Lina's house is the most precious place to stay in. All the family is wonderful, calm and warm and friendly. Everything is in top shape, including the indeed very cosy room, the perfect but small bathroom, the hugs and well-supplied kitchen and the beautiful garden, ocerlooking calm and friendly surroundings. I went around the quarters in the middle of the night and felt vompletely safe. Took only about 25 minutes by foot to reach the city centre and there is a bus stop not far from the lough nearby.
Lina and her family went out of their way for us. Another good person Said we ought to ask her prepared her extraordinary tasty and precious dumplings for us, which we did. The cist nothing of their great value.
We left the house very early the last morning and Lina and her husband both got up to help us - we even got help to carry our exaggeratedly big luggage to the taxi.
Only thing I can say is: Go there! And stay there as long as you can. You will feel as part of the family AND be treated with the Greatest respect - or even more wonderful: they honoured us! We could feel nothing but joy and peace in their company. Yes - big words but they are true.
PS. Domeone else wrote that it was difficult to communicate with Lina. Just speak slowly and clearly - she will understand or otherwise she calls her son. And she is an expert at Google translator to and van make herself well understood. If you give her the chanse! She's only lived in Ireland a year. The son's commandment of the language is astounding. As is that of her husband who really went out of his way to decipher the messy note I left about our departure and even let me prepare some breakfast in spite of the early hour.
Heartfully felt: THANKYOU FRIENDS!!
