was a lot of fun for us. And we even made "friends" with the local sheep dog down the road. So much fun!!
We'll definitely be staying in the Sanctuary again — that is, if they're not all booked up the next time we come to Ireland — the beauty and amazingness of this place is bound to catch on! (...especially if more people write glowing reviews... damn, those glowing reviews.) ;)
