Lovely. The property, the layout of the accommodations, the amenities provided, the thoughtfulness, the peace, the LAVENDER, the church bells.... I could go on and on. I researched accommodations for this trip for months and this one was on my list from day one. I'm so glad I booked it! The communication from Paul was fabulous and Karin was just wonderful. We are coming away with loads of regrets though, first and foremost being that we had to leave. Seriously.
1) So bummed we didn't make the time to visit Hickey's sooner than our last night. Tom and his brother and sister-in-law and other locals that we didn't catch the names of, were so fun to talk to! So kind and friendly. The stories. The peat fire. The cold pints. Just what I had imagined a chilly Irish night in a pub to be like. Now if there was food to be had, we would have been in every night. Just saying....
2) That we didn't get to do the Silvermines Mountain hike again. If you want a lovely hike through an almost midevil forest to the most Irish of stunning views, you have to hike Silvermines Mtn.
3) That we weren't able to enjoy the peace of the garden more despite tea out there every morning and most afternoons. The birds and the mist and the wind in the trees.... the smell of lavender in the air.... and the church bells! I mean, come on! You must make garden time when you book here. And you need to book here! My guys did not find the beds particularly comfy but I really had no issues myself and perhaps a few rugs scattered about wouldn't hurt but otherwise, every comfort was thought of. We will definitely be back if they'll have us. 10 out of 5 stars for us!!
