THE VIEW!!! First and foremost, I must mention that the photos here do absolutely no justice for the view from Gerard's place. This was our fifth stay in Ireland (all in different locations, and we tried to get them in beautiful areas), but the view here was by far that most beautiful. Looking out the window over the bed this morning, we had a gorgeous view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Fair warning, his place is quite some ways from the nearest town (about 25 minute drive). It's so worth it though!
Gerard was also especially kind to us during our stay. He went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed, and recommended several places for us to eat at in town. He even did our laundry while we were out and had it ready for us prior to our departure this morning.
Gerard was a wonderful host and we appreciate him greatly during our stay. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
