Regrettably, it turned out that I couldn't stay overnight with in Trish's place. My wife went down with a bad cold that day so the plan to overnight in Killarney and do some cycling the next day didn't work out. I still had to travel for work, but decided to return to my home 3 hours away to make sure my wife was ok. Trish offered to refund my payment, but in fairness, it was a bit late for cancellations - she could have given the room to someone else, had she had more notice from us. I appreciate the honest offer. Then Trish offered me the key of the house telling me to use the breakfast room to make a sandwich / cup of tea before I left Killarney for the trip home.
I was glad to make use of her offer at 1:30am; left the keys for her and headed off into the night.

For what its worth, everything was spic and span, warm and welcoming. The bed looked like it guaranteed the best nights sleep ever! I'll have to return again to find out!
