Rooms were all clean and tidy, well stocked kitchen and John always responded quickly when a question arose. He greeted us and gave a quick tour of the home, advised of local spots that added greatly to our visit and was a fantastic host. Home is situated perfectly for shopping in either Kinvara or Gort and also very close to many outdoor activities.

Lovely vacation in Ireland

Very friendly hosts, house is large enough for a Family and utterly clean. All sights at Ireland‘s West Coast are easy to reach because it is close to the motorway. Shops and Restaurants are close by. The Hosts had lots of great tips! We will happily come back!

Perfect House

We had such a nice Week in the old School House, which was lovingly furnished and very good equiped. The introduction through the Owner was very nice and helpful with lots of recommendations for many things. We loved the scenerie around and felt so comfortable there.
