In August 2015 I spent 10 days b&b at 'Fireside' in a wonderful middle of nowhere and used it as a base for different trips and had a key because of my longer staying.
You need a car or bike to get there - then you get a quiet and nurturing surrrounding. The house is very cosy and individual arranged, 2 cats who live their own lives.

I enjoyed sharing kitchen, living room, fireside, breakfast with Gabi, Christy and their friend Rob. They are open, aware and interested people who give you the real feeling, that you're not just a customer but enriching the house.
They invited me to come to the pub and listen to very fine traditional music, the informed me about possibilities in the west of Ireland, the were open for talks, the vegetarian food Gabi prepared I enjoyed very much!
As I'm a singer, we had wonderful sessions together -
Christy is a fine drummer and harmonicaplayer, Gabi plays Tin wistle and handdrums, Rob plays finest guitar. Over the ten days, we got closer and more familiar - I even got a nice nickname (secret...!) and a special big tea- or watermug!

But this coming closer is not a must, it surely also depends on how people fit together!
You also can use this b&b just as a lovely staying without going into that much contact - it's up to you!

You share also the bathroom, get your big towel and use the hairdryer - no problem, very easy.
Breakfast (at any time you wish) is rich - muesli, cereals, fresh fruit, juice, toasted bread, butter and marmelades, joghurt, egg, tea and coffee (a good one -no nescafé!).
During the day or evening you can always make yourself a tea.
Rooms are not huge but nice arranged and clean.
When weather is fine, you can sit outside with marvellous view over the green fields and even see the sea.

Well, enough now - a wonderful place!
Thank you for making me nearly feel at home.
