We had such a wonderful time at John's place -- it was exactly what we were looking for and we honestly never wanted to leave! We used the GPS coordinates provided to us by John and had no problem finding the place. When we arrived we were just overwhelmed with the beauty of the place. John greeted us and provided us with great tips for things to do and see in the area and was very accommodating!
The bothy was honestly a dream come true -- it was so peaceful and serene. John had a fire for us when we arrived and fresh bread and flapjack biscuits. We woke up and had the granola, yoghurt and coffee that was provided and enjoyed the sunrise outside. In the evenings we really enjoyed the grill and the wood burning pot belly stove.
The property is amazing - from the back of the bothy you see endless nature. We walked down to the river on the property and passed by their friendly horses and found a waterfall... all on the property... literally -- a dream.
John's local tips of where to hike and go were unmatchable -- the hike he told us about just up the road from his place is not something any tourist would be able to find on their own and is uncharted territory -- we really really enjoyed this hike. We also checked out Helen's bar (aka O'Sullivans and loved having pints on the pier)
The bed was incredibly comfortable. The shower... was AMAZING- great pressure, hot water! We could've stayed forever!
Thank you so much John & Siobhan, we hope to be back someday very soon!!
