*** 'A place out of a fairy tale ... like stepping back in time. Loved the countryside, the views, the sound of the wind, smell of the air, taste of the local fare ... Can't wait to return.' [California] *** 'La maison, le lac, les montagnes, les moutons, les lapins, les irish coffee, et le soleil (mais oui); bref, cet endroit, si ce n'est pas le paradis, ça y ressemble!' [Garches, France]. *** 'J'aime Paris depuis 60 ans et l'Irlande depuis une semaine. Merci pour la gentillesse des Irlandaises et les Irlandais.' [Paris]

*** The house and the views were just everything we had hoped for, the arrangements perfect and Betty just as helpful and as good an occasional cook as could be.
The weather was mixed, but for the first time I can remember, I was almost hoping for one day completely written off by wind and rain so we could just enjoy the house, the fire and the books.
We'd love to come again- maybe with more friends and family! [Norwich, England]
