Our host was very hospitable and had the stove lighting when we arrived aswell as providing ingredients in the fridge for a cooked irish breakfast, scones and 2 mini bottles of wine. She gave us lots of advice on places to see and where to eat. An electric blanket was on the bed and there were 3 armchairs and a couch. Very tranquil setting. We enjoyed our stay very much
