Read More...We spent 3 great weeks in Carrigaholt. The house became a real home to us during this time. We met many nice people and experienced the relaxed Irish lifestyle first hand. The cliffs and the wild Atlantic Ocean made a big impression on us. Dolphins played in the surf off the Bridges of Ross. We were amazed by the huge sandy beaches, for example Doonbegbay. Thank you for these experiences.
