Ruth was an absolutely wonderful host. She is warm and friendly and made us feel right at home. My fiance and I were visiting to complete the Tochar Padraig, a 21 mile ancient pilgrimage from Ballintubber Abbey to Croagh Patrick (where he proposed! A truly memorable visit indeed). Ruth was so generous to accompany us to leave our car at the base of Croagh Patrick, and then drive us to Ballintubber Abbey, so that our car would be waiting for us upon completing our trek. She was so helpful as we made our plans, even making us some hard boiled eggs for the morning of our journey and calling her doctor for us when my fiance was bitten by a dog along the way (he's fine!). Her home is clean, comfortable, and so inviting. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.
