My husband and I stayed one night with Michael and the donkeys and we absolutely loved it. The location is amazing, right out on St Johns Point, with an expansive view of nothing but grass, blue skies (well, kind of, it is Ireland after all!) and the coastline in the far distance, the accomodation is warm, cosy and rustic and Michael is a fantastic host.

I arrived feeling a bit tired and sorry for myself with a head cold, Michael quickly bundled me up with a hot water bottle, fresh coffee, freshly baked scones, jam and cream (the best we have had in Ireland). Despite my remonstrations, I was even fed a glass of lemon, honey and seaweed. He then took my husband off to the pub to meet some friendly locals while I curled up in the bed and slept. Perfect!

When you stay here you are sharing the cottage with Michael. There is only one bathroom and meals are taken in the conservatory out the frint, where its lovely and warm, and you can enjoy the views. He gave us plenty of space, but we also sat and chatted. Which we enjoyed immensely.

The scones were the best we have had in Ireland.
