Make no mistake, Karen & Jan's place is a sanctuary...a destination all on its own! The morning we departed, I took extra time to wander up the hill to the ancient stone house, entertain the cats & sweet pup, and enjoy the sun rising over the mountain. I wished I had done so sooner! Best however, was hearing Karen & Jan's plans for the future over a cup of coffee in their cozy kitchen. I must also say everything was brand new....and if not brand new...immaculate. My only suggestion to future guests is ARRIVE EARLY!!!! Driving up the dark mountain road in pitch black, near midnight, we accidentally pulled into the wrong house upon arrival. Never the less when we found our way through a few gates, Jan greeted us warmly and showed up right up to our room and where to find early morning coffee and tea before breakfast prepared by Karen. Yes, their home is central to some of the best areas of Ireland, but be sure to make time to enjoy time with Karen & Jan!
