We have been to three different regions in Ireland so far and this was the nicest stay.
The McElwee family are extremely friendly and nice people. Margaret and Michael lovingly looked after us. For questions they were always there as a contact person for us. We were supplied with vegetables, delicious jams and scones.
A highlight were Michael's self-grown potatoes, which were much more intense flavor than the German.
The occasional conversations with the McElwees were very interesting and informative for our upcoming ventures.
You also learn something about life from the point of view of the locals.
The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. Everything you need is there and you can take care of yourself. A Lidl was nearby in Milford.
In the evening you could sit comfortably in front of the peat fire and plan the next day.
The house was deliberately chosen by us, because here you live very quiet and a little secluded from the next larger village. Perfect for relaxing.
In the morning we share the peace and the coffee with the cattle and sheep grazing in the surrounding pastures without traffic noise and tourists hordes :-).
The central location, from which many sights of Donegal and Northern Ireland, from Slieve League to Belfast, can be reached within a day's trip.
On and near the Fanad peninsula there are several headlands with beautiful cliff and sea views for hiking. Even beaches are very beautiful on Fanad.
Actually, the weather does not play a decisive role. For almost any weather conditions, there are opportunities for things to do and destinations.
We will definitely be back again in the next years.
Keep up the good work. Your guest concept is 100%.
Until then, we wish the family McElwee all the best.
Roxanne, Iris u. Achim
