The Green Gate is a secluded gem in the Ardara Hills. Our ride up to the compound while it was raining was an adventure as we weren't prepared with our giant VW van in the narrow road. However, once we got up to the B&B and were greeted by Claire with a pot of tea, bread and some homemade jam, our hard and tired exteriors were dissolved. We were given the background of the Green Gate and a ride into the town to have some dinner and traditional Irish music as both Paula and Claire suggested. The bedding was so warm and we slept well even with a slight chill to the air.
We woke up to a happy and peppy Paula and a delicious breakfast. We could have stayed all afternoon listening to her chat. Unfortunately we had to head onto our next destination after one night but not before getting suggestions for places to get tweed and where to go in Belfast.
I might come back one day solely to visit Paula and Green Gate again!
