Joan was a great host! Her neighbour let us in and gave us the keys because she was out when we got in, but the two of them couldn't be any nicer!! We got great Connamara! Her directions were fantastic, as we didn't have gps (we were using a map) and the area where she told us to go was stunningly beautiful! Also, breakfast was delicious!

We arrived and Joan had just broken her wrist that day. With the help of her neighbour, Mary, Joan carried on and provided a great experience. Every morning she helped book tours for the guests. We felt very welcome in her home.
