My dream for our trip to Ireland was to tuck away into a cottage where we could read and write, take long beautiful walks, have dinner at cozy pubs listening to live music. All of my dreams for our Ireland trip came true starting at this first AirBandB.
I found so much pleasure in the simple routine of opening the blinds each morning to reveal the quaint garden, a thatched roof and a grey sea before sneaking down the rickety spiral staircase into the little stucco kitchen to make coffee. Alan and Mary provided everything we needed for breakfast: milk, coffee, tea, butter with homemade scones and brown bread.
The windy weather didn’t allow the long breakfasts in the garden I was planning, or the long leisurely walks, but the cottage was so cozy we enjoyed hanging in there anyway. One day the weather cleared long enough for us to venture down the hill through a maze of paddocks separated by crumbling stone walls winding lazily down to the sea. Mothers and their babies were everywhere, we even got to pet and feed grass to a friendly mare and her foal.

We ventured into two different pubs recommended by Mary in the nearby town for dinner and got to listen to live traditional Irish music. All of my dreams for our Ireland trip came true starting at this one AirBandB. It was one of the best AirBandB experiences we've ever had.
Keep in mind it is very secluded. There are no restaurants or pubs with food in their town, you have to venture at least 10 or so minutes out to the next town. We didn't mind though! It was part of the charm to be so isolated.
