We spend three weeks in Irene's very cozy and comfortable place. It is in the middle of nature and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Her cats are very sweet and we enjoyed looking after them. The tasks in the house and garden were good to manage and we liked it.

Celina and Claas were fantastic. I was away travelling for three weeks and left them alone to take care of the cats and do jobs. The cats were very happy and spolied, they loved them.

They had their own car and very independant. They are a kind, mature, trust worthy and hard working couple and I highly recommend them as guests .

Irene always made sure that we had everything we needed and gifted us with a beautiful home for about three weeks. The house itself is quite old but the facilities were incredibly modern. As passionate cooks, we spent many hours in the kitchen.
Irene was easy to get in contact with if we had any questions and let us know in advance when she wouldn't be available.
It's been almost 2 months since we left, but we're still thinking about Bugaboo, Lady Iveagh, Rudy and Shadow (the amazing cats) every day and miss them a lot!
To sum it up, Irene is the best host for everyone who loves cats and enjoys being surrounded by nature. We are really excited to come back and see all the cats and Irene again!

Dear Irene,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible hospitality and warmth you extended to us during our stay in your beautiful home. It truly was a blessing to have crossed paths with someone as kind-hearted and generous as you.
From the moment we stepped through your door, we were enveloped in a sense of

We were especially touched by your dedication to your work and the passion you exhibit in everything you do. Your drive is truly inspiring, and it was a privilege to witness firsthand the love and care you pour into your endeavors.
Of course, I can't forget to mention our beloved furry companions – your cats. They brought us endless joy and affection, and their presence added an extra layer of warmth to our stay.
Working alongside you in the garden and helping with various tasks around the house was a pleasure. It was fulfilling to contribute to making your home even more beautiful and organized, ready for the summer ahead.
Moreover, our conversations with you were always a highlight of our day. Your wealth of knowledge, particularly in history and Irish culture, made each interaction enriching and engaging. Your willingness to share your insights and experiences with us was truly appreciated.
But above all, it was your kindness, compassion, and genuine care for others that left the biggest impression on us. You have a heart of gold, Irene, and your generosity knows no bounds.
Thank you for making us feel so welcomed and cherished during our time with you. You truly made us feel at peace and at home, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
With heartfelt thanks and warm regards,
