My family (husband and two teen daughters) had an amazing time at Mairead’s home. It’s location is terrific for local hiking and a quick jaunt to a pub. We needed to drive to other locations as we didn’t feel safe walking on busy and narrow streets, but that was expected. The spectacular Derrynane Beach is a five minute drive, which we enjoyed immensely. The neighborhood is super quiet and people are very kind. We encountered a few issues with the home when we arrived that Mairead addressed very quickly as she lives upstairs. She kept to herself unless we sought a chat, at which time she was happy to talk with us. Her knowledge of the area and recommendations were fantastic and helped us determine how we wanted to spend our days. She is a lovely woman as was her home. Although there was so much to do in the area we also enjoyed spending time just relaxing at her beautiful house that overlooks the mountains. Lastly, we appreciated the bottle of wine and chocolates she left for us (very thoughtful) but would have also been thankful for a few more necessities at easy access (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, etc.) but this didn’t put a damper on the terrific trip!
