My brother, mother and I had a truly wonderful experience staying in Lorraine's gorgeous home. We brought my mom, who is dealing with early to moderate stages of dementia, to Ireland to see where her grandmother was born and grew up. We wanted a 'home base' that would be lovely to hang out in on our rest days. We couldn't have chosen a better place. The views and location are stunning and serene. The only noises you'll hear are cows or sheep. There's a great, short, steep hike to Eask Tower right down the road where, if you're lucky, you'll get a chance to talk with the charming neighbors who sometimes collect your 2 Euro donation at the trailhead.
As far as the house itself and Lorraine's hospitality, you couldn't ask for a better home and hostess. We arrived later than planned and were so appreciative to walk in to the kitchen to a fresh loaf of brown bread, a stocked pantry and fridge (even with vegan choices, catering to my dietary preferences), a bottle of wine and a bottle of Dingle Gin (and she didn't forget to leave us tonic)! The rooms are all clean and comfortable and house has amazing light and views surrounding it. Lorraine checked in via text every couple of days and was super prompt at replying whenever we had a question.
We hope to go back someday and intend to stay there again; I can't say enough about how truly great it was to stay in Lorraine's house and have her as our hostess.
If you're thinking about staying there, think no more and just reserve it. You deserve it!
