Highly recommended! Picture a fine hotel suite, newly-constructed with superior bedding, desk, wardrobe, nightstand, and beautifully-tiled bathroom with a great shower. Now multiply it by three and add a gorgeous living room/dining room and huge, fully-appointed kitchen with table and chairs, lots of new appliances, and a washer and dryer nicely located at the end. In the kitchen you find food, coffee, tea, and other things generously placed there to enjoy while there. Add to it two wonderful human beings, Betty and John, who start off as your hosts and end up as your friends.

Four of us had a marvelous time staying at Derry House, conveniently located in Listowel, not far from Tralee and Ballybunion. John introduced us to a wonderful pub in Listowel, John B’s, where we spent two long evenings singing, imbibing, and in animated conversation with regulars, irregulars, and visitors. John made a point of introducing us to everyone. At the end of our visit, two of us left clothing behind. John and Betty graciously posted everything to us immediately after we left.

I have used airbnb quite a number of times over the past two years. These accommodations were the best by far. All four of us were thrilled by the experience. Do rent Derry House during your visit to Ireland!
