Eleanor was amazing and took the time to show us around and plot out maps and share guidance for us to make sure we hit the best spots. Her home's setting, her lively dogs, the views of her fields and the hills beyond, the comfy accommodations, yummy breakfasts, the coziness, the beautiful horses, the lovely peat fires, and the close proximity to Adare and Limerick--everything was fantastic! But most of all, the congeniality of Eleanor--along with her spirited wit, humor, generosity and kindness--made the visit such fun! From our walk in her wood to our daughter's opportunities to ride "Marvelous Murphy," to meeting all the dogs and learning about Eleanor's passion for foxhunting and her family's connections to the land--to exploring castle ruins that aren't on most maps--to an amazing journey into the Black Valley and the Gap of Dunloe--to fancy fun at Adare Manor--to a jaunt to Killaloe--and exploring the Limerick Market--we had such a great time! Eleanor is truly the salt of the earth (and can also be downright saucy, which made things particularly memorable and fun!). Eleanor (and Claire), thank you so very much! All the best to you for summer's end into autumn and beyond!
