LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Made-to-order breakfast each AM by Patrick, and then he sat down and went through each day's itinerary with us, offering pointers to avoid traffic and take advantage of the most scenic routes. Delicious food, nice/clean room, centrally located to Killarney, Gap of Dunlow, etc. Peter was awesome too! We'll be back for sure!
