I had the pleasure of staying at Gertie and Larry's for a month. It felt like I was with my Irish parents. The room is comfortable, cosy and super clean. The house is warm and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay. I had my own space but I was also always welcome for lovely chats and cuppas, which I genuinely miss. I have brought back Irish hospitality, humour, kindsness with me from this beautiful home. Thank you!

I had an amazing 4 week stay with Gertie and Larry. They were lovely and I really enjoyed talking to them. They have such a beautiful place and it felt like I was back at home. The railway station was just a 5 min walk from the house which was really handy for me. I had a wonderful time with them.
Thank You so much for having me!!Host reply
