We were in the area to visit our daughter at the Ballymaloe Cookery School. John and Noreen welcomed us warmly into their family (which includes a herd of 220 dairy cows). Noreen serves a tasty family style breakfast, including fresh milk from their herd of cows. A true local Irish experience, especially good for travelers wanting to get a taste of the local lifestyle. A beautiful location with rolling fields and a distant view of the ocean. The weather was warm when we were there, and we visited two of the local beaches. The upstairs bedroom is cozy and comfortable, with beautiful views of the countryside. This is in a rural area and the local towns are small, so having a car is necessary.
