Miriam and Jaume stayed with us for over 2 month. If you are looking for a couple who works well together and is not afraid to do any type of work you have found the right people. As well as that both are easy to get on with and discuss any issues that may arise.

Thank you very much Des and Heidi! We really had a great time with you in Ireland! Heidi and Des are a warm and friendly couple and we immediately felt at home with them. Listening to Des' songs at the pub was an exciting experience such as swimming with Heidi in the "warm" ocean's water!!!
Wish you all the best! (We are very sad for Buster.)
