Brendan was a perfect host. I booked with him last minute and was expected to arrive to his house by noon. He wasn't available until after, so he assured me that his son would be home early to let me in. Once I got dropped off, his son arrived a minute after. He was very welcoming and showed me to my room. I was also greeted by Larson, the family's beautiful golden retriever.
The room was perfect and very comfortable and private. Everything was very clean and the bathroom was connected to the room to give more privacy.
The village is very calm and safe and when I walked down the street I ran into the beautiful historical Quin Friary which I spent three hours observing and taking pictures. Across from it is the Abbey Tavern which I enjoyed a nice beer and food.
Before checking out, I enjoyed a nice morning coffee with Brendan and we talked about our travels and other great experiences. He also gave me some good advice and information for my travels. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay with him and his family.
