Perfection. In a word, it sums up our visit to this beautiful Raphoe "cottage" - a deceptive moniker, however, as Mary & Peter's place is sprawling. The quality of the gut renovation that was done in this beautiful building is astounding. Every modern amenity has been thoughtfully considered. The grounds and main house are beautiful as well. An enormous welcome basket of local foods awaited us - the fridge was stocked too! If you are looking for a posh stay in old Ireland (the meandering trip past town offers incomparable green views. Just watch for incoming vehicles -- usually tractors -- escaped sheep, and potholes), then look no further. As a long time Airbnb member, Mary & Peter's place definitely beats ALL others. Sadly, I didn't meet Mary, but I feel as if I know her through all our email communications. Liz -- Mary's warm & kind assistant -- greeted us each with hugs and made us feel like long lost friends. Peter, Mary's husband, gave us the tour of the property and couldn't have possibly made us feel more welcome. Both Liz and Peter stopped by multiple times to make sure there was nothing we needed, but were extremely careful to allow us as much privacy as we needed. My daughter loved the very low-key resident dog, Missy! Run to book! You'll be really happy you did. Thank you Mary, Peter and Liz.
