Overall: We had the absolute best experience staying in Brian's house. I can't praise it enough, truly! The scenic location and the gorgeous house was our reason for booking the place and upon arrival it smashed our expectations (and they were high): house, host, amnesties, comfort, view, hiking paths - it literarily had it all.
Host: Brian went out of his way to give us the most memorable experience by offering to meet us there, provided treats and Xmas decorations (as we celebrated xmas there), clear instructions on how everything worked and was constantly available if we needed anything. 10/10 host!!
Accommodation: If it was up for sale, I'd buy it! That's how much we loved this house. The pictures are great on the site but they don't do justice for the spacious, fresh, clean, stylish, cozy- feeling it had.
The house has everything you need; We made xmas dinner, Swedish style and it requires a lot of time in the kitchen and we had all the equipment and essentials we needed and more! The living room had the cosiest setup with several sitting spots, a fireplace and a big TV for cozy movie nights. Beds and bedding are so comfy I never wanted to get out of bed but the stunning morning views outside my window forced me.
Scenery: For an outdoors lover like me and my friends this place is great. We lived right on a hiking trail taking us by fields with cows and horses and offers great walks along area. If you're not interested in walking but love a view, you just need to take one step outside the backdoor and you'll be offered stunning mountain views and a lake right in front of you. We had our morning coffee and evening drinks on the beautiful patio most days. Other scenic spots, such as the most southern spot in Ireland is only a short and scenic 30 min drive away - I would highly recommend going there if you're staying in this house.
Thank you Brian for the best Xmas experience and then most stunning and cozy house we'd stayed in. We're definitely coming back to experience a different season in this incredible place.
