Mrs Walsh was an amazing host. Sadly, or happily for some

Unfortunately, we never got to The Dispensary. After Stenna Lines cancelled our sailing four times - which would have cut our holiday down from seven nights to just three - we decided it wasn't worth the journey. Also, and perhaps more importantly, Southern Ireland was experiencing serious fuel problems we felt it diplomatic not to go and try to take fuel needed for their Emergency services. Margaret was so understanding and helpful we are already planning to book with her next year.

Road not too close with little traffic. Lovely area to sit outside and facing the sun all day. Idyllic setting. Near beaches and lovely places to visit
