Best B&B ever

We followed the directions and found this sign directing us to our next B&B. This place is on a farm with cows, chickens and a very friendly pup.



This is the front of the house. Jimmy is the owner and is also a pastry chef. He runs the B&B three seasons and then heads to New York City for the winter. He welcomed us with herbal tea and cookies and gave us a great suggestion for dinner which was just five minutes away.



After dinner he sat down with us to help us plan our trip around the peninsula.
Here is the view from our window. We slept the best ever here--window open, sea breezes, comfortable bed.



Dad took this picture of Jimmy on our last morning there. We had the fluffiest scrambled eggs and Irish bacon the first morning along with his home-baked scones, muffins, and brown bread. The second morning we had waffles with fruit as well as the same breads. He makes mini muffins and small scones which we were free to snack on anytime. The first night we were there Jimmy asked if we wanted to learn how to make his brown soda bread. It was so cool to be in Ireland watching a chef make the infamous soda bread. He gave us recipes to take home for the scones and bread. Every restaurant serves this bread along with the meal. It's a quick bread with a lot of grains in it. Yum!



We really hated to leave this place! We also met Jimmy's fiance, Noreen, and heard the proposal story from him. He said he told his brother he'd get married before he turned 50 and he'll make it by a year!
