We—my wife and I—just returned from two weeks in Europe. We stayed the entire time in one country (Ireland), one region (Dingle Peninsula), one place (Maureen's). And, on all counts, I'm so glad we did. For us Maureen's cottage was perfect. The location—steps away a small cove and beach, a short walk (along the water) from town—is quietly spectacular. The space itself is clean, comfortable, and full of natural light. And you couldn't ask for a better host: Maureen was unfailingly thoughtful and helpful, ever attentive but never intrusive. We can't wait to return.
