We had a truly wonderful stay with Vivian, Chris and family. As our first point of call in Ireland this was a wonderful foundation, we got a feel for Irish life, Irish music and a sense of the generations of history there are here. Vivian kindly picked us up from the train station and took us out to our cabin on their farm. We felt right at home as their organic choice of lifestyle with compost toilet reminded us of hiking around New Zealand mountain huts. It felt lovely to be staying amongst nature and knowing we were helping preserve it. The cabin was warm with a potbelly fire. The bed was up a tree-hut-like ladder. Their dogs and other farm animals were very loveable.

Vivian and Chris were great to converse with, so friendly and we really felt welcome into their family life there. We wish we could have stayed longer, and if we return to Ireland we would stay here again.
