It is hard to find fault with the locale, home, garden, and gracious hostess Maureen. We flew into Cork and started our weeklong trip (Cork County, Kerry Ring and Killarney National Park) at Maureen's. We were travelling with a 2,5 and 4 year old and were therefore gearing our outings with their pleasure in mind. We stayed for 3 nights and I was initially worried that we wouldn't find enough things to keep us occupied, but there was plenty to do. Maureen listened carefully to our preferences and then made spot on suggestions. She even recommended a radio station for the road after I said I loved the music playing at breakfast! It was her attention to details e.g. enquiring about the kids' ages and then putting out different toys and books each day to keep them amused. Their backyard filled with swings, hammocks, a zipline and trampoline was paradise for my kids. And if that wasn't enough, the breakfast was fantastic: much better variety and higher quality than what I expected from a "continental" breakfast, that is advertised. I highly recommend a stay at Maureen's and not just an overnight pass-by on your way to the Kerry ring. We would have missed out on so much had we done that.
