You cannot find someone kinder and more hospitable than John! The room was lovely, and fully stocked to accommodate any needs one may have while traveling: hair dryer; books; travel books, pamphlets, and maps; water, etc. The bed was very comfortable. His dog, Sam, was as sweet as can be. John gave us a ride into town and even a quick tour of Cork! He gave us an excellent dinner recommendation for tht evening. We really enjoyed talking to John. He is a very interesting guy, and he happily answered any questions we had. After our stay he even sent us a list of places to go out in one of our upcoming cities. We hope this is not our last trip to Ireland, and when we return, we would love to stay with John again.
