The pod was large, clean and dry, and of course the location is beautiful and perfect for hiking and exploring the mountains. There are showers (remember to bring euro coins!), a kitchen area with hot water kettle and fridges, and a nice tea room for warm drinks and places to charge your electronics if you need them.
But the standout reason to stay here is the hospitality. John and Esther are lovely people, always greeting us with a kind word and friendly advice and even lending us a lamp to use during our stay. The whole vibe at Cronin's Yard felt very friendly and welcoming, which made our time there just that much better. Sadly we weren't able to climb Carrauntoohil while we were there, so when we come back to do so we'll definitely try to stay here again!
