Pat was as helpful as one can be and made himself available also through his network of people and friends living in the neigbourhood, who maintain the house and its surroundings in good state and who are always ready to help. The house is as described with a lot of space, which allows to spend time there even if the weather is not as nice as wished. We were six, but even with eight people, you can spend nice time there easily. Also the green space around the house is paradise like. Children can jump on a trempoline, can play football or whatever without disturbing adults who prefer to rest or to remain among them. The description is even a bit too modest. Everything is easy to handle including the heating system, which is quite useful in Ireland. The showers too work very well. The description to reach the house could be improved. In the very complete welcome package e.g. the way is described with more details than it is on airbnb . The apparent remoteness of the White House was finally a false obstacle as one gets used to drive 5 à 10 km to reach the towns Bantry, Ballydehob or Skibbereen. Also one gets used very fast to the multiple little roads (boreens) in the countryside and there is no big danger to get lost. The choice of scenic landscapes and villages to discover is endless (Mizen Head, Scull, Sheap's Head, Glengarrif, Gougane Barra etc.), beaches are not really far neither and one week is not enough to discover all including the islands and Barra Peninsula. We got fresh fish and lobsters for good price at Union Hall. But beside the house, the landscape etc. what we loved the most is the incredible friendliness of Irish People. It is not the first time we notice it but here it is even more obvious than elsewhere. This is probably the biggest wealth Ireland has, the friendliness of its inhabitants. It is so relaxing to cope with people who do not consider you overall as a mercantile being, as a walking wallet... I wish other cultures could be inspired by it.
