john was so responsive immediately and it was a great find as we only were able to rent for 5 nights in high season. mary, the caretaker, was so kind since we could not find the house after a long 6 hour drive from dingle. she met us and helped us find it and get settled in. when we asked her to call us a cab for dinner, she got us one for return only and she offered to drive us herself! she came by one night and set up a peat fire which was lovely. john made sure we even had blowdryers, as i requested. the views are spectacular and we loved waking up the the bleating of the sheep. beds are comfy too. i loved walking up and down the road. we visited killer sheep farm and did the killary fjord boat tour, Ashley falls walk, hired john hannon of Connemara day tours for a great 5 hour tour of clifden, sky road, omey beach and so much more, kylemore abbey and the gardens, diamond head at cnp, and the various beaches. we loved this part of Ireland. folks so kind and really good food too. thanks so much john. it was a pleasure staying in your well loved house filled with so many great family photographs and memories. we also did not miss wifi (kids did!) but it resulted in a lot more game playing and laughs.
