There are no words to describe the very kind and caring Kathleen, her outstanding hospitality or the amazing rooms she offers!
Let me try anyway: we arrived a day later than expected due to a cancelled flight. Kathleen refunded the first night as if it were no issue at all! The flight we then took arrived in Dublin at 8pm and by the time we got our rental car and arrived in Arthurstown, it was 11:30pm. But Kathleen was awake and waiting for us! In the morning, when she heard us rummaging around, she prepared breakfast: home-made fresh fruit salad, home-baked fresh croissants right out of the oven and a variety of home-made jams - of course with coffee and tea. I could’ve sat at that table forever, leisurely watching the green of her garden and the blue of the water! It’s the same gorgeous view we had from our ensuite room - simply breathtaking! The towels were plush and additional ones stacked in the wardrobe, and the shower pressure was fantastic (great to wash thick hair).
At Kathleen’s place, one honestly feels at home. And she’s so “easy” to talk to: be it sightseeing tips, travelling the world, US politics, cooking/baking or whatever comes to your mind! And she packed us home-made lemon seed cake as a snack when we left - so yummy!!
We thank you, Kathleen, for your kindness, hospitality and generosity! Arthurstown is a better place with you in it! =)
