Hi,Marie Gormley, from Co Tyrone-The house was amazing, we all loved it, especially the open space. The interior of the house was really eccentric and different. It was very homely. We loved where it was situated, the view was stunning and we would take walks around the back roads in the morning. Ballyliffin had very affordable hotels that offered great breakfast & dinner services. We were very close to beach and Clonmany. So we didn't have far to travel to get to the festival. We loved the small family bars and the amusements at the festival. Overall even though we were there for the festival we loved the peace and quiet we got from our location.
