IrIsH hOuSeS

Here are some photos of the B&B's we stayed at. All in all, I would do it all over again. A million times. The women that ran these were lovely, even the creepyoldlady.



This was the second B&B we stayed at. They had a lovely Golden Retriever that instantly became my friend and nibbled on my sweater. The cows chose not to be best friends with me, though. They kept their distance despite my sweet-talking.


And this little lovely was also on the property of the second B&B. We were not granted a tour of the facility. But we did some snooping and discovered it to be quite nice on the inside.


This was the manor house we stayed at in lieu of a castle. But I liked the manor house just fine- we got a free dinner with two bottles of champagne, a bottle of wine, and all the desserts you could hope for instead of spending a night at a "castle".


This was officially creepy old lady's house. She was nice and such, but in the main dining/living/kitchenish area, she had a stuffed fox on top of a bookshelf. She also had horses, sheeps, chickens, cats, and peacocks. They were not weird. The fox and the lady were weird.


This was creepyoldlady's brokeback horse. He looked friendly, although I didn't test him...


We stayed at this house the night we drove to Ennis for the music festival. Nice house, clean, etc etc. But the hosts were leaving to go to a funeral when we arrived. Kind of strange.


We stayed at this house for two nights in the south- Traemore, I believe it's called. We LOVED this family, loved being near the water, and also needed a break from being on the go for the week prior.

This was the first house we stayed at, in Northern Ireland. Quite friendly people, and it was also where Nikos fell in love.



hahahhha. I'm so funny.
