Where to start -- the incomparable view, the cozy house, the amazing host?
This was our first visit to Ireland. Mairead's home was exactly what we were looking for. Perched above the bay with an outstanding view of the sea and the mountains, it is a perfect place to relax and recharge.
We experienced two days of "interesting" weather with torrential rain and gusty winds. The kind of day for sitting around the peat fire reading, snacking, and laughing.
Other days we explored County Kerry. Mairead had offered suggestions and there was a wealth of information in her home.
We cooked some meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed the local pub in Waterville. Having a washer and dryer was great.
But the best part was Mairead -- a cordial, welcoming host.
