Niall and Paul are the loveliest hosts. My friend and I arrived in Edinburgh for a conference and had a tightly packed schedule, so we didn't spend much time in their cottage. I loved how friendly and playful their puppies were, how they source fresh eggs from their own chickens, and how they offered us tea at every opportunity. One night, we came home a bit late, hungry, from a disappointing reception, and asked them if they had any food. Niall said yes and promptly cooked up some delicious pasta for us -- he didn't have to do it because he had to go to bed and wake up early for work but he did it anyway. That was a generous token of hospitality. I won't forget. :)
