Gertie and Pat set the bar for our first visit to Ireland!
They were our first stop on a sixteen day trip around the Island. Jet lag, getting newly acquainted with driving on the left, and being unaccustomed with the roadways...got us to their house very late. Pat took our call, and guided us to Kilcannon House where he reset the fire, showed us around the cottage, and made us feel at home!
Sitting on the kitchen counter was Gertie’s delicious Apple Sponge Cake!
Next morning we opted for Gertie’s much-praised breakfast. Not only was it skillfully prepared, it was also elegantly served!
The cottage had every attention to detail. Each item was purposeful, and the decor charming. The bed and linens were heavenly!
Gertie reminded us to take it slower, and not try to see too much in one day...we are now following her sage advice, and savoring the sights and sounds of Ireland!
Pat’s stories were fascinating and his good humor contagious! We loved seeing his fierce pride for family, and country!
The hospitality and attention to detail were outstanding!!
