Michael and Sheila proved to be excellent hosts and the accommodation at Jerpoint was brilliant. As we pulled into the carport in front of our door we saw an Australian flag hanging there as a greeting for us. Sheila showed us around and explained the workings of the place.

Later, Michael gave us a comprehensive run down of things to do nearby and wider afield in the Killkenny county.

We had a very comfortable stay in the huge apartment and our travels around the district brought us to a top class golf course nearby, and several interesting towns and villages.

New Ross, with its President Kennedy memorial and Hook lighthouse were both notable.

Thank you Michael and Sheila for making our stay one of the most memorable of our 2015 tour.
