Mairead and her husband were incredible hosts. My sister and I were passing through to do some hiking and check out the kylemore abbey and their house was so close to the Connemara park entrance. The house itself was a piece of art- and I mean that literally. Her husband was an artist and all his work was around that house and it was truly beautiful. Breakfast was a very thoughtful spread and anything we needed or any advice we sought both were very quick to help. :)
