We live less than 50 minutes' drive away but had to attend a party near Maureen and Joe's place in the countryside and when I first contacted Maureen she offered straight away to drop us and collect us afterwards which is unvaluable. We had the nicest welcome on Friday night with Joe, were made to feel very comfortable to use their kitchen for our own dinner, ate in the private breakfast room, had a lovely night in the quiet cosy room, with nice views, choice of cereals, scones, muffins, etc.. at breakfast (late in the morning) went for a walk as advised by Joe & Maureen on the hills, went for a nap in the afternoon and really enjoyed our party and a good lie in before leaving with the feeling that we had just visited friends. Definitely would recommend a stopover here to experiment the true Irish hospitality. You might even end up with the gift of second hand books (lots of them on site!) Can't thank you enough.
