I don't believe my vocabulary is verbose enough to accurately depict what this trip meant to me. From the beginning Irene was incredibly flexible when my flight ended up landing quite late. Irene and Dave's hospitality is borderline unmatched to any other place I've stayed. I felt as though I had drove up to a house of distant family members as opposed to an Airbnb and they proved to treat me as such. Between the long farm walks and beers by the fire my fiancé and I spent more time there than we had anticipated. They provided us with the perfect balance of friendship and privacy. When I wanted to spend a week in Ireland, I wanted to really experience Ireland, no fancy hotels or structured tours and by staying here I was able to do just that. I knew this was my new favorite home away from home when thier dog Bruce greeted me with a baguette. You won't find that at a Hilton. The uniquely wonderful personalities displayed by Irene and Dave can also be found in thier children, who popped in and out from time to time. Whether it be genetics or a result of environment, thier kids were just as much fun as they were.Being the same age as myself, we were all able to hang out together which really gave me the "Irish experience". I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that I made some lifelong friends on this trip and I can not thank the family enough for giving me one of the most breathtaking vacations of a lifetime. We will most definitely be back and there's no where else I'd rather stay than in the comfort of the home they provided me.
