Dear Gerry, we had a very nice week in your house! The kids liked it a lot, and so did we. We had more rain than expected, so we had to cut down our excursions a bit. But then, the warm and cosy house was great when we returned with wet clothes - and the five of us had enough space. I really have no idea about hints for you to make things better - just leave everything as it is! We were happy to find some basic things in the kitchen, like oil, butter, salt and so on, since the next shop is not just around the corner. I would recommend your house to anyone who looks for quiet nature. Now I know the narrow Irish countryside roads, I would not recommend it to people who plan it as a base for excursions in a bigger radius (more than 80km one way) - but even that might work out without three kids on your backseat!
