"We are back again in Switzerland, but the time we spent in your House was just marvelous! I did not expect such a beautiful place (and I have been traveling to Ireland for 20 years now). We really enjoyed it very much. The House is very nice, in a fantastic area and with a dream view! All I can say is, these were the most beautiful holidays we have ever had in Ireland! I hope to be able to come back another year to spend some more time in Cahirisiveen and this House.

It was just so perfect. We had no problems with anything. Trish was looking after us well. Say another thanks to her as well. The toaster gave up his Spirit of Life, but don't worry, we bought a new one. So everything is left as we met it. We made a few very nice walkings right away starting from the House. Between 6 to 8 hours we have been on tour! Great walks around the cliffs.

The 2 weeks we were there we had very good weather too. The first 5 days were just blue skies and sunshine, it was almost unbelievable. In the evening a few drinks (Guinness of course) and afterwards a sitting in front of the fireplace with the taste of a Turff fire.

Well, I really could continue my letter for many more pages, but I am still too sad when I think back to the House. So as I said, we hope for another great time in Ballycarberry House.

Thanks a lot to you, that we could be there.

"Apart from the fact that we kept banging our heads off the low ceiling at the top of the stairs and at the lintel after stoking the fire, this has been the best cottage we've stayed in. Great location. P.S. The castle and ring forts were a nice touch - whose idea was that?"
