From start to finish we were made to feel most welcome. Even on our morning walks the local drivers all waved and said good morning. We are from the UK and the US. This charming house provided us with a perfect base to explore the area and also hunker down and enjoy our family time. Joe and Carmen are the kindest hosts. There were delicious treats in the kitchen to make our arrival Even sweeter. We will definitely be back at some point during the warmer months! Lots of quaint villages and bigger towns nearby, can’t wait to come back and explore even more! Thank you!

Super, friendly host Joe met us and gave us an insight into the local area and lots of information.
There was just the two of us but the property could easily accommodate seven people.
All the facilities that we required, a true home from home.
Perfect location for our days out both locally and as far as Waterford, Dublin, Galway and Westport.
Thanks again Joe.
