Anne et Larry nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis très à l'aise avec eux. Nous avons fait connaissance avec grand plaisir de Féah et Saoirse d'adorables Setters que l'on aurait bien ramenés avec nous en France tellement elles sont attachantes! La maison est très confortable et grâce aux conseils de Anne et Larry nous avons pu découvrir après la promenade matinale des toutous cette belle région. Merci beaucoup à nos hôtes qui nous ont permis de passer un séjour inoubliable. Et félicitations à Anne pour le stew Irlandais et à Larry pour son fromage.

English below. Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine chez Ann et Larry ! Ce sont deux personnes adorables, qui nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de simplicité et de générosité, nous nous sommes immédiatement sentis chez nous. Et que dire de Saoirse et Fiadh ? Ces deux chiennes très bien éduquées sont adorables, très faciles à vivre et à promener, que ce soit dans les champs autour de chez elles ou plus loin. Impossible de ne pas craquer pour elles ! La campagne irlandaise est magnifique, la maison d'Ann et Larry est située entre Galway et Westport et l'entrée d'un Connemara est à une heure, ce qui permet de visiter de nombreux endroits sur une journée. Le plus ? Larry est fromager et ses fromages sont délicieux !! Merci encore à Ann et Larry de nous avoir fait confiance pour ce séjour, c'était une magnifique expérience et nous espérons avoir le plaisir de revenir ! We had a wonderful time at Ann and Larry's house. They are both lovely people, very welcoming and kind. We immediately felt at home in their house and we had an amazing time with the two doggies ! Saoirse and Fiadh are such good girls, very well trained, very easy to manage, we loved spending time on walks with them. We couldn't hope a more pleasant stay. The countryside around the house is very charming, so Irish ! The house stands between Galway and Westport and the beginning of the Connerama is at one our drive. We feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to take car of Saoirse and Fiadh and to have met Ann and Larry. We hope to see them all again !
