This is a very special place, literally at the end of the world - or to be more accurate at the end of a peninsula that is very wild and very beautiful. The house is a real gem. Extremely tastefully furnished and every detail thought through. One is immediately engulfed into the life of this little community at the Western edge of Ireland. One battles with the elements (a full-blown gale when we arrived) and the wood stove in the living room, which unifies the family in coziness as well as the labour involved in getting it going. My children thought it was terribly romantic to collect drift wood from the beach. Everybody knows and welcomes the people who stay at 'Linda's place'. Everybody in the near vicinity means Keating's restaurant, reliable provider of Irish food, and the Kilbaha Gallery, which I cannot rate highly enough as a place of rest, respite and inspiration. Excellent coffee too. We also met the local cow farmers and riding teacher and a host of other locals, all eager to share good tips and good food. Despite being rather unlucky with the weather we had a great stay, not least because the house is so nice and spacious. The bed in the master bedroom has a great view over the sea, but is a bit on the small side. But otherwise everything was flawless. And do not be deterred by the solar shower. There is an electric one that produces beautifully hot water rain or shine.
