Coming from the USA, we came to Ireland to see family and travel. We came to see the rolling green meadows, the meandering stone walls that looked like an ideal patched quilt. The animals grazing, the water from the bay rolling in and out in the light and sometimes blistery west coast rain. Carmel's homestead is just what we wanted and more. We opted to drive a quick mile or two out of town to find peace, rest and all the amenities! The town is very close actually, and you do need a car rental here to see the sights anyways. We slept 7 of us all in beds. Warm showers, very efficient hearing, furniture, stove, oven, washer and dryer and more! It is fully equipped and our big family loved it! My only issue was finding it initially. It seems that addresses in Ireland are just a name of a home and an area, not necessarily an actual address where you can put it on google maps and bam you are there! It's quite the adventure figuring it out.Part of the mystique of the Ireland! But if you communicate with Carmel, she will give you directions from town! One morning I woke up early before everyone else. I got my tea and sat at the kitchen table looking out on the meadow and water with the light rain shower. It was my time and I loved every minute of it. Don't stay in town, anyone can do that. See the country and live.
