The first thing we did upon checking is was run up the beautiful spiral stairchase to the balcony and look at the stars. They were so bright! Christine checked on us frequently as we had come from Florida and the weather in Ireland was a bit cooler than we are accustomed to-she wanted to make sure we were warm enough.Christine gave us several ideas for places to visit in the area and went so far as to order and hide a birthday cake for my husband and sister who had mile marker birthdays.We had plenty of room, the kitchen was stocked, the beds were comfortable and warm, plenty of room to park, rural but not so remote that we couldnt get to the Cliffs or Moher or Galway in less than an hour. We have more adventures to plan but if we get a chance to return to Ireland, we will book again here! ##### Susan F. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott M.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard L. Aug 21, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Although this lovely Georgian farmhouse is full of potential, it did not come up to our expectations. The kitchen was poorly equipped, there were many flies in the house on our arrival and the general cleanliness was substandard. Problems with hot water and a shower that was either scolding hot or freezing cold! As far as value for money is concerned, it was not only overpriced for what was offered, but the fact that the full amount was required at the time of booking more than six months in advance (no initial deposit) meant that someone was earning interest on our money and did not even bother to use it to improve the poor conditions. I shall be seeking compensation from either the owner or the agents. ##### Richard L. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron K.

Was great to get to stay in the Ireland countryside! Christine was a phenomenal host. When we arrived, it was after some people had already been in Europe for a week and we were counting on the washer and dryer. Unfortunately the washer didn’t work when we got there, but without a beat Christine offered to do all of our laundry at her own home and brought it back to us later in the day. We also had a question of what the contraption was across the road, and we got a full demonstration from her family member (the Guiness record holder) for Sheaf tossing! A great stay, and we all enjoyed the home fully! Thanks again for the stay Christine! ##### Mike H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jocelyn o.
