What a wonderful experience! We stayed with Carmel for two days, and each of them was an utter delight. Carmel is the quintessentially ideal host--warm, kind, hospitable. Her cottage is lovely and the sitting room, bedroom and bathroom are charming, clean, and welcoming--a home away from home. Many other visitors have already commented on how good the breakfast was, but we must add our compliments to the mix--remarkable breakfast, as in, we kept remarking to each other the rest of the day how good it was. Carmel was respectful of our privacy but also happy to share with us her knowledge of lovely Louisburgh and the surrounding countryside--thanks to her recommendations, we ended up enjoying many unforgettable attractions we never would have visited otherwise. Still can't believe we paid such a low price for such a wonderful stay. We hope we can visit sometime again!
