Our home is a bright airy modern house with high ceilings and lots of light. It is very comfortable and doesn't feel like a hotel or something stolen from a magazine. 

We have LOTS of books & CDs and when you're sick of reading & listening to music, you can walk our dog (a lovely Doberman) for miles and miles through wilderness, go to the beach for a dip in the Gulf Stream waters of the Atlantic or nip into Galway and take in a bit of theatre or see a museum.
