What an absolute hidden gem in a part of the the country that is often overlooked for the tourism of the nearby Wild Atlantic Way. I'm Irish and my advice to my foreign brothers and sisters who find themselves in our homeland is to make the detour here and you won't be disappointed. The villages and shores of Lough Derg are wrapped in history, charm and friendliness and largely untouched by mass tourism. Carole and Kevin's property oozes character and olde world charm and their personal touch has been to add a mix of eclecticness and exquisiteness. You'll never want to leave.
As for Carole and Kevin themselves. They are warm, friendly, inviting who welcomed us into their lives and home for the weekend. We felt like we were part of their family who were just visiting them for the weekend. Special shout out to the 3 dogs who had us smiling and laughing all weekend.
It's because of hosts like Kevin and Carole that I will continue to use AirBnB over commercial hotels. A real insight into the Irish way of life that you just won't find in the Irish towns and cities.
